Main notions
This chapter presents the main notions that are introduced in Vision2008/Vision2009.

System name
The system name corresponds to a referential used for the definition of the models in the library. A system contains
common family names and orientation.
For example, the “VIT” system is using JEDEC standard names and a 0° orientation is set when the wider dimension of
the object is horizontal.

Reference library

A reference library is a library that is considered by the customer as a reference because it contains useful model
families for a given system and acquisition head.
A library becomes a reference library when it is added to the Reference library table.
Only one library with the same system name and acquisition head can be added to the Reference library Table.

Correspondence table

The correspondence table stores the links between customer part numbers and the model families present in the
referenced libraries defined by the customer.

Model family
Component and ID code (DataMatrix & Barcode) models are now gathered into model families that contain these
common properties:
- the package type family and sub-family
- The body size and pad positions
- The tolerances

The paste, skip, fiducial and text models are still presented alone and are not gathered into model families.

New image file formats

Several kinds of image files are used in Vision2008 that contain different information:
- OIS files (Object Image Sample) : these files contain the images corresponding to all the light levels used in
the zone, the real position of the component in the image, the acquisition context (acquisition head used,
lighting level settings and additional information) and the expected defect list (only if the OIS has been
acquired in production).
- OTR files (Object Test Record) for components, paste pad or text. This is equivalent to an OIS file containing
model information. These files replace the former .dbg files.
- VBI files (ViT Benchmark Image): corresponding to an OIS file with certified expected results.
If the colour image creation feature is activated (for I-Lite machines only), then the OIS created for the defective
components during the inspection process will contain 5 images corresponding to the 5 light levels and a colour image.

DefectViewer

The DefectViewer is a new application that replaces the former Repair application.
The goal of this new application is to:
- be able to diagnose individual defects
- make it easier to identify the defect location
- provide a more attractive GUI and image display, using colour images

5 Define the lighting offsets

With Vision2009, it is necessary to have the lighting offsets defined in the ViHardwareConfiguration_xxxx.ini file.
Different methods can be used to set these parameters:
• In case of a first installation of Vision2009

To define the lighting offsets for the machine, please use the INSTALL VISION2007R ON PILOT MACHINE [Link]
procedure.

Then input the lighting offsets in the ViHardwareConfiguration_xxxx.ini file, in the following section:
[iodriver_2]
Error Offset=lightType1=0|lightType2=0|lightType3=0|lightType4=0

• In case Vision2009 has already been installed and configured on the machine
The lighting offsets have already been set in the ViHardwareConfiguration_xxxx.ini file corresponding to the previous
software version.
You can then either:
• Extract manually the lighting offsets from the ViHardwareConfiguration_xxxx.ini file corresponding to the
previous version and then input them in the ViHardwareConfiguration_xxxx.ini file located on the
C:/VIT/Config folder.

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 14 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

• Use the “Import parameters” feature of the VisionSetup to import automatically the lighting offsets set in the
ViHardwareConfiguration_xxxx.ini file corresponding to the previous version. Please check chapter 2.5 for
more details.

6 Calibrate the machine

Once the software is installed, and lighting offsets are correctly configured, the calibration must be re-
done. Automatic calibration procedures have been introduced in Vision 2009.

1. Automatic Grey level calibration

An automatic grey level calibration has been introduced in this version. It is recommended for all heads, except for
those using the Hitachi KPF100 camera.

By default, the Automatic grey level calibration mode is selected.

The type of calibration used (manual or automatic) is configurable in the [Grey calibration] section of the
[Link] file.
[Grey calibration]
Adjustment parameter (0: lens aperture, 1: light power command) // 0 = manual calibration active
// 1 = auto calibration active

When a grey level calibration is made, do not open the diaphragm even if measures seem to
be incorrect.
Try first to click on “Auto Calibration” button: the calibration should pass.

2. Automatic focus calibration

By default, the Automatic focus calibration mode is selected.
Please check the calibration document for a complete step by step procedure.

Chapter 3: Use of existing .tst files and libraries

The .tst files created with previous versions of Vision software can be used directly with Vision2009.

However, the library files created with Vision2006 or Vision2007 must be converted to the Vision2008 format. This
operation is done automatically when a library with a previous format is opened by the Vision2009 application.

Once converted the new library folder contains:

- a subfolder for each model family available
- a library .bm file

The converted library is saved during the conversion process. Its folder is renamed adding the extension “.backup” and
the end of the initial name.

Once the library file has been converted to the Vision2008 format, the .tst and linked library can be used in debug
mode or production mode as before.

1 Opening a Release K library file

When a Release K library file (created with a version anterior to [Link]) is opened using the File/Open menu, a
message appears to warn the user that the library must be converted to be used with Vision2009.

Click on the « Yes » button:

- The backup of the library is created.
- The Library information appears. Fill in useful information about the library:

- The system name

- The acquisition head type of the machine being used.
- The Release K library file is then converted to
Vision2008 format. The conversion process may take
a few minutes.

The conversion of very large Release K libraries may use a lot of memory and last several
minutes.

The system name corresponds to the referential used for the definition of the models in the library:
common family names and orientation.

For example, the “VIT” system is using JEDEC standard names and a 0° orientation is set when the
wider dimension of the object is horizontal.

Now, the Lighting settings that should be used with a library are saved with it. They are accessible
in the new library property window.

By default, they correspond to the default settings defined for the acquisition head associated to the
library.

 Vision2009 user guide

2 Opening a Vision2007 library file

When Vision2007 library file is opened using the File/Open menu, a message appears to warn the user that the library
must be converted to be used with Vision2009.

Click on the « Yes » button

- The backup of the library is created.
- The Library information appears. Fill in useful information about the library:

- The system name

- The acquisition head type of the machine being
used.

- The Vision2007 library file is then converted to Vision2008 format.

The conversion of Vision2007 libraries may take a few minutes.

3 Opening a .tst file

When opening a .tst file and linking it to a library with Vision2008 format, the Library Lighting settings window appears
so that one can set whether or not the lighting settings that are used with the linked library should be applied to the
.tst file.

4 Library lighting settings

Once the library has been converted to the Vision2008 format, the following window appears to select how the library
lightings should be propagated to the existing
zones.

- If the user clicks on the “No” button: the zones lightings are not modified.

- If the user clicks on the “Yes” button with no checkbox checked: the lighting of the standard zones (except all
protected zones) will be replaced by the library lightings.

- If “Update protected zones” is checked and the user clicks on the “Yes” button: the lightings of all the zones
(standard + protected) will be replaced by the library lightings.

- If “Destroy useless joker zones” is checked and the user clicks on the “Yes” button: all the joker zones from
the .tst files that are not set as recommended joker zones in the library are removed.

The protection will be removed from the protected zones.

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 22 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

The recommended use of a joker zone/centered zone is defined in the library, in the Model
family edition window, under the “Properties” tab.

