Release Notes for AccuPro v8.00


Software version 8.00 includes the following software fixes and enhancements.

Software Fixes
The following fixes pertain to the operator and/or supervisor:

Teach Routines
The software will no longer allow unprinted boards to be sent downstream after completing a
teach or calibration routine.

QFP Teach
The auto pad teach routine for QFPs has been improved to reduce errors caused by traces
located near the ends of the QFP sides.

Alternating Wet/Dry Wipes


Alternating wet/dry wipes now functions correctly.

SRC Stage During Vision Teach


The Src Stage already moving during Vision Teach error message caused by requesting
multiple moves in Vision Teach has been corrected.

SPC Data Corruption


SPC data corruption has been corrected.

Board Transport
Numerous transport issues, including the transfer of boards with cut outs, unnecessary
initializations, and large board transfer have been resolved.

Loss of Fiducials
Fiducials located very close to the board edge will no longer be accidentally deleted.

Production Mode
The user must now pause the printer to access the SPC charts. Right clicking on the charts
caused motion errors. This has been removed.

Board Transfer Buttons


The user must now pause production in order to access the board transfer buttons.

SPC Chart Replay


SPC chart replay has been corrected. This issue occurred when entering the SPC Chart
Replay feature and having only one component taught for 2D inspection.

Slow Snapoff
The Slow Snapoff rounding issue, caused by the metric to imperial conversion, has been
Part No.1010502

Rev. M1

corrected.

Wiper Paper Percentage


The Paper Remaining% progress in the Production mode correctly indexes to 0% from
100%. Updated per paper usage has been corrected to reach 0% before the Wiper Paper
Empty sensor indicates Paper Out.

Z-Axis Heartbeat
The Z-Axis heartbeat condition (where Z-Axis would pulse up/down) has been corrected.
This heartbeat issue caused intermittent Z-Axis failed to reach destination issues.

Improved Rheopump Processes


The issue where the rheopump incorrectly reported Paste Empty has been corrected.
The Failure to Reach Print Pressure error has been corrected.

Optimize
Optimize now uses all of the fiducials taught. This will reduce the amount of XYY correction
required for alignment.

Shutting Off Vision Bulbs


When Vision Teach, Device Teach, or Production is NOT being used, the lights are now
disabled.

Improved Tooling Positioning and Error Handling


The tooling layout issues, which occurred when creating a new board file from an existing
board file, have been corrected.
The possible tooling crash into the rail, if a pin was not stored correctly, has been corrected.
Software now allows for the stopping of Auto Tooling from the Auto Tooling dialog.

Improved Rheopump Processes


Created prompts to remove rheometric pump supports during a changeover sequence.

X Move will not Void Vision Calibration


X move will no longer void the vision calibration.

Stencil Clamps
Stencil clamps now default to Open when the printer is E-stopped or powered On. The frame
clamps engage if a wiper sequence is activated outside of production mode.

2D Priority Level
The 2D priority levels now look for the downstream conveyors Not Busy signal to
determine when/if lower priority devices are to be inspected.

Inspect Paste
The Inspect Paste option now homes the squeegee height to allow adequate viewing of the
Part No.1010502

paste roll and will place the squeegee stroke over the rear of the image.
The selectable Lift Height value for paste inspect is now hard coded.

Software Enhancements
The following enhancements pertain to the operator and/or supervisor:

New User Interface


Speedlines Benchmark user interface has been implemented (Figure 6). Users now enter
production mode by simply pressing the Play button on the right side of the screen.

Figure 6. User Interface

Vision on the Move


The software now computes the fiducial positions and findings while moving to reduce the
cycle time of the printer.

Vision Calibration Speed Up


The software has dramatically reduced the time required to perform vision calibrate in the
Vision Setup screen.

Point and Continue in Production


This release implements a method of re-locating a fiducial when the vision system fails to find
it. This feature, used previously in Version 6.x software, has been restored.

Improved Tooling Positioning and Error Handling


Manual post storage now has four carousel moves:
single step
three steps
90
180
When a post fails to be placed, the software (when selected) will retry to place the missed pin.
Previously, it would just skip this pin (Figure 7).

