2. Methodology
Scanner Technologies has developed the UltraVim inspection system to provide the
fastest and most accurate three-dimensional inspections available in the industry. By
using an NIST traceable calibration standard, special optics, and a high-resolution
camera, the UltraVim system provides a solution that can meet your needs today, and in
the future.
The steps required to calculate part measurements are shown below.
System Calibration
Find Pixel Coordinates
Convert Pixel Coordinates into World Coordinates
Convert World Coordinates into Part Coordinates
2.1 Calibration
The secret to the accuracy of the UltraVim starts with the NIST traceable calibration
reticle. This standard is measured to an accuracy greater than 10 micro-inches. This
reticle utilizes 1,600 calibration references to define the World Coordinate Reference. By
using robust statistical techniques, the UltraVim is able to create and store this reference
with sub-micron accuracy.
The UltraVim has no moving parts. Once it has been calibrated, it stays calibrated. You
may want to calibrate the system once a month, or once a year to satisfy the verification
requirements or your company's internal process.
Ver 5.5 4
2.2 Inspection Reticle

To get true three-dimensional measurements, the UltraVim uses Scanner Technologies
patented inspection reticle. This special reticle allows one camera to see five views at
one time. Using ray tracing and vector analysis, the true 3D measurements are obtained
with one calibrated camera, and one image. This eliminates the errors produced by
systems that use multiple cameras or multiple images.
Calibration Reticle Inspection Reticle
Each inspection reticle has its own calibration file. When you install a new inspection
reticle on the UltraVim system, make sure you load the correct file. This file contains
precise information about the geometry of the reticle.
There is no file associated with the calibration reticle. They are interchangeable. These
reticles are manufactured to specific measurements with a tolerance of less than 0.25
microns. Before the calibration reticle is certified for use with the system, it is tested at
the Scanner Technologies factory. If it does not meet the required tolerance, it is
destroyed.
Ver 5.5 5
2.3 Pixel Measurements

The first step is to find the pixel location of each lead, or ball, on the part. Scanner
Technologies has been researching measurement and edge-finding algorithms for over 10
years. By using the most advanced techniques available, the positions of the leads, or
balls, are measured with accuracy greater than 1/20th of a pixel!
The example below shows a sample image. This image will be used to demonstrate the
concepts used in this chapter. Note that this simple illustration does not include side
images, or ray tracing.
Assume that the software searched the image for the leads, and found the first lead at
386.2, 349.7 pixels. This is done for all the leads in the image, but for our example we
will just look at the first lead.
Pixel Measurements
X = 386.2 pixels
Y = 349.7 pixels
Ver 5.5 6
2.4 World Measurements

The next step is to convert the pixel measurement to world measurements. This is done
by using the World Coordinate Reference that is stored in the calibration file. This file
contains the information required to convert any pixel location to a location in mils. If
the part files is defined in microns or mm, the measurements are converted to the
appropriate unit.
To show an example of how this is done we can use the formulas below. For this
example, assume the pixel size is 1.8 mils and the center pixel is 512. Note that this is a
very simplified version of what actually happens in the software.
X World = (X Found Pixel – X Center Pixel) * X Pixel Size
Y World = (Y Center Pixel – Y Found Pixel) * Y Pixel Size
X World = (386.2 – 512.0) * 1.8 = -226.4 mils
Y World = (512.0 – 349.7) * 1.8 = 292.1 mils
World Measurements
X = -226.4 mils
Y = 292.1 mils
Ver 5.5 7
2.5 Part Measurements

After the World Measurements have been calculated, the position of the part can be
computed. By looking at all the points found on the part, the Part Coordinate system can
be determined. In the diagram below, you can see that the part has been rotated.
After the Part Coordinate system has been calculated, the Part Measurements can be
determined. This is done by calculating the expected ideal position of each lead, based on
the Part Coordinate system. In the diagram below, you can see that the lead has a small
amount of Bent Lead and Tip Offset because the actual center of the lead is not the same
as the ideal center based on the Part Coordinate system.
Part Measurements
Bent Lead = 0.50 mils