- If “Create joker and centered zones according to linked library” is checked and the user clicks on the “Yes”
button: joker and centered zones will be created in the .tst file according to the recommended joker and
centered zones defined in the library.
The library lightings will be applied to these zones. If specific lightings have been defined in the library for the
recommended joker zones, they will be applied to the created joker zones.

5 Treatments update
During the library conversion process, the fiducial model treatments will be modified as follow:
- If a Blob or another treatment is used as treatment 1 in a fiducial model, then this treatment will be
automatically converted into a Vi-Pro treatment. Because the Vi-Pro parameters are not set, this Vi-Pro
treatment is set to a Deactivated state.
- If a Blob or another treatment was used as treatment 2 (or more) in a fiducial model and Vi-Pro was used as
treatment 1, then the Vi-Pro treatment is kept unmodified, while the other treatment is deleted.

1. What is new in Vision2009

In Vision2007, Matchmaker was managed with the standard VIT Library. The links between the standard JEDEC and
the Customer JEDEC were saved in a database. These links could also be imported from .lk files.

From Vision2008, the customer can use its own referenced libraries. Matchmaker is now connected to a
correspondence table (see paragraph 3), which stores the links between customer part numbers and the model
families present in the referenced libraries.

This table can be filled either by:

- the TST Wizard,
- The import of .lk files with [Link] application
- The import of (.VBI) files in [Link]

The reference libraries define the contents of the Model database. If a library is set as a reference, information are
then stored in database. Therefore, all modifications in referenced libraries need to be updated in the database using
the “Synchronize” or “Synchronize all” buttons.

2. The “TST Wizard – Link between CAD file and library” window display
The “TST Wizard - Link between CAD file and library” window is accessed either by:
- Creating a new TST file using the TST wizard,
- Going to menu editor\model while an existing TST file is displayed.

The following columns are available:

A: Part numbers extracted from the .VIS file

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 25 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

B: Customer JEDECs, which can be modified by double clicking on it

C: Check lines that have to be completed by Matchmaker. You may check/uncheck each line or check/uncheck all
by ticking the main grey line.
D: Model family to import from reference or customer libraries: a list box show the correspondence found and
the matching models
The family name is composed with system name – model family name
If the model belongs to the already existing library, then its name will be composed with:
Customer Library - model family name
E: Angle that will be used to apply the selected model (0, 90°, 180°, 270°).
This information will be set in the model family “Model orientation compare to family” section
F: Acquisition head for the selected model family

3. Define the model families to import

- If the model is already in the customer library or correspondence PN<-> model family is already
known:
o If you fill an existing library, some models are already present in the library. By default, the models
in customer library are set in listbox prefixed by “Customer Library”
o If there is a known correspondence between the Part Number and a model family : it appears in the
listbox, prefixed by the system name

- Direct import from referenced libraries:

o Double click on a line on the “TST wizard – Link between CAD file and library” table: a window
appears.

o In this window, all the available model families from the reference libraries are sorted by system,
model family and acquisition head.

o Select the model family that must be imported into the new library

4. MatchMaker
The behaviour of MatchMaker in Vision2007 is fully described in Vision2007 User Manual.
Only the main evolutions brought by Vision2008 are presented here.

Matchmaker button becomes available if at least one Part Number is ticked to find its corresponding model, and if the
model table settings have been correctly set.

Here are the main modifications made in Vision2008:

- The standard library is not used anymore
- The type/sub type proposed here come from the Correspondence table. The list of package types
proposed correspond to the package types found in the referenced libraries or in the customer
library.

These package types have to be defined correctly in the referenced libraries.

The customer can define his own package.

- The search for corresponding models has become a search for corresponding model families
- The models are searched into the model families of the referenced libraries (using all the information
contained in the table of correspondence (i.e. model database)
- The grid model selection gives the score for each model: the customer can then select which model
family he wants to import into its new library.

When going back to the “TST wizard – Link between CAD file and library” window, the models defined in Matchmaker
are displayed in the “Import” column.

5. Missing treatments
Once the models families to import are selected, if some customer JEDEC does not have any corresponding model
family, the next step of the TST wizard will create missing treatments in the new library.

3 Model correspondence table

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 27 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

The Model Correspondence table configuration window opens when going to the menu Tools/Model Database.

This table lists all the libraries that are defined as reference libraries.

Once listed in this Reference library Table, the reference libraries can be used to create useful links between the
models.

1. Database settings
The model correspondence table is built on a database attached to a server. The Model Database Settings window
helps to specify the connection parameters for this server.

- First, the name of the MS-SQL server used should be selected in the list. “(local)” can be used if the server is
installed locally on the machine.
- Then, enter the user and password identifiers to log in to the server.
- Once this information is correctly filled in all the Databases available on the selected server should be listed in
the Database list box.
- Select a database from the list, then click on the OK button.

Once the Model database window closes it returns to the “Model correspondence table configuration” window.

2. Reference Library Table operations

Several operations can be performed on the Reference Library Table:

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 28 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

- Add: a reference library with given system and acquisition head parameters can be added to the table by
clicking on the “Add” button.
- Modify: The reference library listed for a given system and acquisition head can be changed by clicking on the
“Modify” button
- Synchronize: when a modification has been made to the selected reference library for Vision2008, clicking on
the “Synchronize” button allows updating of the database with the latest modifications.
- Synchronize all: when a modification has been made to one or several reference libraries for Vision2008,
clicking on the “Synchronize all” button allows updating of the database with the latest modifications made to
all of the listed reference libraries.
- Default system: a reference library can be set as the default system to which VBI files will be imported with
the Import function.
- Remove: a reference library can be removed from the Reference Library table and the database by clicking on
the “Remove” button.
A confirmation message will appear with details about the use of this reference library:
o If the reference library is said to be used by other computers, then its models will not be removed
from the database
o If the reference library is said NOT to be used by other computers, all the models will be removed
from the database.

Shared libraries can also be listed as reference libraries.

Chapter 6: Image files creation

Several types of image files are used in Vision2009 that contain different information:
- OIS files (Object Image Sample) : these contain the images corresponding to all the light levels used in the
zone, the real position of the component in the image, the acquisition context (acquisition head used, lighting
level settings and additional information) and the expected defect list (if the OIS has been acquired in
production only).
- OTR files (Object Test Record) for components, paste pad or text. This is equivalent to an OIS file containing
model information. These replace .dbg files.
- VBI files (ViT Benchmark Image): corresponding to an OIS file with certified expected results.

1 Creation of OIS files

The OIS files can be recorded from:
- a PIR file (Panel Image Recording file, formerly AFT)
- process mode
- production mode

To record OIS files in process mode, a .tst file should be open. The corresponding panel should be loaded.

1. OIS file recording in process mode

The OIS recording settings screen can be opened by clicking on the “Record OIS” button from the toolbar:

Then, the following parameters should be

set:

Chapter 7: Image file management

Image file management is done in the ViTImageManager application which is installed in the C:\VIT\ folder by the
Vision2009 setup package.

