K2 thermal profiler has plug-and-play hardware and a graphical user interface said to make profiling both quick and easy. Enables each thermocouple to use its own unique process window, while optimization software automatically suggests best oven setup to process the entire PCB and components in spec. Reportedly permits oven setup in a few seconds. Profile data measured can be viewed on a PC and authorized Android and Apple mobile devices. Mobile Profile Viewer App is WiFi and Bluetooth compatible. Features fail-safe software that reduces the opportunity for error, allowing pre-set quality parameters.