Figure 7. Manual Pin Storage Screen

10502_02

Improved Rheopump Processes


Users can now swap the print direction from within Production, when paused. The pump will
raise (if down) prior to moving.
The pump will now raise correctly when the stencil is instructed to be loaded or unloaded.
The print will not continue unless the pump has successfully filled or charged.

Board Tagging
Board tagging of known bad/unprinted boards for fiducials not found, 2D errors, or other
printing errors.
Unprinted or rejected boards in production mode will now be prompted for removal from the
printer instead of being sent downstream. Errors include (Unprinted Boards, 2D Rejects,
Fiducials Not Found, Board Stretch Failures). Once an unprinted or rejected board has been
removed, Production automatically resumes.

Changeover
Boards will now be purged during a changeover.
When performing a product file changeover, the user will now be prompted to remove any
boards from the tracks so that the printer can change the rail width when necessary.
Part No.1010502

Board Stretch Feature


The board stretch feature has been implemented.
When this is set to Reject/Warning (Figure 8):
Reject - automatically rejects a board which exceeds the allowable stretch.
Warning - prompts the user to print the board or to reject it.

Figure 8. Print Profile

10502_01

Optimize
The order in which fiducials are Looked At has been optimized such that the vision will
Look At the fiducial closest to the board stop position regardless of the sequence in which
the fiducials were taught.

Dispenser Option
The Dispenser options icon is now disabled when a pump is activated in the current product
file.

Release Notes for Version 8.1.0


Software version 8.1.0 includes the following software fixes and enhancements.

Software Fixes
The following fixes pertain to the operator and/or supervisor:

Closed Loop Squeegee Graph


Previously, the read data function on the closed loop Squeegee feedback pressure chart was
working only intermittently. Occasionally, the read function would appear to be working, but
at the end would display a message indicating that an invalid squeegee was selected.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Intermittent Squeegee Move Error


Previously, the closed loop squeegee was moving to the pressure position after the software
commanded it to move to the zero position.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software. The squeegee now moves to the
correct position when commanded by the software.

Cannot Stop Production After Closed Loop Squeegee Feedback Error


Previously, the system would lock up if you selected the Production Setup tab after receiving a
closed loop squeegee feedback error. Once the lock up occurred, you could not exit the Setup
tab, and could not use the Pause, Stop, and Start buttons.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Cannot Calibrate Rear Blade During Closed Loop Squeegee Calibration


During closed loop squeegee calibration, the squeegee z axis would move smoothly while
positioning the front blade for front blade calibration. However, when positioning the rear
blade for rear blade calibration, the squeegee z axis would exhibit a stuttering motion, and the
rear blade could not be calibrated.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Closed Loop Squeegee Displays Incorrect Pressures


Previously, the closed loop squeegee chart was displaying incorrect pressure values.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Single Rail Z-Axis Safety Fix


This disables the machine from raising the Z-Axis when a transport sensor is made (CE
compliance requirement).

Too Much Paper Being Used on Wiper


Previously, the wiper was using an excessive amount of paper during the stencil wipe
sequence. Several changes were made to correct this issue:
A Prime Solvent button was added to the Stencil Cleaner setup dialog and the Change
Paper dialog. Pressing (and holding) this button at either screen dispenses solvent onto
the paper. Solvent dispensing stops when the button is released.
The default solvent prime duration was changed to 0.1 seconds. Also, the solvent
prime sequence will now only occur before the first wet wipe of each wipe sequence.
The software was modified to ensure that a wipe sequence will always start with clean
paper.
The initial paper advance was removed from the beginning of the wet wipe cycle.
Now, the sequence for a wet wipe is to first wet the paper and to then move the wetted
paper over the wiper plenum.
On the Stencil Cleaner setup dialog, the options Advance paper for each wet wipe and
Wet paper for each wet wipe have been combined into the single option Wet and
advance paper for each wet wipe.
The wiper paper automatically advances the distance specific to the type of wipe to be
performed (wet or dry).

For example, if the paper over the plenum is wet or you are advancing the paper for a
wet wipe cycle, the paper is advanced a distance equal to the setting in the
UltraWiperIncrementDistanceMM file.

Also, if the paper over the plenum is dry, and you are advancing the paper for a dry
wipe, the paper is advanced a distance equal to the setting in the
UltraWiperCleanPaperIncrementDistanceMM file.