In the ViTImageManager application, several operations can be performed on the recorded OIS & OTR files:
- Search for image files (OIS/OTR/VBI)
- Transform OIS files into certified VBI files
- Import external VBI files
- Edit OIS/VBI properties
- View the coverage report of VBI files
- Copy/Move/Delete/Export files

1 ViTImageManager display

The ViTImageManager application contains 3 main features:

- The Image File Viewer - allows the user to view an OIS/VBI
image file and its properties
- The Image File Manager, where several operations can be
performed: certify, copy, import, export, delete …
- Models database access, where the parameters for the database
connection can be set.

2 The Image File Viewer

When clicking on the Image File Viewer button, an “Open a file” dialog box appears which allows the user to select one
or more files to view.
By default, only OIS files can be selected. To view VBI/OTR files the desired file type should be set to “All ViT files”.

Select the OIS/OTR/VBI file to view and then click on the Open button: The Visualization screen appears.

The image File Viewer will be launched automatically when double clicking on a image
file from Windows Explorer, as soon as it is defined as the default application to use to
open the corresponding image files extensions.

- The properties: summary of the main information for this object (model family used, part number, object CAD
orientation)
- Additional properties: clicking on this button opens an external window that sums up the detailed information
for this object (light level, type/color of the PCB…)
- Component position: this zone described the variation between the expected object position and the real
object position, for x, y and theta.
- Defects list: describes the type of defect found on this object: presence, polarity, joint, bridge, position.
The “Preset” list box indicates who gave the sanction for the defects list (it can be AOI sanctioned, operator sanctioned
(from DefectViewer) or have no sanction if the OIS does not come from the production mode).

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 45 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

If the OIS file has been recorded from a known good panel the message “Certified good panel” will appear in the
Defect list area to give the panel status information to the user.

Even if this OIS has been recorded from a known good panel, it has not been transformed
automatically into a certified VBI file because position error or position deviation may exist for this
object.

If the OIS file has been recorded from an empty panel, the message “Empty panel” will appear in the Defect list area
to give the panel status information to the user.
- Optional user information: provides an opportunity for the user to add more information about this object
(position error type)
- Image zone: the main image and the 5 images corresponding to the various light levels are displayed.
Several operations are possible on the main image. These operations are described in the chapters 6-3-4 and
6-3-5.
- File management zone: information about the displayed image file and navigation controls for the selected
image files.

2. Visualization window operations

The following actions can be executed from the Visualization window:

- Navigate through the selected image files using “Previous” and “Next” buttons
- Extract simple images from the selected image file using the “Extract images” button: 5 images
corresponding to the 5 light levels will be created.
- Modify the scale of the main picture and move the main picture in the image zone (see chapter 6-3 for the
presentation of all available operations)
- Edit the additional properties using the “Additional properties” button

3. OIS & VBI properties

The OIS properties window presents information about the OIS

creation: the creation date, the type of acquisition head with
which it was recorded, the object’s reference designator, the
PCB type and color, the lighting settings and zone settings.

The operator sanction is also present which describes the result

of the operator analysis from the DefectViewer (formerly Repair
Station); in this case, the edited OIS was created during
production.

- VBI properties window

The VBI properties window presents information about

the OIS creation: the creation date, the type of
acquisition head with which it was recorded, the object’s
reference designator, the PCB type and color, the lighting
settings and zone settings.

The expected result is the result of the certification

analysis made on the Certification screen when the OIS
was transformed into VBI.

The dx, dy and dt fields show the deviation between the

real object position and the expected object position.

If checked, the checkboxes indicate presence, polarity,

joint, bridge and/or position error(s).

- The defects list: In this zone, the component defects are listed and can be modified.

For specific OIS recorded from a specific panel (known good

panel or empty panel), special messages will be displayed to
indicate the specific status of the panel:

- “Certified good panel” is displayed if the OIS/VBI file was

recorded on a known good panel.

- “Empty panel” is displayed if the VBI file was recorded on

an empty panel.

The possible defects are:

These “certified good panel” and “Empty panel” messages are displayed only to remind the
user of the status of the panel from which the image files were recorded.

They have no effect on the defects list.

- Presence error (missing)

- Polarity error

- Joint error

- Bridge error

Joint errors and bridge errors can be configured by clicking on the “Set” button: the Joint Errors / Bridge Errors

- Optional user information: in this zone additional information can be displayed about the component:
- Additional info: in the field “Additional info” the user can
select the comment he wants to add to the component from
an exhaustive list (Tombstone, Out of area, Pillow, Bill-board,
Flipped, Lifted lead, Other component).
This comment is only indicative and will appear as information
in the coverage report.

- Flag for position error: the user can use this flag if he
determines that the component has a position error or angle
error.
The position/angle error can then be classified according to
different IPC levels (IPC1, IPC2, IPC3)

Once all the information about component position and component defect are correct, clicking on the “Certify” button
will transform this OIS/OTR image file into a certified VBI file.

The “Certified” icon appears in the Certification window.

6. The VBI importation window

The VBI importation window appears after selecting a VBI file in the Results table and clicking on the “Import” button.
A target directory must be specified and a system should be set as the Default system (see chapter 4 of this section).

The VBI importation window is composed of three main parts:

- the original file section:

This contains useful information about the original VBI file (package type, sub type, model family name, CAD
system used, the geometrical description and the CAD orientation of the component).

- the imported file section:

This should contain the corresponding information for the new CAD system.

If the fields are not automatically filled in, the user can select from the list the package type family and package
type subfamily corresponding to his system.
If the user does not know the corresponding family name on his system he can search for a family name based on
the geometric description using the “Search” button.

Selecting one model family in the search results list will display its framework. Then, an adjustment to the CAD
orientation may be necessary: this can be done in the “CAD orientation” field below.

- the image zone:

This contains the main image to which the operations described previously in chapter 2-3 can be applied. 5
thumbnails corresponding to the available light levels are also present here.
Once all the Imported file fields are filled in, clicking on the “Import” button will import a VBI adapted to the new
system.

If the geometric description of the component in the original VBI file is not known, the user may
have to specifiy the body size and number of leads in order to use the “Search” feature.
The body size can be measured using the “Measure body” button.

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 55 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

The Auto Import known packages feature will help to more quickly import the VBI for which a
correspondence has been established between the initial and destination systems.

4 Models database access

The model correspondence table is built on a database attached to a server. The Model Database Settings window
helps to specify the connection parameters for this server.

- First, the name of the MS-SQL server used should be selected in the list. “(local)” can be used if the server is
installed locally on the machine.
- Then, enter the user and password identifiers to log in to the server.
- Once this information is correctly filled in all the Databases available on the selected server should be listed in
the Database list box.
- Select a database from the list, then click on the OK button.

Once the Model database window closes it returns to the “VitImageManager” window.

