2.2.1  Parameter Entry Fields 
Strategy  - Select one of four fastening strategy options . 
o  Tc  - Torque Control  strategy uses torque as the only control parameter. The 
Tool stops when Tq Target  is reached. Rundown  is considered to be 
successful ( Accept) if  the  final torque value falls within the  range specified by 
Tq High Limit  and  Tq Low Limit  parameters.  
o  Tc-Am  - Torque Control /Angle Monitoring  strategy is convenient for  
detection of cross threaded or stripped fasteners....

 15 
Angle High Limit - is used for Accept / Reject  decision. Rundown does not pass 
if the measured final angle exceeds this limit.  
             
Angle Target  - the  target angle value  
  Angle Low Limit  - used for  Accept / Reject  decision. Rundown does not pass if 
the final angle  is below this limit.  
 
Rpm Freespeed %  - specifies  initial  tool output -drive  speed. The parameter is 
expressed as a percentage of the tool ’s maxim um rated  speed. 
 
Rpm Downshift  %  - specifies  the...

           Linked PSet Results Reporting:  
  The angle count is reset to 0 at the end of each linked step of a Linked PSet  
rundown.   
  RBR Combined with a  Linked PSet Rundown  Note: 
 
The RBR, RB, and RBsp,   options are only preformed at the end of the last step 
of a  Linked PSet  rundown  
  Results Reporting:  
  The results of the last  PSet Step in the group are used to report.  
 
If the trigger is released before the rundown sequence is complete, the results 
from the step that the...

2.2.2 Parameter Sets  
 
Parameter Enable -  check boxes allow the user to generate up to 32  different  sets of 
parameters. Each set can be used individually  or sets can be arranged into batch 
sequence.  If the box is unchecked and the parameters are sent to the controller it 
deletes the parameter set.  
   
Copy  - button allows  the user to  copy one set of parameters into another. The user 
must specify the des tination parameter  set number.  
 
Delete -  removes parameter from overall set....

2.3 CurveWare  
In ToolWare , select   from the top menu or select 
< CurveWare>  directly from the lower menu to open < CurveWare> window shown in the 
Figure 2. 3. Only  rundown  information after most recent Power On of the controller can be 
graphed . 
 
 
 
Figure 2.3 CurveWare  example  
 
 
Max Torque  -  is the upper torque  limit of the rundown 
 
Max Angle  - is the upper angle limit of the rundown 
 
No. of Data Points  -  is the number of data points that should be used in the plot ....
