Refer to topic Software>Page Tabs>SPC Page Tab for more information.
This is available when in Engineer Mode.
5.4.3.5. Data Run Rows
All of the data runs in the open working directory are listed on the Spreadsheet Page Tab
as individual rows. The first data run uploaded or imported into the directory is on the
bottom and the most recent data run is on the top.
When any data run row is selected, all of the cells in the entire row are highlighted in
purple and blue. The purple cells indicate that the cells can be modified and the blue cells
indicate the data cannot be modified.
When any individual data cell in a data run row is selected, all of the cells in the entire row
are highlighted in green and yellow. The green cells indicate that the cells can be modified
and the yellow cells indicate the data cannot be modified.
When a data run row is selected, the data for that row will also be displayed in the Sel=
row located at the bottom of the data run rows. This row allows the user to easily compare
the selected data row to the statistics calculations located below the selected run row.
Selected rows and columns can be “copied” by pressing keys [CTRL +
C] and then “pasted” [Ctrl + V] into other applications.
The data run rows can also be moved into any order desired. This is useful when the user
wants to place similar data runs together.
To change the order of the data run:
1) Select the number cell of a data run row with the mouse pointer. The row will then
become highlighted in purple and blue.
2) Drag the row and drop it to a desired location.
5.4.3.6. Filters

The Data Graph features are described in the sections that follow. Some of these features
are also controlled using the appropriate menu options. Refer to Software>Menu and
Tool Commands for more information.
5.4.4.2.1. Time (X) & Temperature (Y) Scales
The Data Graph displays both Time (X) and Temperature (Y) scales.
According to the type of sensor that is associated with the displayed profile,
the Temperature (Y) scale may display different a type of scale other than
Temperature .
Time (X) Scale:
The horizontal Time (X) scale displays values data points collected. The user can select
four different types of Time (X) scales. The scales are:
• Point: The data points collected from the Process-Origin.
• Time-Relative: Time measured from the Process-Origin
• Time-Absolute: Time of day
• Distance: Distance from the Process Origin (Meters, Centimeters, Feet or
Inches).
The Distance scale will not be accurate until an accurate conveyor speed is
set.
Relative Time Scale
Distance Scale
Points Scale
Absolute Time Scale
Temperature (Y) Scale:
The vertical Temperature (Y) scale displays the scale of the measured temperature.
Lower values are at the bottom and higher values at the top.
The Temperature (Y) scale includes temperature labels on the left side of the graph.
These temperatures divide the vertical scale up to four equal parts and are automatically
scaled to fit the current Temperature (Y) scale limits. These units can be displayed in
Celsius or Fahrenheit.
The amount of displayed Temperature (Y) grid lines can be changed on the
Profile tab of the Preferences dialog box. Refer to topic
Software>Menus>File>Preferences>Profile for more information.
Autoscaling:
The software includes a powerful Autoscaling option to automatically scale the Data
Graph so the data will always be visible and easy to work with.
The software automatically selects a range of values for the Temperature (Y) scale to
ensure that all the data fits on the screen. The user can change the range of temperature
values displayed by using the Manual mode. Refer to topic
Software>Menus>Profile>Temperature (Y) Scale for more information.
When the Magnify tool is used the Temperature (Y) scale will automatically
scale to the temperatures viewed in the magnified window.
The software provides different methods to view Time (X) and Temperature (Y) values of
any location on the Data Graph.
To view Time (X) & Temperature (Y) values:
• The Time (X)/Temp (Y) Readout in the Status bar continuously displays both Time
(X) and Temperature (Y) values at the location of the mouse pointer. Details of this
feature are described in topic Software>Menus>View>Status Bar.
• The Time (X) value at the position of a Time (X) Ref line is displayed in the Data
Table if a Temperature value at Time Reference calculation is loaded in the Data
Table template.
5.4.4.2.2. Data Plots
The Data Plots in the Data Graph represent the data for each of the sensors connected to
the M.O.L.E. Profiler. Each sensor is represented by a different color that corresponds to
the color of its sensor location description in the Data Table.
A Data Plot in the Data Graph can be suppressed or restored at any time by clicking the
channel check box with the corresponding sensor description in the Data Table. This
allows the user to view any combination of the Data Plots or individually.
When two or more Data Plots overlap the same values, the Data Plots
overwrite each other. For example, if the Data Plot that represents the sensor
connected to channel 5 and channel 1 have the same value, the channel 5
Data Plot will only appear unless the user suppresses it.
When printing a Data Graph in black and white, suppressing one or more Data Plots is
useful for clearing a view of a Data Plot that is obscured by others near it. The Notes tool
can also be used to help identify each Data Plot. Refer to topic
Software>Menus>Tools>Notes for more information.