Chapter 8: LibraryPro

LibraryPro is a new feature used to test the performance of a library. It is divided into 3 main steps:
- The creation of a table of images including known defects, empty boards, and good components
- The execution of the library using this table of images
- The generation of a report on the performance of the library concerning:
o The risk of false defects
o The risk of a wrong detection
o The model accuracy

1 LibraryPro execution

1. LibraryPro execution from the library toolbar

The LibraryPro feature can be executed from the new library by clicking on the following button on the toolbar:

The “LibraryPro run” window opens. In this window, the user can select the VBI files against which he will test his
library.

- Selection of parts: In this zone, the user can select which portions of the library should be tested. By default, the
whole library is tested, but the user can select specific families to test.
- Run parameters: when set, this checkbox enables testing of joints and bridges. If the image file has been acquired
during pre-reflow, the joint and bridge tests will be automatically disabled.
- VBI choice: in this zone the user can select which VBI files are used to test his library:
o The VBI root: contains the path to the folder where the selected VBI files are stored.
o The library can be evaluated for the Pre reflow process, the Post reflow process, or both.
o Expert filter: several fields can be specified to narrow the number of VBI files used to test the library.

2. LibraryPro execution from the contextual menu

The LibraryPro feature can also be executed on a single model family. To launch it:

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 57 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

- Select a model family from the library

- Click right: the contextual menu appears
- Select “Launch report on selected family”
- The “LibraryPro run” window appears.

LibraryPro will be executed only on the selected model family.

Only the VBI choice field described in chapter one remains.

2 LibraryPro report

The LibraryPro report appears after LibraryPro execution has been launched on the whole library or on a given model
family.

1. LibraryPro report display

The LibraryPro report window is composed of several parts:
- a toolbar (A)
- the execution conditions and results summary (B)
- a detailed view of the results (C)

2. LibraryPro report toolbar

Several operations can be performed from the LibraryPro report toolbar:

- The Configuration screen can be opened by clicking on the following button on the toolbar:

In this Configuration window, the following parameters can be set:

- Accuracy tolerances for the tested models (accuracy for position
and angle).
- The number of VBI files needed to ratify a model (ratified means
the model is considered good).

- This LibraryPro report can be exported to Excel format by clicking on the following button on the toolbar:

- This LibraryPro report can be exported to HTML format by clicking on the following button on the toolbar:

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 59 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

3. LibraryPro report summary

The LibraryPro report summary contains information

about the library tested (name, location and ratification
date).

It also gives an overview on the test conditions

(number of families tested, number of VBI files used)
and the test results.

The two progress bars give an overview of the test results:

- the Confidence level represents the quality of the model families used by applying the calculation:

Number of ratified families *100 / number of tested families

- the Test coverage represents the number of model families that have been tested on the library by applying the
calculation:

Number of tested families *100 / total number of families

The color code used for these progress bars is as follows:

- if the value is over 70% : the bar is displayed in green
- if the value is between 40% and 70% : the bar is displayed in orange
- if the value is lower than 40% : the bar is displayed in red

A family is Ratified if all the expected defects are found, if no false calls appear, and if the accuracy is
good. The ratified family is then identified with a specific icon in the library.

A family is NON Ratified if a false acceptance appears and/or a false call appears and/or the accuracy is
not good.

A family is Risky if one of its models might give a false acceptance or bad accuracy.

False acceptance appears when the expected result is set to a given defect type, but the actual result
is either OK or a different defect type.

False call appears when the expected result is set to OK, but the returned result is different from OK, or
the result is a defect that was not in the list of expected results.

Bad accuracy appears when the difference between the expected position values and the values
returned by the model are larger than the position Accuracy tolerances defined in the LibraryPro Report
Configuration window (see chapter 2).

4. LibraryPro detailed results

On the right part of the LibraryPro report detailed result tables can be displayed.
These tables can be viewed by either clicking on the corresponding tab or double clicking on the corresponding link in
the results summary.

Results are presented in tables and/or charts.

5. “Non ratified families sorted by families” table

In this “Non ratified families sorted by family” table, an overview of the test results is displayed by family.

This table lists all the families that have not been ratified as well as the reason why they were rejected: false
acceptance, false call, and/or bad accuracy.

From this table a model family can be retested on all the VBI associated with it.

The following columns are available:

- Family name

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 61 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

- False acceptance
- False call
- Bad accuracy
- Number of VBI files used
- Occurrence of bad results
- The type of defect (Good, Missing, Polarity, Joint, Bridge, Position)

6. Link to the model family test

From the “Non ratified families sorted by families” table, double clicking on one model family opens the “model family”
window for that model family.

In the test tab the model family is tested

once again with all the available VBI
corresponding to this model family.

The execution results are displayed in the

results table.

Each line corresponds to the execution of the

model family on one VBI.

VBI for which positional accuracy problems are found will have their inaccurate position value(s) displayed in red.

A position error icon in the error column signifies a VBI for which a position error is found.

A position error appears if the position values dx, dy, dt of the component exceed the position
tolerances set for the model family.

If modifications are made to the accuracy tolerance values then the LibraryPro results will be automatically updated to
reflect those changes.

7. Fine tuning
Once the LibraryPro report is displayed, the tested models can be fine tuned.

From the “Non ratified families sorted by families” table, double clicking on one model family opens the “model family”
window for that model family.
In this window, the execution results of this model family on all the available VBI files are displayed.

Double clicking on a line opens the “Results of model family” window.

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 62 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

In this window, the execution results for each model of the model family on the selected VBI file are displayed.
On top of the results table, the winner model (first model with a score higher than the defined winning threshold) is
displayed.

Double clicking on a result line for this table opens the “Model edition” window for the selected model.

The model can be modified here to try to improve its

execution results.

Once the modification are applied by clicking on the “OK”

button from the “Edit a model” window, it returns to the
“Results of model family” window.

The results displayed in the “Results of model family”

window have been updated according to the changes made
on the model.

8. Accuracy and position defects

Accuracy denotes the capability of the model to report the real position of the component whether or not that
component is correctly positioned.

A position defect indicates the quality of a product.

The goal of LibraryPro is to verify that the model is accurate. It certifies that the model is able to return the real
position whether the component is correctly positioned or not.

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 63 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

- Accuracy issue

Position of the Position of the

component component

Position found Position found

by the model by the model

If: If:

Position found by the model = Position of the Position found by the model ≠ Position of the
component component

=> The accuracy is good => The accuracy is NOT good

The Accuracy tolerance can be modified by clicking on the Report Configuration button from the
LibraryPro report toolbar.

- Position defect
A Position defect depends on the position tolerances defined in the library for the Model Family.

dX = 0.5 mm
Position found
by the model
Theoretical
position

In this example accuracy is good (Position found by the model = Position of the component)

Position defects depend on the tolerances used during production:

If the tolerances of the library are set to 0.2 mm => Position defect
If the tolerances of the library are set to 0.6 mm => No position defect

Saving a position defect in the VBI file is not of interest because it depends on the tolerances used during
production.

