In the ACHI IR6500 community, the PSoft software is widely discussed. Users in forums often mention using PSoft as an alternative or successor to the original software. It functions similarly, allowing users to drive the bottom heater and create temperature profiles. Install the ACHI_USB_Driver manually via "Have Disk
: Before working on a valuable board, use a scrap PCB to test heating parameters. A complete heating cycle typically ends when solder balls are fully liquefied, usually about 10 seconds before the program finishes.
Many technicians use GitHub-hosted, community-made Python scripts or custom software packages. These open-source tools offer modern user interfaces, better compatibility with Windows 11, and advanced data logging features. Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Before installing the software, you must bridge the communication gap between your modern PC and the rework station. Supported Operating Systems
Thicker, multi-layered PCBs (like an Xbox 360 motherboard) act as massive heat sinks and require slower, longer preheating steps than thin laptop or smartphone boards. Save individual configuration profiles inside the software directory for instant recall.