Software Enhancements
The following enhancements pertain to the operator and/or supervisor:

FMI Option for Non-Production Mode


Allows for boards to be transferred into and out of the machine for setup ease.

2D Device Teach via Stencil


The user can now teach 2D devices using the stencil apertures for the template by selecting
Teach Stencil at the New device dialog (Figure 11). This allows for difficult devices to be
taught more accurately and easily.

Release Notes for Version 8.2.0


Software version 8.2.0 includes the following software fixes and enhancements.

Software Fixes
The following software fixes have been made for this release

Run Time Error When Viewing Pad Average Cover


Previously, a run time error would occur when the user attempted to view the Pad Average
Cover chart (in Production mode).
This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Excessive Print Strokes During Knead Paste Routine


Previously, the Knead Paste routine caused excessive print strokes.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

2D Component Names Cause SPC Database Error


Previously, excessively long 2D component names caused errors when written to the SPC
database.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Optimize Failure During Teach Vision Board Stage


Previously, the Optimize function would fail when the transfer system attempted to stage
boards during the Teach Vision routine.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Software Enhancements
The following software enhancements have been made for this release:

Camera Park Speed


The speed at which the camera moves away from the wiper (after the wiper completes the
wipe cycle) has been reduced.

Release Note for Version 8.2.1


Software version 8.2.1 includes the following software fix.

Changing Wiper Paper During Production Leaves Printhead in Wrong Location


Previously, a Change Paper routine initiated while in production mode would leave the
printhead in the wrong location. This would result in an incorrect print stroke for the next
printed board.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software. At the conclusion of a Change Paper
routine, the printhead will now move to the squeegee start position (front or rear) in
preparation for the next print stroke.

Change Wiper Paper Routine Fails When Initiated in Middle of Wipe


Previously, the Change Paper routine would fail when initiated while the wiper was in the
middle of a wipe sequence. After the wipe sequence, the wiper would start the sequence of
events involved in a change paper routine, but would fail to reach the point which allowed
actual replacement of the paper.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software. The Change Paper routine now
completes successfully when initiated from the middle of a wipe sequence.

Release Notes for Version 8.3


Software version 8.3 includes the following software fixes and enhancements.

Software Fixes

Cookson Name and Logo


The Cookson name and logo have been replaced by the Speedline name and new Speedline
logo in the following areas of the software:
Splash screen
Main machine image
Help screen

Unable to Properly Position a 17" x 12" Stencil Adapter


Previously, when using a 17"x12" stencil in an adapter, you could not optimize because the
stencil frame size was outside the machine limits.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software. The frame size dimension in the
Stencil Tab has been increased to accommodate a 17" x 12" (431.8 mm x 304.8 mm) stencil
mounted in an adaptor. The increase in frame size limits ensures that the stencil removal
system does not cause the stencil eject pistons to damage the adaptor and/or the stencil
mounted in the adapter.

No Printer Timeout After Board Jam


There are two scenarios for a board jamming during a board load:
Prior to reaching the outboard sensor of the input track.
The board jams and is making the outboard sensor of the input track.
Previously, the AccuFlex would not time out when a board jammed when loading into the
machine.
This issue has been resolved for this release of software.
If a board jams prior to reaching the outboard sensor of the input track, you can now
press the PAUSE or STOP buttons to exit the board load sequence.
If a board jams and is making the outboard sensor of the input track, the printer times
out and automatically puts itself in a paused condition.

Teaching Pads and Apertures as Fiducials is Difficult


Previously, you were only allowed a single attempt to rubber band (set) the vision aquisition
box when teaching pads and apertures as fiducials. In addition, you were only allowed to set
the acquisition box by dragging to the right and down.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software. You are no longer limited to this
sequence and can set the acquisition box in any manner desired.

Home Rails on New Product File


Previously, you had one of two machine configuration choices. The first would not home the
rails when a new file was loaded. The second would home the transport rails when the file was
loaded and when the Y dimension of the file was modified.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software. The software now home the rails
when a file is loaded, but will not home the rails if a slight adjustment in rail width is made.

