Beginner and the rework station, have questions

[ck84]

hi Guys

a few days ago my first rework station (LY IR8500) arrived and now i have some questions before i try my first attempt on any scrap board.

I connected the station to the PC to see if the software works.

then I read out all the profiles from the controller.

The problem I have now is to assign the individual profiles which profile is for what, I hope someone could help me a little.

or are there finished profiles somewhere?

and what software would you recommend only from LY BGA

unfortunately it is very difficult to find something on the internet


I once took a screenshot of the profiles, maybe someone can take a look at it and possibly describe what is what

Does not make any sense to me.. i cant figure out what is for the bottom / top / board.
If you match the numbers on the machine does it then make any sense ?

It's 2 zones, the bottom being either on or off.
There are 10 default profiles, that detail the temperature and how fast it should reach it. See on the right hand side for how one looks visually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflow_soldering
