Programming Basics and Setup 5-5
Optional Patterns
Instead of including pattern instructions in the Workpiece Pattern, you may create additional patterns and
execute or call them from the Workpiece Pattern.
For example, if your dispensing program requires a series of dots, you may create a pattern called “Dots”
which includes the XY coordinates for the dot dispensing and call the “Dots” pattern from the
Workpiece Pattern.
Figure 5-1 shows a typical FmNT program structure. The “Dots” Pattern and the “Lines” Pattern are
optional dispensing patterns that are executed from the Workpiece Pattern.