Print Offset Display Error


Previously, when the printer units of measure was set to metric and the offset value was a
negative number, the offset display box would not show the minus sign and would cut off the
last m of millimeter (mm).
This issue has been resolved with this release of software. The display box area is now larger,
and the displays justification has been corrected. You will now see all offset value information.

Increase in the Maximum Wiper Stroke Range


Previously, the wiper stroke range limitation was set to 10mm from the programmed squeegee
stroke. This eventually led to paste build up on the stencil from pushed paste and would be
transferred to the foils, causing defects.
This issue has been resolved with this realease of software. The limitation has been increased
to 40mm in order to reduce this phenomenon.

Board Stop Initialization Sequence Can Damage Board Clamp Foils


Previously, the board stops initialization sequence could cause damage to the board clamping
foils in certain circumstances due to the board stops retracting down when the camera is in
the area between the transport rails.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software. The initialization sequence will now
initialize the board stops after the vision Y axis has homed to the front of the machine and the
Vision X axis has initialized to the far right of its travel.

PCB Load Delay


The PCB load delay (as set in the INI file) has been corrected and now functions correctly in
accordance with the time set in the INI file.
Part No.1010502

Tooling Positions Off Intended Positions


The default tooling post positions in the INI file have been corrected for fresh software
installations. However, field-upgraded systems will not change the tooling post position.
Changing these values requires the machine to be recalibrated, and also invalidates all
previous tooling pin positions for any given program file(s). The tooling pin positions for each
file would need to be re-taught as well after the tooling system is recalibrated.

Software Enhancements
The following enhancements have been made:

Off -Line Programming


Modifications have been made to support off line programming.

Machine Default Settings


Changed default machine configuration to aid Manufacturing

New Features
Three new features have been added for this release:
Fine Pitch

Offline Programming of PCBs Using Circuit Cam


The AccuFlex can now use a file created using the AEIGS CircuitCam off line programming
application.
The AEGIS software will take a boards CAD or gerber data and create a fully functional
recipe for the AccuFlex, including all program parameters, tooling positions and 2D. The
AccuFlex software can directly open this file and, with minor modification, use it for
production.
To complete the recipe file creation, you must teach the actual fiducial vision models by
loading the file and completing the vision teach routine (including Optimization and
Calibration). The fiducial locations are already known (by use of the CAD or gerber file), but
the actual fiducial model is not. Additionally, all 2D inspection devices should have their
positions verified.
A new feature (Adjust) has been added to the 2D inspection screen (Figure 19) to allow you to
quickly verify and adjust the 2D device positions. This function will select all devices and run
sequentially through the device list, allowing you to adjust the device mask position to align
to the correct device location.

Release Notes for Version 8.3.1


Software version 8.3.1 includes the following software fix:

Resetting of Recovery Flag


The software has been modified to reset a flag used to support the recovery of an aborted FMI
board load condition.

Release Notes for Version 8.4.0


Software version 8.4.0 includes the following software fixes and enhancements.

Software Fixes
The following fixes pertain to the operator and/or supervisor:

Vacuum Tooling Sequence


The sequences for turning the vacuum tooling on and off have been adjusted to allow the
system to operate more effectively without board foils. Vacuum will now turn on any time the
board is above transport height and turn off at transport height.

Custom BGA
Previously, pads in the component center area would become disabled when certain BGA pad
layouts were taught. The inspection process would halt when the routine was unable to locate
pads. This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Wiper Stroke Calculation


An incorrect value was found that defines the location for starting and stopping the stencil
cleaner. The INI parameter UscPlateToUscSqu should be changed from 45 to 36 in order to
correct this error.
This release does not automatically make the change for you (when upgrading your software)
since it will affect previously defined process files. You must determine if the change should be
applied.
The following parameters have been modified in the SIGPRO.INI file.

applications working directory. In response to customer feedback, Speedline has defined the
directory to be a sub-directory under the directory defined for process programs (typically
c:\files\BGA).

Custom BGA Screen Tab Order


Previously, the tab order used by the custom BGA screen was inconsistent with typical
conventions. The order has been changed to cycle through the parameters more orderly.

Missing DLL on Windows NT Systems

Software Enhancements
The following enhancements have been made for this release:

Stencil Cleaning Solvent Prime Function


With the release of a new solvent spray bar design (tube in tube) used for wetting the stencil
cleaning paper, a new parameter (Prime Frequency) was added to the Setup stencil cleaner
screen (Figure) to allow priming to occur on a set interval of stencil cleaning. Valid range for
this new parameter is 0 (never) to 100 cycles.

