The tables only provide general guidelines as many factors influence the required settings (i.e. position of a
component/thermal mass of PCB) therefore the same component on a different board may possess very different
thermal characteristics.
For more precise information on actual temperature reached on a component and/or PCB, the Data Logging feature
in the software provides a graphical report of the temperatures reached during rework cycles.
Summary
The information in this section helps give you a very basic explanation of the system. To use the system see the next
sections of ‘Operating Procedures’.
