8 New Functionality

8.1 Software Version 503.01

8.1.1 Placing 0201 Components

8.1.1.1 Purpose

For Typ 0201 components, solid-state pick-up has been implemented in order to minimize

pick-up errors. 8

8.1.1.2 Description

NOTE

Please refer to the Placing 0201 Components User Manual for a detailed description. 8

8.1.2 Component Sensor

8.1.2.1 Purpose

In addition to the vacuum check as Component presence control respectively, a Component sen-

sor has been introduced to function as an added optical control. This ensures that a on edge pi-

cked-up

component with varying component height and width is recognized. 8

8.1.2.2 Description

NOTE:

Please refer to the Online Help and the Component Sensor Operating Guide for a detailed de-

scription. 8

8.1.3 Synchronous Dual Transport

8.1.3.1 Purpose

Synchronous dual transport allows you to treat printed circuit boards that simultaneously

engage on both transport input conveyors as a logical printed board. This serves the purpose to

increase the transfer rate for cluster which requires a different pipette configuration. 8

8.1.3.2 Description

NOTE:

Please refer to the UNIX Line Computer Operating Guide and the Software Guide for the

respective machine for a detailed description. 8

8.1.4 Synchronous Restart

8.1.4.1 Purpose

If the connection between line computer and station is disrupted during running operation,

a dialog containing the corresponding information is displayed. After reboot of the line computer

under a running station, the communication between line computer and station is resumed,

and the dialog closes automatically. 8

8.1.5 Description

NOTE:

Please refer to the UNIX Line Computer Operating Guide and the Online Help for a detailed

9 Software installation

9.1 General definitions

9.1.1 Initial installation

The first time the station software is installed on the computer system of a SIPLACE machine is

known as the „initial installation“. During this installation the following items are installed on the

hard disk of the station computer: The individual software components for the „SC“ (station com-

puter) and „MC“ (machine controller), and also sample machine data. 9

9.1.2 Update

If an initial installation has already been carried out, and you subsequently wish to install a later

version of the station software, this process is known as an "Update". The update process does

not overwrite the saved machine data!

You are able to tell which version of the software you have by looking at the last two characters of

the software version.

Example

SR.503.01 SR = System components 503 = Version number 01 = Release status

(station computer)

NOTE

Software versions which have later release numbers are versions where errors have been cor-

rected. In terms of function, these versions are NOT different to older release versions and are in

principle compatible. 9

9.1.3 Upgrade

The installation of a software version with a version number higher than the existing, installed

version is known as an „Upgrade“.

When upgrading, the machine data is maintained and is automatically converted to the new data

format.

The range of functions of the station software is identified by the three-figure number (version

number) which gives the complete software version identification.

Example

SR.503.xx 503 = Version number Identifies the range of functions of the software.