Figure 21. Setup Stencil Cleaner Screen

For machines not fitted with the tube-in-tube hardware option, the default Frequency will be
set to 1, thereby operating the same as the previous version. For machines fitted with the tube-
in-tube hardware option, the default Frequency will be set to 0 (never).
The following parameters have been added to the SIGPRO.INI file to support this feature.
[UnderStencilCleaner]
UscTubeInTubeFitted=False

Added Move Camera to Back Button


A Move Camera to Back button has been added to the Print Mode Utilities screen and the
Utilities pull-down menu. This feature helps to facilitate manual cleaning of the stencil by
automatically moving the camera out of the way for unobstructed access to the stencil.

Wiper Speed Enhancements


Significant changes have been made to improve stencil cleaning operations. In conjunction
with a CRATE firmware change (Align Card #4 now at V5.2), the stencil cleaning module
operations now operate at a higher rate of speed. New parameters in the INI file allow the
collecting and parking to occur using increased speed and reduced engagement delays.
Even without the firmware change, you should still experience faster cleaning cycles.
The following parameters have been changed/added to the SIGPRO.INI file to support this
feature:
Changed:
[SRC]
YMaximumCount=24500

Release Notes for Version 8.4.2


Software version 8.4.2 includes the following software enhancements.

Software Enhancements

Changed Z-Axis Homing Routine


Machines assembled with cast mechanical components on the table assembly benefit from the
improved homing routine that prevents motion below the axis home position. Previously,
with v2.01 firmware loaded in the z-axis controller, it could be possible to drive the table low
enough to damage the cast components.

Note
Additional hardware and calibration procedures are required to implement this feature when
upgrading to this release. By default this feature is not enabled on an upgrade. V2.2 firmware
incorporates an improved homing routine that prohibits movement below the home position.
By default, when the v2.2 firmware is flashed to the PacSci controller, it will respond exactly
as the previous v2.01 firmware until the required z-axis calibrations are performed. This
implies that any version of Accuflex will work with any version of firmware. The revised
homing routine is only enabled by re-calibrating with Accuflex v8.4.2 or higher when
firmware v2.2 is present.

Increased The Number Of Cycle For Diagnostic Tests


With the implementation of QC-CALC, is was identified that the user would benefit from
diagnostic data with a larger dataset.

Added Graphic Grid Over Camera Calibration Screen


To assist with the theta alignment of the camera, a graphical grid is available from the vision
calibration screen.
This feature requires service level access.

Home Powered Rails During Product Changeover


To improve rail positioning accuracy, during product changeover the rails will initialize and
then move to the requested position.
This feature is enabled via the Configure > Options menu under the Product Changeover tab.

Camx/QC CALC Message Format


The missing termination character for the PrintCycleData message has been added.

Initialization Of Z Axis Every Thirty Cycles


The legacy code that caused the Z axis to initialize every thirty cycles has been removed. This
was an artifact of an earlier control architecture.

Post Dry Wipe


An additional step has been added to the stencil cleaning sequence that allows for a dry,
non-vacuum wipe as the final step to the wipe sequence. This feature is enabled by selecting
Post dry wipe from the Setup stencil cleaner dialog:

Wiper Paper Advance Following Wipe Cycle


This feature allows you to advance the wiper paper following a wipe sequence in order to
tension the paper for the next wipe and remove any potential paper sagging caused by wet
wipes. This feature, which is set in the Setup stencil cleaner dialog (above) is available for both
the dry and wet wipe modes.

Camera Parameters Moved to INI File to Support Custom Features


The camera scaling and exposure parameters have been moved to the INI file to permit
changes in the magnification and lighting. This feature is only used on custom systems
requiring such a feature and should be changed only by Speedline.

