Just wanted to do a poll to see how others are determining their test time for Ionic testing. Test Method IPC-TM-650 number 2.3.25, section 5.3.3, says "The test time should be in accordance with the monitoring plan criteria (set time or auto- shutoff). We are using an Ionograph 500M, to monitor the effectivity of our cleaning after soldering processes. The software gives the option of doing a set time or auto-shutoff. I'd like to hear how others have determined what test time method to use, and if a set time, how long that time is, and why. Thanks in advance for your input. --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 15.0 To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 -----------------------------------------------------
