The Serial Profile Plotter For Reflow Ovens utility is a freeware application to graph temperature vs time data sent typically from a homemade reflow oven controller (eg: Arduino based) via serial port to a PC or notebook running Windows 7.
The graph generated has two vertical axis for temperature (real-time oven temp and setpoint temperature in degrees C). Horizontal axis is time (seconds).
Graphed data can be saved to disk and retrieved if needed for reference. The graph can be saved as bitmap file too.
Profile markers for lead-free and leaded solder paste can be selected for both temperature and time thresholds. An alert setting applet is included to set the markers and audible alarms to alert the user to when thresholds are reached for certain phases of the reflow process.
Color graphs can be printed in portrait or landscape modes.
Settings are automatically saved using INI file.
An ideal reflow curve can be superimposed on the graph as a reference
Features
- Reflow oven graphing for oven, setpoint temperatures vs time
- User-defined threshold presets (with alarms) for various stages of reflow phases
- Ability to save and recall telemetry data from oven
- Cursor based data check on plot which shows temperature / time at any point on graph
- Serial port interface wth selectable com port and baud rate
- Separate lead-free and leaded profiles
- Can superimpose "ideal" reflow graph on main plot as reference if desired
- Press and hold CTL while moving mouse cursor on graph to show data at any given point
- Press and hold SHIFT while moving mouse cursor on graph to show data at any given point
- New V1.01: Print plots in either Landscape or Portrait modes
