Note: Your company should establish a standard orientation for each device
package type (DIP, square PLCC, 32-pin PLCC, SOIC) so that all
operators insert devices correctly. All devices are inserted and handled
upside-down (also known as “dead bug”) on the 2500.
The arrows on the TaskLink screen point to the four sides of the device
(see Figure 3-7). Move the cursor using the
↑
and
↓
keys. Press
T
AB
when
you have the correct orientation highlighted for the Output
track.
TaskLink then prompts you for the Label and Input orientation fields.
Install all devices upside-down in the 2500 so that their leads are pointing
toward the ceiling (dead bug). We recommend the following default
positions for pin 1 (see Figure 3-8):
• DIP devices: Pin 1 is to the right side, closest to the input tube.
• 32-pin PLCC devices: Pin 1 is to the right side, closest to the input
tube.
• Square PLCC devices: Pin 1 is pointing to the back of the 2500.

Entering Label Text
Enter
Text
to appear on the label. The TaskLink screen may allow you to
enter more characters than will fit on the label you are using. The number
of characters per line varies, but labels are restricted to three printed lines
regardless of the label size or font selected.
TaskLink includes a set of unique character commands that you can use
to have TaskLink to print non-standard characters on your label. When
you enter the predefined sequence of characters in the text field on your
screen, TaskLink prints the special character they represent on the label.
These include:
• A time and date stamp is printed when you enter the
@
sign along
with an optional parameter (refer to the online help for a list of the
options).
• A copyright symbol is printed when a tilde (
~
) is entered.
• A serial number is printed when two or more
%
signs are entered.
• The sumcheck of RAM is printed when you enter at least two dollar
signs (
$
)
.
• The session ID is printed when two to eighteen carets (
^
) are entered.
The
Print Density
field allows you to select the font type in characters per
inch (CPI) that the labeler will use when printing your label. The 2500
defaults to
Auto Select
, which instructs the 2500 to select the optimal
character size based on the Package parameter and the amount of text
entered.
You may use the
Print Only
command in local mode to select the best
font for your label size and text length.

The
Placement
parameter (
Label placement
) controls the location of the
label on the device. TaskLink’s default is
Autocenter
(numeric value of
255 in this field), which instructs the 2500 to position the label in the center
of the device package. A placement value of 0 (zero) places the left end on
the label on the left end of the device’s leading edge. Increasing the
placement value by one moves the label 0.010 inch away from the leading
edge of the device.
Press
T
AB
to move the screen cursor over the
<OK>
pushbutton. Press
↵
to save the changes made in this dialog box. TaskLink returns to the
Edit
Task
screen.
This is the last mandatory field definition. While there may be several
other parameters that you will always change from the default setting,
the Task now has the minimum number of fields it needs to run and
process devices. It is important that you save these settings before leaving
the Task-creating portion of TaskLink.
Saving the Task
Press
T
AB
to move the screen cursor to the
<Save>
and press
↵
. TaskLink
returns to the Add Task dialog box. The new Task name and description
appear in the Task list and the cursor is in the Task Name entry field,
ready to create the next Task.
The process of creating a basic Task for a Logic device is complete when
parameters for all the mandatory fields have been entered. The Task will
run and program devices. Other non-mandatory logic parameters that
can further define the Task are described in the next section.
