| 2.4 Establishing communication connections between software and instruments |
The instrument supporting software is a green software that does not require installation and can be opened directly. Firstly, power on the device and turn on the power switch. Then, open the software to log in and enter the main interface. The software will automatically connect to the hardware and observe the network connection status at the top of the middle of the software. If it shows that it is not connected for a long time, please check whether the instrument power is turned on; Is the network cable loose. The network is not connected and cannot perform any operations.
|
| Select the software system "Settings" ->"System Settings" to view the IP address and port number (the IP address is set at the factory and does not need to be set by the user). |
| |
| After successful login, the software will attempt to communicate with the instrument. When the network connection is normal, the network status will display green connected. If the instrument has not yet started to the "working" state, the communication failure network status will display not connected, as shown in the following figure. |
| |
| 2.5 Software Main Interface |
| After establishing the communication connection in the previous section, the software enters the main interface, as shown in the figure. |
| |
| The current user is displayed on the top left side of the main interface, and the instrument status is displayed in the middle, including network, temperature, and solution height; On the right is the switch button for dynamic and static testing modes; |
| On the far right side of the main interface, from top to bottom, are: |
| Data monitoring area: Display the current collected conductivity, temperature, liquid level, and display the calculated pollutant quality and concentration; |
| Part Number Selection Area: Select the test part number, with two buttons: Apply and New. Click Apply, and the product information display area will display the parameters of the tested part number (length, width, area, effective area percentage, testing standard, and testing time), and immediately refresh the standard line and coordinate axis of the ion concentration curve; Clicking 'New' will open the product settings window, where a new part number will be created. You can also open this window in 'Settings' ->' Product Settings' (detailed in the settings section); |
| Apply original part number |
| New Item Number |
| |
| Running status display area: displays the current running time and current running status; |
| Button area: There are two buttons in the button area. The first button is a function button that is divided into regeneration, start static testing, and start dynamic testing functions. It will automatically adapt to the testing mode selected by the user; The other is the interrupt button, which will prompt the user whether to interrupt the current test. Click Yes to interrupt the current test, and click No to cancel the interrupt operation; |
| In the middle of the main interface is the acquisition window and the curve drawing area. The curve can display the conductivity curve and ion concentration curve. This can be toggled by clicking on the conductivity and resistivity legends to display the curve, which defaults to displaying the conductivity curve. |
| 2.6 Product Settings Interface |
| Before each test, if necessary, modify the product parameters. Click on the main interface and select the menu "Settings" ->"Parameter Settings", or click on "New" to pop up the product settings dialog box as shown in the figure. |
| |
| The product settings interface consists of a template path and file save path area, a part number management area, a product parameter setting area, and a time setting area. (Note: The file location should not be saved to the software directory. When creating a new folder to save, it should avoid affecting the software operation. It is not recommended to save to the desktop as it is easy to lose and not easy to retrieve.) |
| Template path and file save path area: |
| Report Template "is an Excel template file (. xlsx). Click the 'Select' button to select a template in Chinese or English. The template format is as follows: |
| |
| Select Report Template |
| There are two templates provided here, Chinese and English, with names: ChineseModel.xlsx and EenglishModel.xlsx. The test results will generate reports in different languages based on different templates. (Note: The location for saving the report cannot be saved to the software directory. It should be saved in a separate folder. It is not recommended to save to the desktop as it is easy to lose and not easy to retrieve.) |
| Item number management area: |
| From the part number display column, "part number" is the name of the circuit board to be tested. There are three buttons: save, save and apply, and delete part number. Click save to save the current product information, click save and apply to save and apply the current part number, and click delete part number to delete the current part number; |
| Product parameter setting area: |
| 1. Product information filling: Length and width refer to the size information of the circuit board to be tested, with dimensions in cm. |
| 2. "Surface area correction" is a percentage that indicates that the effective surface area of the printed board is 100%. This item is set based on the number of holes in the product. The more holes on the surface of the board, the smaller the percentage of effective area set. Surface area "is a result automatically calculated based on the above parameters. The specific relationship formula is: |
| Surface area = Length × Wide × 2 × Effective area percentage |
| |
| The regeneration process will keep the system operating at a constant temperature. When the liquid level in the water tank drops and it is necessary to re prepare the extraction liquid, the software will prompt the user that the liquid level is low. At this time, the extraction liquid should be added to prevent errors caused by insufficient extraction liquid. |
| The "Test Time" setting allows the machine to have two testing modes, automatic testing and fixed time testing. |
| Automatic mode: When the ion concentration curve is stable and unchanged, the test will automatically stop. |
| Fixed time mode: Users can set the length of testing time by themselves. The system defaults to 15 minutes and sets the time to stop testing. |
| The "testing benchmark" refers to the regeneration standard of the extraction liquid. 200 Ω is the resistance of the extraction solution when it reaches relative cleanliness, and the corresponding conductivity of the extraction solution is 0.005 μ S/cm. If the cleanliness of the extraction liquid cannot reach this benchmark, that is, the regeneration process cannot be completed, then the overall replacement of the extraction liquid should be considered based on the duration of the internal extraction liquid. Note: Regeneration display range 0.003 μ S/cm-0.005 μ S/cm is considered qualified. During the regeneration process, it reaches 0.003 μ S/cm (0.005 μ At these 2 points, the machine will automatically stop regeneration, such as within the range of 0.003 μ S/cm-0.005 μ Within S/cm, it is necessary to wait for the curve to stabilize and manually stop regeneration for 3 minutes. |
| The "testing standard" refers to the concentration of ion contamination on the surface of printed boards. The default setting is 1.56 US military level 1 μ G/cm2Users can make modifications based on actual testing standards. |
| Attention! During the testing process, the item number cannot be applied or deleted, and can only be created and saved. |