The position tolerances can be modified for a given model family in the Model Family edition
window. In the library, select the model family, then click on the “Edit model” button from the
toolbar.

Chapter 9: Kaleïdo color images creation

In Vision2009, the Kaleïdo feature allows creating colour images of the defects found during the inspection. These
colour images are then displayed in the DefectViewer windows, to help the operator review and repair more efficiently
the defects during the Repair process.

Kaleïdo is available for I-Lite machines only.

1 Colour image creation configuration from .ini file

1. Feature activation/deactivation
The colour image creation can be activated/deactivated from the [Link] file, located in the C:/VIT/Config
folder:
[Color Images]
Max Cycle Time (s)=0.000 // maximum acceptable cycle time in production
Default Green Level (1, 255)=60 // default setting for green lighting
Default Blue Level (1, 255)=90 // default setting for blue lighting
LUT Green Min=70 // factory settings
LUT Green Max=170 // factory settings
LUT Red Min=0 // factory settings
LUT Red Max=220 // factory settings

2. Colour image configuration

Colour images are taken for all the defective components found during the inspection process. Consequently, an extra
processing time is needed at the end of the standard inspection to move the camera and take these colour images.

- Max. cycle time (s)

To make sure that the colour image creation is a controlled time-consuming feature on the customer process, the “Max
cycle time ( s )” parameter has been introduced.
It defines (in seconds) the maximum duration an inspection process can take, from the moment when the panel enters
the AOI to the moment when it is conveyed to the downstream conveyor.
[Color Images]
Max Cycle Time (s)=0.000 // limit cycle time duration above which the
feature is automatically desactivated
// 0 = infinite cycle time

If the defined maximum duration is reached while colour images are being acquired, the colour
image creation stops and the panel is conveyed: only a part of the defects will then be displayed
using colour images.

- Values for colour rendering

The colour rendering can be customized using the following parameters:

[Color Images]
Default Green Level (1, 255)=60 // default setting for green lighting
Default Blue Level (1, 255)=90 // default setting for blue lighting
LUT Green Min=70 // image transformation parameter
LUT Green Max=170 // image transformation parameter
LUT Red Min=0 // image transformation parameter
LUT Red Max=220 // image transformation parameter

The default color images settings set in the [Link] file will be applied to any new TST
file created.
However, they are not automatically applied to the existing TST files.

2 Colour image creation configuration from TST file

The color images creation can also be activated in the TST file configuration window, in the Production tab.

Ticking the “Activate” checkbox activates the colour images recording features, and clicking on the Default button
applies to the Green level and Blue level fields the default values defined in the [Link] file.

The color image creation is then activated for this TST file only.

3 Colour image settings window

The color image settings window is used to customize the color settings, and apply the color settings to a selection of
existing TST file. This avoid to edit manually all the tst files and activate the color in each file.

The color settings window contains:

- The Conveyor section, in which the user can adjust the conveyor width and Load or unload a panel.
- The camera motion section, in which the camera position can be modified using both the provided
arrows or the keyboard keys.
- The Specific Light settings section, in which the user can adjust its color settings, so that the image
displayed in the video console looks about the same as the original. Clicking on the Default button set the
Green and Blue values back to the default settings.
- The TST selection section, in which the user can select a group of TST file. Clicking on the Search
button displays the list of TST files corresponding to the Search criteria.
- The results table, in which the user can activate/desactivate and customize the color settings for each
selected TST file. Clicking on the “Apply Specific Light Settings to Selection” applies the changes to the
selected TST files.

Once the color images creation feature is activated, color images are recorded for the defects found
during production. Then are then displayed on the DefectViewer screen.

Chapter 10: The Teach Assist

This new Vision2009 feature makes it easier to define the leaded component dimensions using both mouse click and
drawing tools on the component real image.

To achieve the definition of the component dimensions on the real image, it is necessary to do the following:
- Draw rectangles around the component body and pins.
- Either enter the number of pins or define the pitch and pins area on the component image

Then the software will calculate the missing parameters. If necessary, the user will be able to modify the parameters
deduced by the software.

1 Component definition presentation

The leaded component can be defined from the model edition window, from both the library and the link model
execution window.

1. Open the component definition window from the library

To define a leaded component from the model edition window in library, it is necessary to:
1. Open a .TST file
2. Create an .OIS file (or .OTR [Link] file) for the selected component (as described in chapter 5)
3. Open the library
4. Edit a model
5. Load the created .OIS file (or .OTR [Link] file)
6. Add a “Custom” treatment
The “Component definition window” will then appear.

2. Open the component definition window from the Link model execution
To define a leaded component from Link model execution window, it is necessary to:
1. Open a .TST file
2. Execute the selected component on the .TST file
3. Edit the model from the Link model execution window
4. Add a “Custom” treatment
The “Component definition window” will then appear.

3. The component definition window

The Component Definition window is divided into 3 parts:

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 68 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

- On the left, the definition wizard main steps description, in which the user has to make several
consecutive measurements using the provided trackers on the real image
- On the center, the image zone, in which the user can select the light level he wants to work with, and make
the measurements. The OIS file is displayed with 0° angle.
- On the right, the definition fields, in which the values extracted from the measurement trackers,are
displayed.

It is possible to exit the Component Definition window either by:

- Clicking on the OK button when all the fields are filled in (the OK button is greyed out until all the wizard
steps are complete). The data extracted from the various measurements are then applied in the Custom
treatment definition window.
- Clicking on the Cancel button: the window is closed, and it goes back to the Model Edition window, where the
Custom treatment is removed from the list of treatments.

To define sharply a leaded component, the user can use:

- The definition wizard, in which the measurements are made on the real image
- Then, once the definition wizard is finished, the definition fields
- The wired description, with the contextual and graphical tools provided

2 The Component definition wizard

The definition wizard allows to acquire in a few steps useful information to define the leaded components.

A green ladder shows the progress within the definition wizard. This ladder is updated as soon as a step is validated by
clicking on the Validate button.

1. Step1: the component type definition

In this step, the kind of component has to be selected from the following list:
- QFP
- SO
- Connector 1 side

Then the wizard automatically goes on to the next step: the component body definition.

2. Step2: The component body definition

In this step, the user has to define the component body. To make this operation easier, a tracker corresponding to the
calculated size of the component is displayed on the real image.

The user has to manually adjust the size and position of the tracker around the component body on the main image.
Once this is done, he needs to click on the Validate button to move on to the next step.

In the right part of the window, the Body size fields are automatically filled in with the values extracted from the
position and size of the tracker on the main image. These fields cannot be edited at this step: they are greyed out.

At any moment, the user can modify:

- The selected light level, by clicking on the corresponding thumbnail image displayed on
the right of the main image zone.
- The image settings, using the image tools displayed below the main image. The image
tools are described in chapter 5.2.

