Specifications
Reconcile Device List means to update the Device list information to comply
with the Device library information. This action is needed when you switch
libraries.
Check Templates check all the templates in the central library Devices for
cross contamination (i.e. template for one Device mistakenly assign to a
different Device)
Restore Backup
The central library is protected by five levels of backups (backup1 to
backup5). Backup of the central library file are done automatically every day.
Backup1 is the most recent. In the case of central library corruption this button
allows the restoration of the central library from the backups. The user should
always try to restore from the most recent backup copy (i.e. backup1).
It is possible the library is corrupted so badly that prevents the AOI software
from starting up. In those cases, the Restore Backup button would be
useless because user cannot get to use it. To resolve the situation, a set of
batch files are provided to do the same function from outside the software
they are Restore1.bat, Restore2.bat,..etc They can be found in the \Utility
folder in the installation CD. User may copy all of them into the central library
folder and execute one of them to restore the backup files.
Backup Now
The central library is protected by five levels of backups (backup1 to
backup5). Backups of the central library file are done automatically every day.
I.e. backup1 is always one day older than the current central library and
backup2 is always one day older than backup1. The Backup Now button
forces the backup process to begin regardless of the time lapse.
How Local Library Work?
Consider the following scenario, you are training your first ever board, board
No101, before the training begins your library has no Devices at all. Board
No101 has 5 Devices R1,R2,C1,C2,C3 of which R1 and R2 are the same
Device number P001, and C1,C2 and C3 has the same Device number P002.
After training Board No101 the local library for Board No101 would have 2
Devices P001 and P002.
Now you are ready to train you second board, board No102. Since you are
using local library the moment you do File, New Board Setup, a copy of
Board No101’s local library is made, this copy serves as the starting point for
Board No102’s local library. So before training any Device for Board No102 its
library has two Devices. Board No102 has 6 Devices
R10,R11,IC1,C20,C22,C33 of which R10 is P001, R11 is P003 and IC1 P004,
C20,C22,C33 is P002. After training Board No102 is library would have 4
Devices P001,P002,P003 and P004.
If you now begin to train the third board, it will have 4 Devices in its library
before training begin.
