Articulation LLC, developer of the Reflower prototype SMT reflow oven controller, has released a new software package for managing reflow oven temperature profiles. Reflower PC application allows users to maintain an unlimited number of temperature profiles on their computer's hard disk through a series of tabbed dialogs.  The application also allows the user to control oven through a point and click user interface.

Controls a standard countertop convection oven to perform prototype and small batch surface-mount solder reflowing operations. Can control ovens rated up to 1800W or 15A and comes with a 36" bare junction thermocouple, an RS232 cable for connection to a PC and the Reflower PC application.

Using the TempTell Reflower and the techniques outlined at