Once the user has clicked on the Validate button, the step is completed. The wizard
automatically moves on then to the next step.
It is not possible to go back to previous step.

3. Step3: The pins area definition

In this step, the user has to define the component pins area. To make this operation easier, a tracker is displayed on
the real image.
The software automatically deduces from the body size defined in Step 2 if the component is square-shaped or
rectangular-shaped.

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 69 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

Square-shaped QFP component

If the QFP component is square shaped, the pin area measured for the top pins is symmetrical with the right, left and
bottom pins area: only one measurement is necessary. The tracker position is then centered on the body size in X,
over the top pins.

The user has to manually adjust the size and position of the tracker around the pins area on the main image. The user
can either use the top, left, right or bottom pins areas, even if the tracker is positioned by default on the top pins area.

Once this is done, he needs to click on the Validate button to move on to the next step.

Rectangular-shaped QFP component

If the QFP component is rectangular shaped, the pin area measured for the top pins is symmetrical with the bottom
pins area, and the left pins area is symmetrical with the right pins area: two measurements are necessary.

The tracker position is centered on the body size in X, over the top pins.

The user has to manually adjust the size and position of the tracker on top of a X pins area on the main image. The
user can either use the top or bottom pins areas, even if the tracker is positioned by default on the top pins area.
Once this is done, he needs to click on the Validate button to move on to the second measurement.

The tracker position is centered on the body size in Y, over the left pins.

The user has to manually adjust the size and position of the tracker around a Y pins area (in blue on the drawing
below) on the main image. The user can either use the left or right pins areas, even if the tracker is positioned by
default on the left pins area.
Once this is done, he needs to click on the Validate button to move on to the next step.

SO component
When a SO component is defined, pins are either located in X side (top and bottom) or Y side (left and right): only one
measurement is necessary.
The software automatically deduces from the body size defined in Step 2 if the component is square-shaped or
rectangular-shaped.
The pins are supposed to be located on the largest side.

The tracker position is centered on the largest side of the component body, over the pins.

The user has to manually adjust the size and position of the tracker around a pins area (in red on the drawing below)
on the main image.
If X is the largest side of the component, the user can either use the top or bottom pins areas, even if the tracker is
positioned by default on the top pins area.

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 70 / 159

If Y is the largest side of the component, the user can either use the left or right pins areas, even if the tracker is
positioned by default on the left pins area.
Once this is done, he needs to click on the Validate button to move on to the next step.

Connector component
When a Connector component is defined, pins are either located in X side (top or bottom) or Y side (left or right): only
one measurement is necessary.
The pins are supposed to be located on the largest side.

The tracker position is centered on the largest side of the component body, over the pins.

The user has to manually adjust the size and position of the tracker around a pins area (in red on the drawing below)
on the main image.
If X is the largest side of the component, the user can either use the top or bottom pins areas, even if the tracker is
positioned by default on the top pins area.
If Y is the largest side of the component, the user can either use the left or right pins areas, even if the tracker is
positioned by default on the left pins area.
Once this is done, he needs to click on the Validate button to move on to the next step.

4. Step4: The pin definition

In this step, the user has to define one of the component pins. To make this operation easier, a tracker is displayed on
the real image.

The main image displayed is zoomed in to focus on the pin area measured by the user in Step 3.

The tracker is located in the middle of the pin area measured by the user in Step 3.

The user has to manually adjust the size and position of the tracker around the selected pin on the main image. Once
this is done, he needs to click on the Validate button to move on to the next step.

If the pin defined by the user is located outside the body, and not related to it, then the pin
position is automatically readjusted by the software. The pin size defined by the user is
modified accordingly.

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 71 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

In the right part of the window, the Pin size fields are automatically filled in with the values extracted from the position
and size of the tracker on the main image. These fields cannot be edited at this step: they are greyed out.

If the pin defined by the user is located inside the body, then the pin position is NOT readjusted
by the software. The pin size defined by the user is kept.

If the pin position defined by the user is outside the pin area defined in step 3, then the size of
the pin is saved and used in the next calculation, but its position is forgotten: the position of
the pin area is used.

5. Step5: The pitch definition

In this step, the user has to define the pitch between 2 consecutive component pins (the pitch includes a pin + the
empty space between it and the following pin). To make this operation easier, a tracker is displayed on the real image.

The zoom settings applied to the image are kept from the Step 4.

The tracker is located on the pin measured by the user in previous step and embed the empty space on the right of
the pin.

The user has to manually adjust the size and position of the tracker around the selected pitch on the main image.
Once this is done, he needs to click on the Validate button to move on to the next step.

The pitch is measured by the user using the tracker, then set by the software to the most approximate normalized
value. In the right part of the window, the selected normalized value is displayed in the Pitch listbox from the
Definition fields.
By default, the stick to standard values checkbox is activated during the wizard, and cannot be modified.

If the stick to standard values option is activated and the measured pitch width is at least 0.2
mm higher than the closer standard value, then the stick to standard values option is
automatically desactivated, and the measured pitch width value is kept.

Connector component
For connector components only, the stick to standard values checkbox is desactivated by default during the wizard:
the pitch value set with the rec tracker is kept.

6. Results
Once the definition wizard is complete, the Definition fields are updated in the right part of the window: the number
of pins fields are automatically filled in with the values extracted from the previous measurements.

In the main image zone, the OIS image is automatically resized to its normal size. The main image and the wired
description of the component are displayed: one shape for the body and one shape for each pin.

This allows the user to check graphically if the description of the component is correct, and modify it if necessary (see
chapter 4).

Once the definition wizard is complete, all the Definition fields become editable.

Once the Definition wizard is complete, it is not possible to go back to the wizard: results can
then only be modified using the editable fields on the right part of the window, or graphically on
the image.

3 The Component definition fields

Once the definition wizard is complete, the definition fields become editable. During the definition wizard execution,
these fields are automatically filled in after each step, but not editable.

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 72 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

Once a value is modified, it is necessary to click on the Apply changes button to compute again the data and see the
changes on the wired description in the main image (excepted for “Pin area offset” arrow buttons).
When a modification is made using the graphical tools, the definition fields are updated, and then become greyed out.
(See chapter 4)

At any moment, the user can decide to discard its changes and go back to the wizard settings by
clicking on the Restore Wizard Settings button.
A confirmation message is then displayed to warn the user that his modifications will be lost.
The definition fields become editable again if they have been greyed out.

1. The body size fields

The body size fields are updated once the position and size of the body tracker has been adjusted by the user on the
main image and validated with a click on the Validate button.

During the definition wizard, these fields are still not editable. At the end of the definition wizard, the fields become
editable.

Then, the user can modify the body size by inputting different values in the X and Y field. The modifications will be
applied only after clicking on the Apply changes button.

If the size of the body is modified (with the center of the component as reference) then the pin
area position is automatically adjusted to fit the new body: if the new body and the pin area
are distant, then the pin area is adjusted so that the size is kept, but the pins remain linked to
the body.