5.4.4.2.3. Process Origin
The Process Origin is a gray vertical line at the left edge of the Data Graph that indicates
where the assembly process starts. When Points or Distance units are being used for the
Time (X) values, the Time (X) values to the left of the Process Origin are displayed as
negative and those to the right as positive in the Time (X)/Temp (Y) Readout.
To move the Process Origin:
1) Position the mouse pointer over the Process Origin.
2) When the mouse pointer becomes a , click and hold the left mouse button to
drag it left or right releasing the mouse button when the Time (X) Reference line is
at the desired location.
The X/Y Readout in the Status Bar indicates the true position of the Process Origin while
it is being moving. After the mouse button is released, the X-Readout changes to zero at
the Process Origin and displays negative numbers for X when the mouse pointer is
moved to the left of the Process Origin.
Reference line values are automatically adjusted when the Process
Origin is moved.
To display the distance of a conveyor process along the X-axis, adjust the Process Origin
to the data point that was recorded at the start of the conveyor process. Now set the
conveyor speed in the Oven Configure dialog box located in the Profile menu.
5.4.4.2.4. Conveyor Speed Indicator

magnified.
When the mouse pointer is placed over the conveyor speed indicator, it becomes a .
This informs the user that they can double-click the indicator to quickly change the
conveyor speed in the machine recipe.
By changing the conveyor speed from the indicator, the user is modifying the
selected machine recipe. This recipe can also be edited using the
Software>Menus>Machine>Set Machine Information command on the
Machine-Oven menu.
5.4.4.2.5. Time (X) Reference Lines
Time (X) Reference lines are colored vertical lines that indicate the Temperature (Y)
values at the intersection of a Data Plot with each line. The values in the Temperature
value at Time Reference Data Table column(s) indicate the Temperature (Y) values at
the intersection of a Data Plot with an Time (X) Reference line. The Time (Y) Reference
lines can be added to the Data Graph using the Software>Menus>Profile>Add Time
(X) Reference Lines command in the Profile menu.
The Time (X) value at the position of a Time (X) Reference line will only be
displayed in the Data Table if a Temperature value at Time Reference
calculation is loaded in the Data Table template.
5.4.4.2.6. Temperature (Y) Reference Lines
Temperature (Y) Reference lines are colored horizontal lines that are positioned within
the Temperature (Y) scale in the graph. Temperature (Y) Reference lines can be added to
the Data Graph using the Software>Menus>Profile>Set Temperature (Y) Reference
Lines command in the Profile menu.
5.4.4.2.7. MAP Data
MAP data is the Machine model, Assembly number and Process name data associated
with the displayed data run. This data is located in the upper right corner of the Data
Graph along with the data run filename. This data can be specified when creating or
modifying the Machine, Assembly and Process information
The user can turn the MAP data ON or OFF using the Show on Profile
commands located on the Machine, Assembly and Process menus.
5.4.4.2.8. M.O.L.E. Status
M.O.L.E. status information displays the Max internal temperature, Battery Voltage and
the data run Date - Time at the time the data run was performed. This information is
located in the upper right corner of the Data Graph below with the MAP Data.
The user can turn the M.O.L.E. status information ON or OFF using the Show
on Profile commands located on the M.O.L.E. and Profile menus.
5.4.4.2.9. Machine Zones
The Time (X) scale can be divided into zones that represent the machine zones in a
process defined in units of length or time. Zones can be specified editing or creating a
new machine model. Refer to topic Software>Menus>Machine>Set Machine
Information or Create new Machine for more information.
To display defined zones along the Time (X) scale, select the Show on Profile command
on the Machine menu. When zones are displayed, they appear as Magenta and Blue
colored lines along the bottom of the data graph and as dotted vertical lines that extend
top to bottom. The Magenta zones indicate heating and Blue zones indicate cooling. The
first zone begins at the Process Origin. When the Process Origin is moved, the zones
move with it.
When importing SMG SPC (.MDM) files, the machine zones remain the same
zone colors as specified in the original (.MDM) file. If the user edits the
imported machine zones, or applies a defined machine to the data run the
zone colors will be updated Magenta and Blue.
5.4.4.2.10. Machine Zone Temperatures
For each defined zone, two zone temperatures can be established using the Set
Machine Recipe command on the Machine menu. These temperatures might be upper
and lower boundaries for the acceptable range of values in that zone or they might
represent the settings of upper and lower heating elements in a process.
Zone Temperature Lines appear in the Data Graph as colored bars at the temperature set
for each zone. (Zone Temperatures can be displayed only after zone sizes are defined).
