Manual Profile Prediction
The KICstart software has Manual Prediction capabilities. Manual Prediction is an option for the KICstart
software that requires a software key.
Manual Prediction gives the user the flexibility to easily predict changes to the oven settings (temperature
settings, conveyor speed), and view the results without having to spend the time actually running the
profile. This feature is very helpful to the user, minimizing the time spent fine tuning or developing a
thermal profile.
Original/Predicted set points – Manual Prediction
This is an example of how the KICstart software lists the PWI, and oven settings for the profile. This table
is divided into the original section (top), and the Predicted section (bottom).
The original values represent the oven settings at the time the profile was run. The predicted values
represent the predicted oven settings as determined by the user.
To predict changes to the oven settings, click on the zone you wish to change. In the example below, zone
1 has been selected.
Type the new temperature setting, and then press Enter. The KICstart will predict the results of that
change, and then automatically update the PWI, predicted Statistics, and the profile graph.
The new predicted results will be displayed on the graph in a dotted-line format. This format enables the
user to easily determine the difference between the original and predicted profiles.