2. The pin size fields

The pin size fields are updated once the position and size of the pin tracker has been adjusted by the user on the main
image and validated with a click on the Validate button.

During the definition wizard, these fields are still not editable. At the end of the definition wizard, the fields become
editable.

Then, the user can modify the pin size by inputting different values in the Height and Width field. The modifications
will be applied only after clicking on the Apply changes button.

If the pin size is modified, but the width modification is lower than the pitch width, then the position of the center of
each pin stays identical. The pin area width is modified accordingly, its position is unchanged.

If the size of the pin is modified, the pin position will be automatically readjusted according to
the body position, so that the pin remains linked to the body.

3. The pitch field

The pitch field is updated once the size of the pitch tracker has been adjusted by the user on the main image and
validated with a click on the Validate button.

During the definition wizard, the Pitch field is still not editable, and set by the software to the most approximate
normalized value (from a provided list of possible values). At the end of the definition wizard, the field becomes
editable.

Then, the user can:

- Select another normalized value in the listbox
- Uncheck the “Stick to standard values” checkbox. The listbox is then replaced by an input field, in which the
user can input any value. By default, the value is set to the one extracted from the wizard.
The modifications will be applied only after clicking on the Apply changes button.

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 73 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

The list of available values in the Pitch listbox is hard coded. The following values must be used
(in millimetres):
0.4, 0.5, 0.65, 0.8, 1.0, 1.27, 2.54.

If the user unchecks the Stick to standard values checkbox, input a value, then checks the
checkbox again, the most approximate value from the user input is selected in the defined
pitch values list.

If the pitch size is modified:

- the pin area width is modified accordingly:
- the pin area position (= position of its center) remains unchanged
- the position of each pin is updated: they are dispatched up inside the new pin area

4. The number of pins field(s)

The number of pins field(s) are deduced by the software once the definition wizard is complete. At the end of the
definition wizard, the fields become editable.

The user can modify the pin number by inputting a different value in the Nb of pin in X side and Nb of pin in Y side
fields.
The Nb of pin in Y side field is used for QFP components only, when the component is rectangular shaped.

When the number of pins is modified, the pin area size is modified, the position of its center remains unchanged.

The modifications are applied only after clicking on the Apply changes button.

5. The pin area position offset

The pin area position offset field is grayed out during the definition wizard. At the end of the wizard, when the
definition fields become editable, it is possible to apply a position offset to one or several pin areas.

To do so, the user has to:

- select in the list the pin areas where the offset must be applied (Top and Bottom, left and right (for QFP
only), Top, Bottom, Left, Right)
- define the size of the increment
- Click on the offset arrows: clicking on the Up arrow will apply a positive offset, while clicking on the Down
arrow will apply a negative offset.

The defined offsets are applied to the position of the center of the pins encompassing area.
The pin size and pitch size values are not modified.

The offset applied when clicking on the Down or Up arrows is directly applied to the image: the
user doesn’t have to click on the Apply Settings button for this action only.

By default, the following values are used:

- pin areas where the offset must be applied: top and bottom
- size of the increment = 0,1 mm

The offset that has been applied in real time when the user clicks on the Up or Down arrows
MUST NOT be applied again when clicking on the Apply settings button.

The positive offsets will be applied using the following rules:

The negative offsets will be applied using the following rules:

4 The modification of the wired description

Once the definition wizard is complete, the user may want to adjust the wired description of the component extracted
from the previous measurements.

This is possible:
- Directly from the main image, using the contextual menu and the provided shortcuts
- From the definition fields, that are now editable (see chapter 4)

Chapter 11: The Tune Assist

This new Vision2009 feature allows to define the optimal settings for the histogram parameters in the Custom
treatment, to ensure a better detection of the solder joints.

A new tool has been introduced in the Custom Treatment, which presents a statistical view of the grey level
distribution on all the histogram pins: the user can then adjust the Lower Bound and Upper Bound parameters
according to the statistical repartition displayed.

A recording feature also allows to export in a .CSV file the average grey level values found during histogram and
custom treatment execution in production mode.

This feature does work with Windows 2000 (Matlab limitation).

This feature does not work on 3K Plus machines.

1. Tune Assist feature presentation

To activate the joint histogram results recording in production mode, the user must:
- launch the production mode
- once the production screen is displayed, press CTRL+J
- when the following confirmation message appears, click on Yes button:

Once the joint histogram results recording feature is activated, a JOINT REC sign appears in the
top right corner of the production screen.

The activating choice is recorded in the [Link] file:

Record joint histogram results in CSV files (0,1) = 1

That way, the feature stays activated in the next production sessions, until the user disables it.

If the process password is set, then the password is asked in production when the user
presses CTRL+J keys, before the confirmation message.

 Vision2009 user guide

To desactivate the joint histogram results recording feature that has been activated in the production mode, the user
must:
- press CTRL+J keys while the production screen is displayed
- when the following confirmation message appears, click on Yes button:

Once the joint histogram results recording feature is desactivated, the JOINT REC sign
disappears from the top right corner of the production screen.

If the process password is set, then the password is asked in production when the user
presses CTRL+J keys, before the confirmation message.

2. Results recording folder

The folder where the result files are recorded is defined in the [Link] file, in the [Production] section:
[Production]
Joint histogram results recording folder = C:/ProgramFiles/ViTechnology/Vision2009/Joint
Data

By default, the recording folder is set to C:/ProgramFiles/ViTechnology/Vision2009/Joint Data, but can

be modified by the user in the .ini file.

This folder is automatically created by Vision when joint data are recorded.

3. Results recording file

Once the joint histogram results recording feature is activated, all the unitary joint histogram average grey level
values are recorded and saved in a result file.
A file is created for each model family (which has joint histogram results to save) and for each inspected TST file,
using the following filename:
TSTfilename_Modelfamily_result.csv

The same file can include results from different models of the family, depending on the winner model.

4. Recorded data
The following data only are recorded into the result file:
- the tested components
- the winner model results
- the components which are not seen as “missing” (presence error)
- the custom and histogram treatments used in the joint equation
- the activated treatments

For the custom treatment, we record for each pin the results of the 3 histograms used for the joint detection:
- histogram placed on the left of the pin
- histogram placed on the right of the pin
- histogram placed on the end of the pin
In all cases, it corresponds to the average value of the histogram, even if the treatment score is associated to the
“Median” or “Mode” or “Deviation” or “Area%” value.

Even if a treatment is used twice in the equation, its results are exported only once in the .CSV
file.

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 81 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

5. Recorded file format

The file format use is the CVS file (comma separated values). By default, this kind of files is associated to Excel
software (if it is installed on the machine).

The separator character is defined in the regional settings of the operating system. It corresponds to the “List
separator” field (the software uses this character).

For many languages, as English, the comma is used by default. For French language, a semicolon is used because
comma is already used as decimal separator.