Upper Zone Temperature Lines appear in the Data graph as solid colored bars and the
lower Zone Temperature Lines are dashed.

displayed or press the [ESC] key to remove them all at one time. Also,
selecting a different page tab refreshes the Data Graph.
5.4.4.4. Target 10-OK
Target 10-OK is a simple yet powerful way to achieve the pursuit of the perfect profile.
The user specifies requirements for the profile initial slope, soak, TAL (time above
liquidous), peak parameter and the channels that these requirements are to be applied.
Then the software automatically calculates a single go/no-go number.
A Target 10 specification is created using the Create Target 10 Specification workflow
wizard. Refer to topic Menus>Wizards Menu>Create Target 10 Specification for more
information.
The features associated with Target 10-OK can only be used when in
Engineer mode. They can only be viewed when in Verify mode.
Target 10-OK feature allows the user to answer the following questions:
1) How do I specify a good profile?
• Answer: Based on the selected process specification and specification limits, the
user can set the four process parameters (Initial slope, Soak, TAL & Peak).
2) How do I know I have a good profile?
• Answer: Based on the specified settings, the active individual parameter indicators
(Slope, Soak, TAL & Peak) display the normalized values. Once Target 10-OK
numbers are calculated, they reduce the evaluation of the displayed data run
profile to a single number. This number appears in a two state (Red-Green)
indicator with the worst condition number appearing in the Final Indicator symbol.
A score of less than 0.0 is bad, 0.0-5.0 is good, 5.1-9.9 better and 10.0 being the
perfect score.
3) How can I improve the profile?
• Answer: Using the Prediction Tool, the user can change zone temperature values
or the conveyor speed and adjust the outcome toward a perfect 10.0.
Target 10-OK features:
Process Parameters: Initial slope, Soak, TAL & Peak parameters derived from
the associated paste for the currently selected data run.
Limit Adjustment: Upper and lower specification limits from the selected process
for each parameter. The user can adjust these as needed to meet their
requirements.
Parameter Values: Actual values derived from the current data run.
Normalized Values: Parameter values in the data run converted to a single
number based on a 0-10 scale. The software takes the parameter value then
determines where it is in respect to the upper and lower specification limits. If the
actual parameter value is in the exact center of the specification limits the
normalized value will be a perfect 10.0.
Example: The Peak Temperature has an upper limit of 240.0°C and a lower
limit of 195.0°C. The software subtracts the upper limit (240.0°C) from the
lower limit (195.0°C) equaling (45°C). Then the software creates a 0-10 scale
by dividing the 45°C by 20 equaling a scale of 1 point for every 2.25°C.
If the actual parameter value for channel 1 is 210.0°C. The software then
determine where that value lands on the 0-10 scale. In this case it is 15°C
higher than the lower limit so the software divides the 15°C by the scale value
of 2.25°C which equals at 6.7 on the scale.
Worst Condition: Once all of the Target 10-OK numbers are calculated into
normalized values, the software reduces the evaluation of the displayed data run
profile to a single worst condition number for each process parameter.
Individual Parameter Indicators: These are individual visual indicators of the
worst condition number for each process parameter. The user can click these
indicators to launch the detail dialog box where they can visually analyze the worst
condition number for each channel.
Final Indicator Symbol: This is a two state (Red-Green) indicator that displays
the worst condition number out of the four process parameters. This indicator can
also be displayed on the data graph for easy identification in an manufacturing
environment. To display click the Final Indicator Symbol to toggle the data graph.
To restore the Individual Parameter Indicators select the symbol again or
single-click anywhere within the data graph.
The Target 10-OK tab also indicates the go/no-go state by appearing in
GREEN or RED. This is useful when the user is viewing the KPI tab so they
can immediately know the Target 10-OK status of the displayed data run.
Show button: The user can select this button to display or hide various Target
10-OK features.
Target 10 Specification File Management: This area includes Load and Save
Target 10 buttons to load and save Target 10 specification files (*.T10). The Load
button is used to load a saved Target 10 specification file which is displayed on the
Data Graph. This typically is used to determine if different Target 10 specification
may be a better match with the currently displayed data run. The Save button is
used to save a Target 10 specification if any adjustments have been made, or
creating a new one based off of an existing Target 10 specification.
If a different Target 10 specification is saved with a data run, it does not affect
the original Target 10 specification associated with the data run when using
the OK button on the MEGAM.O.L.E.® or V-M.O.L.E.® profilers.
Assembly Image: This is a thumbnail image of the assembly product associated
with the currently displayed data run. To view the sensor locations, right-click over
the image and select the Enlarge command. When in Engineer mode the user
has the ability to set the sensor locations. When in Verify mode, the sensor
locations can only be viewed.
