Abstract
A method is provided for configuring an automated media dispense machine (115). A graphical display image representing a template for generating a configuration of dispensing parameters for the dispense machine (115) is presented on a display device (151). A graphic manipulation tool (137) is provided for graphically adjusting the display image. The display image is modified using the graphic manipulation tool (137) to configure the dispensing parameters for the dispense machine (115). A configuration of dispensing parameters for the dispense machine (115) is generated based on modifications to the display image.
Claims17
A method for configuring an automated media dispense machine, comprising the steps of:
- presenting a graphical display image on a display device, the graphical display image representing a first configuration of parameters for circuit board processing media dispensed from the dispense machine to an electronic circuit board;
- providing a graphic manipulation tool for graphically adjusting the display image;
- modifying the display image using the graphic manipulation tool to reconfigure the first configuration of dispensing parameters for the dispense machine;
- and
- generating a second configuration of dispensing parameters for the dispense machine based on modifications to the display image.
In a configuration system for an automated dispense machine, the configuration system including a computing device having a user interface, the user interface having a display device and an input device, a method for configuring the automated dispense machine, comprising the steps of:
- retrieving a first configuration of dispensing parameters for the automated dispense machine, the first configuration of dispensing parameters representing current tacking media dispense parameters on an electronic circuit board;
- p1 presenting a graphical display image including icons to represent the first configuration;
- providing a graphic manipulation tool for graphically adjusting the display image;
- modifying the display image using the graphic manipulation tool to reconfigure the first configuration of dispensing parameters for the dispense machine;
- and
- generating a second configuration of dispensing parameters for the dispense machine based on modifications to the display image.
A method for generating a configuration for an automated dispense machine using a computing device having a user interface, the method comprising the steps of:
- presenting, on a display device, a graphical display image of a template, having an outline of a circuit board, for generating a configuration of dispensing parameters for the automated dispense machine;
- providing a graphic manipulation tool for graphically adjusting the display image;
- modifying the display image using the graphic manipulation tool to configure the template to specify dispensing parameters for the automated dispense machine;
- and
- generating a configuration of dispensing parameters for the automated dispense machine based on modifications to the display image.