The files contain 14 columns:

- the column #1 gives the name of the winner model which provided the results
- the columns #2 to #4 are dedicated to the custom treatment results :
o column #2: end of pin histogram result
o column #3: left of pin histogram result
o column #4: right of pin histogram result
- the columns #5 to #14 are dedicated to the histogram treatment results (10 columns corresponding to the 10
possible histogram treatments).

For a custom treatment, one line is used per pin. The results of the 3 joint detection histograms are
provided on the same line.
If one of them is not activated, then the corresponding field is filled with “NA”.
The line is created even if the 3 histogram are disabled so that the data are correctly organized within
the file.

The results of individual histogram treatments are provided in a single line.

Example of the file format:

Data in blue are displayed for understanding, but are not recorded in the file.

As results from different components are recorded in the same Model family results file, no control
is made on the light levels used.

By default, results files are recorded for all the available model families (no way to select a list of
components).

Chapter 12: Library live Update

This new Vision2009 feature allows to update the library used in production mode with the modification made on OTR
files, without having to restart the production mode.

If the library used is stored on a common shared folder, then all the machines using this library in production are
updated as soon as a new version of the library is available.

1. Library live Update presentation

1. Library live Update settings

The feature can be set from the [Link] file, located under the
C:/ProgramFiles/ViTechnology/Vision2009/Config/ folder.

[Production]
Protect library access with lock file (0,1) = 0 // multi user mode
Activate library live update during production (0,1) = 0 // feature activation/desactivation
Display library live update indicator (0,1)= 0 // display in production

2. Library access protection with lock file

The “Protect library access with lock file” key allows to activate or desactivate the lock file management.

In order to protect the library accesses, a new specific “lock” file is created inside each library folder. Before reading or
writing on a library, the software verifies if it can do it safely: it checks in the file status if someone else already uses
it, and if not register itself as a reader or a writer.
If someone else already reserved the library, it waits a little then retry. If it is still not accessible after several
attempts, it informs the user that the library access is locked and asks him if he wants to retry or cancel its operation.

The library is reserved (means the library access is locked) only during the time needed by the
software to read or write on the library files.

The Library live update and the library access protection functionalities are not compatible with
the Shared library mode (using CVS).

The library access protection functionality allows a multi user access but this is not a real
Shared Library mode as we can do with CVS.
If 2 users are modifying a same library in parallel, the modification made by the first user who
saves its work will be erased by the one who saves its modification afterwards.

Windows Explorer does not manage safely the lock file. Consequently, it should not be used to
make a copy or to move a library.
We then provide a new software called [Link] which allows to move or copy a
library. This is a very simple application which asks for a library source and a target folder. See
chapter 11.2.3.

3. Library live update during production

The “Activate library live update during production” key allows to ask the production to automatically reload the library
when a new one is provided.
Before starting a new panel inspection, the production compares the loaded library date (.bm file date) with the date
of the current library on disk. If the library on disk is more recent, it verifies if it is not locked by a writer then loads it.
If the new library is locked, then it inspects the panel with the current library. Before starting the next panel
inspection, it tries again to load the new library.

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 83 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

During production, it is possible to open an OTR file and fine-tune its models (as before). Then, it is possible to select a
library (it can be the library used in production) and replace its models by the OTR models. This action is protected
with the use of the lock file.

Once the library has been updated on disk, the production reloads it.

The Library live update functionality cannot be activated if the library access protection is not
set.

4. Library live update display

The “Display library live update indicator (0,1)= 0” key allows to display of hide the live update sign in production
mode, to avoid over charging the display with too many information.

2. How to use it

1. Local library live update

In the case where the machine(s) uses in production mode a library stored in a local folder, then the following
operations must be done to be able to use the library live update feature:
- activate the “Protect library access” and “Activate library live update” keys from the [Link]
- launch the production mode with a tst file linked to a library stored in a local folder
- activate the OTR file recording
- fine tune the local library using OTR files
- click on OK button to save the modifications made on the OTR model
- select the local library in which the modifications must be stored

for the next panel inspection, the updated library will be automatically used.

The model in the library will be modified if and only if the following conditions are met:
- the same CAD system is used in the OTR model
- the same acquisition head is used in the OTR model

2. Shared library live update (shared folder)

In the case where one or more machines use in production mode a library stored in shared folder, then the following
operations must be done to be able to use the library live update feature:
- Synchronise all the computers clocks and set the same parameters (timezone and “Automatically adjusts
clock for daylight saving change”). Otherwise, the lock file management might not work correctly.
- activate the “Protect library access” and “Activate library live update” keys from the [Link], on all
the computers
- launch the production mode with a tst file linked to the library stored in a shared folder
- activate the OTR file recording on the machine used to fine tune the library
- fine tune the library using OTR files
- click on OK button to save the modifications made on the OTR model
- select the shared library in which the modifications must be stored

for the next panel inspection, on all the connected machines, the updated library will be automatically used.

The model in the library will be modified if and only if the following conditions are met:
- the same CAD system is used in the OTR model
- the same acquisition head is used in the OTR model

Vision2009 User Guide 5.0 84 / 159

 Vision2009 user guide

If several machines use the same library in production mode, then the “Activate library live
update during production” key must be activated on all the machines so that the library is
automatically updated after a modification is made.

3. The [Link] application

The [Link] application is used to copy safely a library from a source folder to a destination folder, when the
library access protection feature is activated.

It is possible to:
- copy the source library folder to a new location by selecting an empty folder
- To overwrite and existing library by selecting an existing .bm file

Chapter 15: The Supervisor

1 Revisit reviewed defect with the defect image

When the “Revisit Reviewed Panel” option is activated in the Initial Setting section of the DefectViewer
configuration window, the DefectViewer allows users to revisit reviewed panels even if it is reviewed and Repair
Status=Repaired.

Defect images have to be displayed when the reviewed panel is revisited.

Previously, it was already possible to revisit reviewed panels even if it has been viewed and Repair
Status=Repaired, when the “Revisit Reviewed Panel” option is activated.
However, it was not possible to revisit with defect images without extra settings and actions.

Hard disk capacity management

To be able to display the defect images of the panels that have already been reviewed, it is necessary to store a
large amount of images, and thus to introduce a hard disk capacity management.

The image storage management can be configured from the Supervisor configuration window, which is
automatically launched when the new Supervisor version has been installed.

In this window, the user can select:

- the folder in which the image files must be recorded
- the activation/desactivation of the hard disk capacity management

Once the hard disk capacity management is activated, the following parameters must be set:
- the % of hard disk space that must remain free: images files will be automatically deleted
when this low space is reached.
- the % of hard disk space above which the automatic deletion if images stops.
- The number of days during which the newer images should be protected.

The selected folder for Defect images storage must be dedicated to that: any other document
stored in this folder will be erased.

In the case where the hard disk free space is already lower than the defined the % of hard disk
space that must remain free, a warning message appears to warn the user.
