Angle High Limit
 - is used for Accept / Reject decision. Rundown does not pass 
if the measured final a ngle exceeds this limit. 
             Angle Target -  the target angle value 
  Angle Low Limit -  used for Accept / Reject decis ion. Rundown does not pass if 
the final angle is below this limit. 
 
Rpm Freespeed % -  specifies initial tool output-drive speed. The parameter is 
expressed as a percentage of the tool’s maximum rated speed. 
 
Rpm Downshift % -  specifies the speed of the tool...

           Linked PSet Results Reporting: 
 
The angle count is reset to 0 at the  end of each linked step of a Linked PSet 
rundown.  
 
RBR Combined with a Linked PSet Rundown Note: 
 
The RBR, RB, and RBsp,  options are only  preformed at the end of the last step 
of a Linked PSet rundown 
 
Results Reporting: 
  The results of the last PSet Step  in the group are used to report. 
 
If the trigger is released before the rundown sequence is complete, the results 
from the step that the cont roller...

2.2.2 Parameter Sets 
 
Parameter Enable - check boxes allow the user to generate up to 32 different sets of 
parameters. Each set can be used individua lly or sets can be arranged into batch 
sequence. If the box is unchecked and the param eters are sent to the controller it 
deletes the parameter set. 
   
Copy -  button allows the user to copy one set  of parameters into another. The user 
must specify the destination parameter set number. 
 
Delete -  removes parameter from overall set....

2.3 CurveWare 
In ToolWare, select   from the top menu or select 
  directly from the lower menu to open   window shown in the 
Figure 2.3. Only rundown information after most  recent Power On of the controller can be 
graphed. 
 
 
 
Figure 2.3 CurveWare example 
 
 
Max Torque - is the upper torque limit of the rundown 
 
Max Angle - is the upper angle  limit of the rundown 
 
No. of Data Points  - is the number of data points that should be used in the plot. Maximal 
number of acquired data points...

Save -
 saves data points of all curves in the plot in ASCII file. 
 
Remove - removes the currently selected plot from the graph. 
 
Receive/View -  Receive/View allows the user to choose the display features  of the graph.  
Torque  – downloads and displays torque data points. 
Angle  – downloads and disp lays angle data points.  
PSet  - displays markers indicati ng parameter set values.  
View Controls   
Pan - reposition the view in the drawing area. 
Pan/Zoom  – change magnification.

Off Delay
 - specifies how long the output signal will  be ON before turning OFF. Each of the 
8 input fields corresponds to the output field.  Example: If 200 is the value in the first field 
that the output signal for Accept  will be ON for duration of 200 mSec. If the value is 0, then 
the corresponding output will re main ON indefinitely or until the next rundown starts. 
 
Control Source  – allows user to choose the source  that controls the tool operation...

Adaptive Control
 
 
Enable - Adaptive  control is a useful option when a high CPK (Process Capability) is 
chosen as the most important variable.   This is done by adjusting the control to 
ensure the average...

Off
 - Turns adaptive control off.  The tool wi ll produce torque until the target torque is 
achieved.  Therefore, all resu lts will be equal to or greater than the target. This will 
cause the average torque to be greater t han the target torque, thus making it 
extremely difficult to produce a high CPK. 
First Ten  - Takes an average of the first ten  readings in a new parameter set and 
adjusts the control to make the average to rque correspond with the target torque.  
Therefore, there will be...

Rundown-Backoff-Rundown
 
This feature includes three modes t hat engage reverse rotation of the tool. 
 
Enable  – activates the feature. There are four  options available when the feature is 
enabled. 
 
  Rundown Backoff SP  -  Tool will rundown to selected PSet torque, reverse 
the fastener a set number of degrees defined by Back Off Degrees.  Reports 
the Torque and Angle from the rundown. 
 
   Rundown-Backoff-Rundown – Rundown to the 1