Improved Wiper Paper Inventory Formula


The wiper paper increment routine has been improved to better calculate the paper position
during consumption. The operator is required to maintain accurate paper parameters in the
INI file. These include paper length, supply roll outside diameter when full and supply roll
outside diameter when full when empty.
It is also important that the proper motor hardware be installed and motor speed settings be
applied to the INI file. For maximum accuracy, the supply roller tension may need to be
calibrated.
[UnderStencilClean]
RollDiameterFullMM = 63
RollDiameterEmptyMM = 25
TotalPaperLengthMM = 16764
PaperDriveRPM = 11

Support for QC Calc


The CAMx event log features have been exposed to permit data capture via QC Calc. No
license for CAMx is required when used under this scenario.

Improved 2D Results Form


Previously you would need to open the Advanced portion of the dialog to see additional 2D
results. With this software release, all results are combined onto a single form for ease of use.

Improved Diagnostics Utilities that Integrate with ProLink QC CALC


The diagnostic routines have been rewritten to provide better test scenarios and improved
data presentation.

Improved Closed Loop Diagnostics


A Service level diagnostic routine can now be used to test the repeatability of the closed loop
squeegee system.

Sequence Change Allows for Sharing of Fiducial Data by Alignment and Inspection

Software Fixes

Double Board Load when Pausing Production During Load


Previously, on systems configured to run with FMI, when pausing production during a board
load sequence, the system would loose track of the board inventory. Upon resuming
production, the system would call for another board using FMI, causing the initial and the
secondary board to enter the worknest.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Retract Board Stop Magnets


Previously, under certain conditions, the board stop\tooling magnets were left in a downward
position. Although not recommended, some customers would on occasion manually move
the camera gantry and cause a collision between the board stops and the foils\rails.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software. To improve the handling of
messages, the board stop will now be raised before any alerts. No action is required to
implement this feature.

Support for Tooling Offset Calibration


This is a service-level tool for updating machine calibrations for tooling pin placement.
Currently the data is set at the factory, but this calibration routine permits field re-calibration
when higher accuracy pin placement is required.

Corrected CAMx Message Formats


Previously, certain CAMx messages were improperly formatted or terminated. These have
been corrected in this release.

Default INI Parameters


Changes have been made to the default parameters used when creating new product files.

Force Vision Calibration Before Tooling if Process File Created on Another Machine
If the process file was created on another machine (different serial number), then the system
forces the need for vision calibration before tooling.

Added Load Board to Vision Height Menu and Toolbar Button


A menu item has been added under Utilities and in the utilities toolbar to allow for loading of
boards to vision height.

Rail Home Process Can Damage Rails if Sensor Disconnected


Previously, the system would not detect if the rail home sensors failed, leading to the
possibility of machine damage when moving inward after a false home signal.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software. The homing routine has been
changed to ensure that the home sensor toggles.

Option to Force Rails Home During Product Change Over


Due to the potential for rail drift, it is recommended that the rails be homed before adjusting
during product changeover.

Camera Calibration Screen Improvements


To assist with camera alignment, an overlay grid has been added and the live vision window
has been expanded on the Diagnostics/XY Camera form.

Failure to Create Template Directory


When running the BGA wizard, the BGA template directory is created under the
DefaultFileLocation. Previously, an issue existed where that if the DefualtFileLocation
directory was not created, the application would error out.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

configured for automatic stencil cleaning.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Application Shuts Down When Selecting GridLok on Systems without Vacuum


Previously, the printer application would shut down when you select optional tooling on
systems not configured with vacuum tooling.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Release Notes for Version 8.6.0


Software version 8.6.0 includes the following software enhancements.

Software Enhancements

SnapOff Delay
A delay parameter has been added whereby the board will remain in contact with the stencil
following the print stroke. The delay can be set between 0 and 30 seconds (in 1 second
increments); with the default value being 0 or no delay.

Calibration Date
A feature has been added that records the date and time that the closed loop pump was
calibrated in the sigpro.ini file under the [SqueegeeStage] section.

Conveyor Load Timeout


Support for configurable conveyor load timeout has been added for this release. Some
installations using 2-wire machine interfaces (non-SMEMA), need the ability to configure the
timeout used by the board load routines.
The default value for this delay is 0 seconds which implies the conveyor never times out. For
2-wire interfaces, it is recommended that this be set to a time slightly longer than the longest
time to index a board. This value is maintained in the sigpro.ini file under [Transfer]
MoveOnTimeout.

Tooling Pin Deletion


You can now delete pins from the tooling setup page by holding down the shift key while
clicking on a pin.

