The Psof software was created to obtain that the real temperatures are as close as possible to the solder profile when using a machine with both top heaters with ceramic IR technology. In other cases it is not so necessary
This is a profile I use to solder medium bga as hm170, etc with an IR-pro modified.
i have your profile and i have one probleme i dont now whi not finish the profile how i have 2xx finish and is not the finish of curve ... i dont understand this i go make one photo if any here
To get this setup working for me on a windows 11 machine, I had to run a VM with Win7. After installing the USB driver from the CD, and PSoft, I then had to change both the com port settings and PSoft settings as Psoft was set to 19200 baud, but my machine handles 9600 better. On the windows side, I had to set data bit to 7, Baud to 9600, and parity to even, as well as select COM1.
it works flawlessly in the 7 environment, but my windows 10 machine refuses to see anything, and windows 11 actually shows an error for the driver, claiming it is not compatible (though it connects to the 7 VM on the 11 machine just fine!) Thank you for the files and breadcrumbs!! I hope someone else finds this info useful!
It depends on which chips you solder and with which configuration of the soldering machine. This software allows you to use the pc410 controller together with the c100 with a more user friendly configuration. If you have a soldering station with these two controllers you can benefit from it above all because you have a complete view of the profile. Obviously when setting the profile you must take into account the real power of the heaters because if you ask for too much the curve in relation to the time is not respected, this especially if you do not use air but diffuse infrared. The use of increasingly thinner bga chips and increasingly subject to distortion (rectangular cpus) requires completely different and much more precise and sophisticated soldering machines in the management of pick and place, these machines have dedicated software as you well know and are largely automated. Personally I no longer solder bga components except for some pch for various reasons.
