- lev. Number of the placement level (number between 1 ... 9999, # = level 0)
NOTE
If, for example, components of extremely varying heights are to be placed very closely next to one
another, it is necessary to define a placement sequence with the aid of placement levels in order to
avoid problems during the placement process. However, at present such a placement sequence is
only defined with respect to components that need to be placed with the IC head.
The level numbers entered determine the sequence in which the placement positions will be pro-
cessed. The placements will be processed in accordance with the level numbers, in an ascending
order.
Placement positions that were assigned the same level, will be processed within that level in any
order whatever.
Placement positions that were not assigned any specific level may be processed at any level.
Placement positions to which placement level 0 (#) has been assigned are processed before
all other
placement positions with different placement levels.
- Max. 9999 placement levels can be assigned.
- Every placement position can be assigned one level.
- Any one level can be assigned several placement positions.
- The levels do not need to be numbered consecutively.
- fiducial set Name of fiducial set (max. 11 characters; # = no fiducial set)
- Comment freely selectable, e.g. component type
PROCEDURE to be followed for editing:
- Editing
Position mouse cursor in the editing area and make entries from the keyboard.
A space must be left between entries of individual columns.
Finish the completed input line with RETURN.
After completing the entries, click on the icon in the command area (see Fig. 8.1.11).
The individual entries are now checked and placed in the corresponding columns.
If an incorrect entry has been made, the entire editing area is surrounded by a red frame and an
error message is displayed on the screen.
If applicable, confirm the error message by clicking on OK.
The dialog box is closed and the cursor is automatically positioned, within the editing area, at the
location of the incorrect entry.
- Copying entries in the Placement Position Editor within one and the same window or to another open
Placement Position Editor window.
Hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse cursor over the entries to be copied (exa-
ctly to the end of the last character) and then release the mouse button.
The lines concerned now darken.
Hold down the center mouse button and position the cursor to the position in the editing area of
the respective window of the Placement Position Editor where the lines are to be inserted and
then release the mouse button.
The copied entries are now displayed.

Procedures to be followed for the searching and replacing of character strings
In the setting area, activate the button with the desired search direction by clicking on it (see Fig.

Enter new character string in the "Replace with:" editing field if the character string entered in the
"Find what:" editing field is to be replaced.
Click on the Search button in the command area.
The first occurrence of the character strings searched for appears darkened in the editing area of
the Placement Position Editor window. Clicking on the button again, causes the subsequent
occurrence of the character string within the given search area to be highlighted.
Click on the Replace button in the command area.
The highlighted character string is replaced with the character string entered in the "Replace
with:" editing field and subsequently the next character string found in the search area is automa-
