Auto Align

ECD Homepage Help Index  Previous  Next

If sensors are placed along a line parallel to the direction of flow in a conveyorized process so they enter and exit oven zones at different times, the resulting Data Plots lag behind one another. Auto Lag automatically aligns the X-axis maximum peak values for each Data Plot so the results can be easily compared during analysis.

A Conveyor speed must be set to properly use Auto Lag. Refer to section Zone Matrix and/or Oven Configure for more information.
