Freedom³ can be programmed to work as an assembly tool on production line communicating in 
real time with VPG software. Working on line, user can see on PC display the joint to tighten (or to 
check with quality control test),the correct sequence and the status of the joint. During tightening 
on pc display is shown the torque angle curve in real time. On-line production tightening is...

Software 
To allow users to download data or communicate with PC, we developed 3 software, F3 Explorer 
(for Lab version) and SQ-Net  (for SPC version). VPG  Visual Production Guide (for PRW version) 
The minimum system requirements to install and use SQ-Net, F3 Explorer or VPG are the 
following: 
 
CPU:    Pentium II  
 
Hard Disk Space: 100 MB  
 
RAM:    128 MB  
 
Operating System: Windows 2000...

Starting 
 
 
In the following paragraphs  we will show how to start quickly to work with Freedom³. 
As explained above, there are different firmware versions available for Freedom³, in order to 
satisfy all customer needs. 
LAB: for all customer who needs to work locally with the possibility to send data results and curves 
to PC (by F3 Explorer software) . 
SPC: for all customer who needs to organize route (list of quality test or tightening program 
strategy) sent by SQ-net software organizing...

SPC mode working with SQnet 
 
 
Introduction: 
SPC is a firmware version of Freedom³ that allows user to work in remote way, programming 
Freedom³ from SQnet software. 
In SPC mode is not possible to edit programs locally (only for Lab version). 
To program Freedom³ is necessary to install SQnet or SQnet FTA (only for PRW version)  PC. 
In the next paragraphs we will show you how send/receive a route (list of test) from/to SQnet and 
how execute test.