Tip Offset = 1.75 mils
Ver 5.5 8
2.6 Part Tolerances

The Part Tolerances are entered in the part file. After the Part Measurements are
computer, they are compared to the tolerances. The result can be Pass, Rework, or Fail.
These results are reported back to the host system.
For absolute measurements, the tolerances will be positive numbers. For example, if the
Width should be 10.0, you may want to set a tolerance from 8.0 to 12.0 in the part file.
For relative measurements you will use both positive and negative numbers. For
example, for Bent Lead you may want to set a tolerance of -4.0 to +4.0 because a value of
0.0 shows that the lead is not bent at all.
Ver 5.5 9
3. System Organization
This chapter describes the operating system, the directories on the system, and the
important files required for operation.
3.1 Operating System
The UltraVim system comes with the Microsoft Windows NT operating system. All of
the programs and drivers utilize true 32-bit code for maximum efficiency. When the
system starts, you will not find the standard Microsoft “Explorer” interface. Instead, a
simplified interface will be shown that has command buttons for the common programs
that you may need to run.
Computer Shows a dialog box that displays the contents of the computer as icons.
These icons include disk drives, the control panel, and printers. This icon
requires the user to enter the password for level 3 to run.
A:Setup Shows a dialog box that lists the executable files on the A: drive.
Use this button to run setup programs from the A: drive. This is
for installing upgrades to the software or new drivers.
UltraVim Starts the UltraVim software. There is no need to click on this button
when you power up the system. The UltraVim software will start
automatically without any user intervention.
Calibrate Runs the UltraVim calibration software.
Ver 5.5 10
Notepad Runs NotePad, a simple text editor.
Files Runs the File Manager program. This icon requires the user to enter
the password for level 3 to run.
Info Displays important information about the computer and software.
Exit Exits Windows NT. This icon required the exit password before
it closes down Windows. If you need to power down the system,
or restart the system, it is best to do so by using this button.
3.2 Directories
The hard disk on the UltraVim is divided into three drives. The C: drive contains the
Windows NT operating system and drivers, the D: drive holds the UltraVim software, and
the E: drive is used to “Auto-Save” data.
C Drive
The C: drive contains the Windows NT operating system. It is very important that you do
not delete any files on this drive. A password level of 3 is required to delete files, so
make sure that only the system administrator knows this password and it is not given to
anyone else.
: If any files are deleted from the C: drive, the UltraVim system may no
longer function properly!
Ver 5.5 11
D Drive
The D: drive contains the UltraVim software. The following directories must be present
for the system to work correctly:
D:\UVIM All the executable files and dll’s are stored here.
D:\UVIM\Files This directory contains all the system files for the UltraVim.
D:\UVIM\Parts The part files are stored in this directory.
D:\UVIM\Data Any data that has been saved manually is stored in this directory.
: If any files are deleted from the D:\UVIM\Files directory, the UltraVim
system may no longer function properly!
; If you have multiple UltraVim systems, you can copy part files from the
Parts directory to other systems. The part files are not system
dependent.
E Drive
The E: drive contains the data from the “Auto-Save” function. It is important to archive
or delete the data on the E:\ when it is no longer needed to keep the drive from filling up.
When you select a part file, its Auto-Save directory is created. For example, if the Auto-
Save directory is specified as “QFP160” in the part file, then the “E:\QFP160.001”
directory is created. If the “E:\QFP160.001” directory already exists, then
“E:\QFP160.002” is created. The directory keeps incrementing up to “.999”.
The following files will be created in the “QFP160.001” directory (if the option to save
the file is checked in the Options dialog box, and Auto-Save is check in the Options
dialog box):
Ver 5.5 12
LOTSTAT.CSV The Lot Statistics data.