RemoteTech
Desktop and menu links have been added to walk users through the process of connecting to
Speedline RemoteTech service. This feature requires that the Accuflex have access to the
Internet. Through a user initiated process, RemoteTech allows Speedline Technical Support
personnel to watch the same screen that the user sees. RemoteTech keeps control of the
machine at the user side, but provides a powerful tool in diagnosing machine issues by
allowing Speedline remote access to the machine.
RemoteTech requires IE 6.0 (or greater).
Contact Speedline Technical support for more information.

Production Rate
A new chart in the SPC area of the production screen (and a display under the tabbed dialogs)
displays a calculated production rate based on user configurable parameters. The user has the
ability to determine the average production rate of a configurable sample size.

Display Name of User


The status bar now displays the current user.

Enforce PCB Sensor Keep-Out Region


Previously you could not place tooling pins in the region below the PCB present sensor.
This issue has been resolved. With the implementation of a newly designed ultrasonic sensor,
tooling pins may now be placed anywhere.
Once the ultrasonic sensor has been installed, the field service engineer should append the
following entry under the tooling section of the INI:
EnforcePcbSensorKeepoutArea = FALSE
In the absence of this parameter, the system will default to true, thereby enforcing the keep-
out rules.

Expand User Security Option to Cover Sub-Menu Options


Supervisors can now configure menu level access for up to 10 individual user levels using the
System access permission levels dialog. To configure a user level, select the level using the
slider at the bottom of the dialog, then select what functions the level will have access to using
the on-screen checklist.

Ability to Configure Board Stop Actuators


Users can now select one or both board stops to stop boards during the loading sequence.

Vision ID
A new feature has been added that allows fiducials to be used for alignment or identification.
By defining a fiducial as ID, that fiducial must be found prior to printing, but the location
will not be included in the alignment process.
This feature is useful for ensuring that the proper stencil is loaded for a particular board.

Default Recipe for Defining Default Values


Users can now save a file (with the name DEFAULT.SMT) that will be used as a template
each time the user selects New from the file menu.
A warning is displayed each time this file is saved.

SnapShot
A new utility allows you to capture a snapshot of your system, so that you can forward it back
to Speedline for troubleshooting process-related or machine-related issues. The package is also
stored locally on the system hard drive and can be opened using common file compression
tools. The utility also has the ability to send the package via FTP (if the system has Internet
access).

File Change Indicator


An indicator is now displayed at the top of the right hand machine status bar whenever a
process parameter has changed and the program has not been saved.

Improved Inspection Results Navigation


When an error is detected by the 2D inspection feature, the first error is displayed. In
addition, navigation buttons have been added to allow the operator to jump to either the
next\previous pad or component.

Conveyor Transport Speed


The conveyor transport speed setting is now set as a specific parameter within the recipe file
and not in the machine configuration file (sigpro.ini).
An appropriate transport speed can now be set for each individual product file.

Software Fixes

Wet Paper Increment Distance


Previously, the wet paper increment distance would be reset after it was set and the process
programmed saved.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Double Board X Move


Previously, when using the detent (Board X Move) feature on the board load sequence, the
board stops would sequence twice to position the board to printing.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Enable HiE License


This version of AccuPro enables the HiE license by default. This license key enables cycle time
enhancements for controlling stepper motor speeds. Previously, machines needed to have the
license key installed to derive these benefits.

Table to Tooling Height


Previously, when Load Board to Tooling was selected on the machine maintenance form, the
board would first move to vision height and then down to tooling height.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software.

Table Diagnostic Data


Previously, the diagnostic results for XYY backlash were only validated against the X axis data.
Y axis failures were not being properly reported.
This issue has been resolved in this release of software.

Silence Audible Alarm


Previously, when an audible alarm error occurred, there was no way to silence the alarm while
the operator addressed the error condition.
This issue has been resolved with this release of software. Now, when an alarm sounds due to
an error condition, a button displays (in the right side bar under the machine start\stop
buttons) allowing the silencing of the alarm.

Offsets Calibration
The calculation of offsets and camera scaling during the calibration process has been
improved with this release of software.

New Calibrations
The following new calibrations have been added for this release:
Stencil Ejectors
