Programming Setup
Before you begin programming sessions, it is recommended that you perform a Prompted
Setup procedure in addition to the Calculate Master Offsets or Valve Offsets procedure.
Also, before creating a dispensing program, you should visit the Configuration menu to setup
your workpiece and fluid file, which is used to keep track of fluid characteristics and
statistics.
Fluid Files
Fluid files record information about the dispensing fluids used in your programs. If all of your
dispensing programs use the same fluid, you can attach the same fluid file to all of the
programs. However, a different fluid file should be created for each type of fluid used. Fluid
files are stored in the Fluid folder under the FMW root directory as <filename>.flu
files.
?NOTE Remember, if you attach a single fluid file to more than one dispensing
program, changing the fluid file will affect all of the dispensing programs to
which it is attached.