LOTSUMM.RPT The Lot Summary Report.
SPCSTAT.CSV The SPC data.
PRT#####.CSV The Part Statistics data.
PRT#####.RPT The Part Summary report.
PRT#####.TIF The Part Image file.
The ##### in the part files represent the number of the part that was measured such as
PRT00001, PRT00002, PRT00003, etc.
Note that if you have the Auto-Delete function turned on, the files on the E:\ drive will be
deleted after a certain number of days. This can be changed in the Options screen.
Ver 5.5 13
4. UltraVim Operation
This chapter gives an overview of the UltraVim software. Normally, the host system
controls inspections, but there may be times that you want to use the UltraVim software
for manual operations.
4.1 Main Screen

The main screen of the UltraVim software is shown below. The key elements are:
z Command Bar at top of screen
z Part File, Cycle Time, Position
z Part Statistics showing Minimum and Maximum measurements
z Lot Summary showing the total Pass, Rework, and Fails for lot
z Image on the right of the screen
z SPC chart in lower left corner of screen
z Version number in lower right corner of screen
Ver 5.5 14
4.2 Command Bar
Select Part Use this command to manually select a part, or select the “Pick and Place
Setup” mode. Normally, the host system will automatically select a part.
Inspect Part Use this command to manually inspect a part. A part must be over the
inspection reticle first. Normally the host will automatically send the
inspect command.
Data Use this command to view and save data, or clear the data. If you do not
have the “Auto-Save” command on, all data is lost when the system is
shut down, the data is cleared, or a new part is selected.
Options This command lets you change options such as which language is shown,
or what measurement the SPC char displays. You need to enter password
level 2 to enable this command.
Maintenance This command lets you edit and create part files. If you are in password
level 1, you can only edit files. If you are in password level 2, you can
create and save files. If your password is level 3, you can delete files.
Passwords Use this command to change password level, change passwords using
the administration screen, or exit the program using the exit password.
Ver 5.5 15
4.3 Select Part

The Select Part dialog lets the user manually select a part and enter user information.
The icons in the lower-left corner of the screen let the user select the part type. When the
part type is changed, the files listed will also change.
If the user has password level 3, the reticle can be changed. The reticle shown must
always match the reticle that is actually on the system when you are inspecting Gull Wing
and J-Leaded parts. For BGA parts, the user can ignore the reticle selection.
Ver 5.5 16
If you have a new reticle, insert the reticle setup disk in the A: drive and click on the
“Load” button. If you retire a reticle, or send it to the manufacturer for repair, you should
select that reticle in the list, then click on the “Delete” button to remove the file from the
system.
: If the wrong reticle file is selected, the inspection results will not be
valid for Gull Wing and J-Leaded parts. The reticle files have the
extension “RET” and are stored in the D:\UVIM\Files directory.
If you check the “Pick & Place Setup” checkbox, the system will perform only a two-
dimensional XY inspection and report the X, Y information in output channels C0-C7.
This should be used with the setup reticle to determine the proper placement of the
hander system over the center of the reticle.
If you want to test the system by measuring parts with the setup reticle, choose the reticle
called "SETUP", and the system can measure parts with the setup reticle, but note that the
coplanarity will not be checked because the setup reticle does not have prisms on it.
; Any part file can be loaded manually, but the host can only load part
files that contain 1 or 0 in the file name.
Ver 5.5 17
4.3 Resume Lot
When a part is selected, the "Resume" button may become active. If the user clicks on
the "Resume" button, the lot summary information from the previous lot will be loaded
into the program. This includes the number of pass, rework, and fail parts as well as the
Lot Summary statistics.
To make sure the "Resume" button will become enabled for a part, the Auto-Save feature
must be used to save the Lot Summary report. When the user selects a part, the program
looks in the Auto-Save directory for the LOTSUMM.RPT file. If this file is found, the
"Resume" button will become enabled.
If there are multiple Auto-Save directories, the program will look in the last directory
found. In the example below, the "Resume" button will load the information from the
E:\QFP160.003 directory.
E:\QFP160.001
E:\QFP160.002
E:\QFP160.003
Note that the Lot Statistics information will not be loaded into the program when a lot is
resumed – only the Lot Summary. Also, the current user information that is entered will
be used.
Ver 5.5 18
4.4 Inspect Part
When the user clicks on the “Inspect Part” button, or the host give the inspect command,
the UltraVim performs the following steps:
1. The LED lights are turned on.

