Specifications

Save Frequency specify how frequent data should be saved to disk. A 10
would mean every 10 board.
After a Board Setup is loaded, if the data log is turned on, before any board
inspection the software will prompt the user with the following dialog:
There are three choices Append, Start New Log, or End Data Log. The
Always Append check box in this dialog and in the SPC Data Logger Setup
dialog set the automatic respond for this dialog is Append. Once this is setup
the Tracking SPC Data dialog will no longer display. So the only way to un-
check the Always Append is from the SPC Data Logger Setup dialog.
When the AOI software sends data to Excel. In Excel, the data for each board
setup is stored in a workbook by the same name. For example, the data for
Board1028.Board Setup will have a corresponding Excel workbook named
Board1028.XLS. If multiple board setups are loaded and Test Board, multiple
workbooks are created in Excel to store their data.
At the end of an inspection section (i.e., when the Cancel Inspection button
is pressed in the Result dialog), the software saves the workbook to disk.
The software uses the data directory (e.g. C:\Data\) to store the temporary
workbook. Users can use the File | Save As function from Excel to store the
data into some other place, e.g., onto a floppy disk.
It is possible to create an Excel workbook for a particular board setup and have
the
AOI software use it as a template workbook when creating new workbooks.
It will allow the user to include specific information in the workbook. It is also
possible to have macros (Visual Basic Code) in this template workbook. With
this approach the possibilities are endless. You can create complicated
macros to do real time charting and SPC analysis.
A template workbook must have the same name as the board setup and be in
the same directory as
ScanSpection.EXE is located, usually C:\Program
Files\ScanSpection AOI
.
Here is a word of warning in the steps of operation for using the Excel to log
inspection data. If the software opens Excel for you to log data, the software
will close the Excel when it no longer needs Excel. DO NOT try to close
Excel with other means yourself, doing so may cause the AOI software to
crash when it tries to communicate with the Excel it opened.
