4. If all devices have failed during the bare board you may assume that thresholds are not set too LOW
and that the templates are not causing a false pass condition.
5. To SAVE a Board Setup file containing all configuration data just defined. Select <File / Save Board
Setup As / Locally> from the <File> Menu. Enter a unique name and press <Save>.
Congratulations! By completing this process you have now configured and validated a precise AOI
Mode automated inspection routine for this PCBA and all future quality inspections for boards of this
type.
IMPORTANT! The location of saved files is very important! As some file attributes are hidden. The
default location for AOI Mode files is: <C:\Program Files\AOI\User> + <Board Setup Name>. Before
moving or backing up inspection files/folders set the file/folder directory attributes to unhidden and copy
all associate files/folder containing the unique <Board Setup Name> as a prefix. See: FA Inspector
File Structure Overview for additional information on file structure.
6. Next, load a populated (fully assembled) board into the system and run the inspection normally.
NOTE: Some alternate templates may need to be created to complete the fine tuning process. At this
point you should not be lowering any of the threshold settings.
IMPORTANT Note! Be aware you should not be able to achieve 100% pass status with but a few (if
any) of the subsequent PCB inspection. The design of the FA Inspector is to identify deviations in the
manufacturing process and the components themselves. Because both the manufacturing of PCBAs
and parts used in the assembly are never 100% the same. Therefore, as a rule, it is acceptable and
expected to require the operator to verify (“Accept” or “Fail and Classify”) between (0 to 30) suspect
devices on medium size and part density boards (~500-800 devices).