2. An image is acquired.
3. The reticle is found (if not a BGA part).
4. The body of the part is found.
4. The leads (or balls) are found.
6. The results are computer.
If a lead (or ball) was not found, the result is shown as “NF”. You should be able to look
at the image and see a red marker where the lead was expected. This can occur for the
following reasons:
1. There actually is a missing lead or ball.

2. The part file is not correct.
3. The part is not centered.
4. The part is not in the image.
4. The lights are not working.
Ver 5.5 19
4.5 Data
To view data, click on the “Data” button. The following dialog will be shown:
Note that you can change the User and Lot information on this screen. This will change
any of the files that you view, but it will not change the part files that have already been
saved with the “Auto-Save” function.
Ver 5.5 20
4.6 Options
Inspection Cycles The inspection cycles should be left at “NORMAL”. If you select
“Demo” the system will inspect the same part until you click on the
cancel button. Demo 1.0 inspects once per second, Demo 2.0
inspects once every two seconds, etc.
SPC Subgroup Size The SPC subgroup size shows how many values to average before
saving in the SPCSTAT.CSV file. It is best to set this number to 5
or 10. If you have large lot sizes, the SPC file can get very large.
Especially if this value is set to 1.
Machine Enter the machine serial number in this field.
Ver 5.5 21
Auto-Save If Auto-Save is checked, the system will automatically save data

on the E:\ drive. Do not check the “Part Summary", “Part
Statistics”, or "Image" unless you are performing a special study.
These files take up a lot of space and will fill your E:\ drive
quickly.
Auto-Delete If you turn on the Auto-Delete option, files on the E:\ drive
will automatically be deleted after a certain number of days.
Specify the number of days in the edit box to the right of
the Auto-Delete choice.
Graphics This determines if the graphics are shown. If you have a host
system that is very fast (above 10,000 uph) you should turn the
graphics off to speed up the system. If not, it is best to leave
graphics on.
Image You can use the save and load buttons to save or load TIF images.
If you have a part that looks strange, or think there is a problem
with your system, save the image and send it to customer support.
SPC Chart Select the measurements you want displayed on the SPC chart
on the main screen.
Language Select the language you want displayed.
Ver 5.5 22
4.7 Maintenance
When you click on maintenance, the dialog below will be shown. From this dialog, you
can click on the icon of the type of part you want to edit or create. If your system only
supports one part type, this dialog box will not be shown.
4.8 Passwords
From the Passwords dialog box you can enter the password to change user level, exit the
program, or change passwords. The default passwords are:
Level 2 2
Level 3 3
Exit EX
Administration ADMIN
Ver 5.5 23
4.9 Password Administration

It is important to change the passwords, especially for level 3 which give the user access
to the delete functions. After you change the passwords, you should give them only to
those who need the required level:
Level 2 – Create Files
Level 3 – Delete Files
From the Passwords dialog box you can enter the password to change user level, exit the
If you enter the ADMIN password, the administration dialog will be shown. From this
screen you can change the existing passwords. To do this:
1. Select the password you want to change.

2. Enter the old password.
3. Enter the new password.
4. Re-enter the new password.
5. Click on OK.
If the OK button remains gray, the old password is not correct, or the new password does
not match the “re-entered” new password.
Ver 5.5 24
5. Part Files
This chapter describes how to create and edit part files for the UltraVim system. It is very
important to make sure the values in the part files are correct for the system to operate
correctly. It is best to use the CAD drawing of the part to verify the values you enter in
the part file.
5.1 Maintenance
When you click on the “Maintenance” button from the UltraVim software, a dialog will
be shown that lets you select the part type. If your system is set up for only one type of
part, then this dialog will not be shown.
; If you cannot edit the part because all the fields are gray, go to the
Passwords screen and enter the password for level 2 or level 3.
5.2 Gull Wing & J-Lead

The first information you must enter is the File Name, Description, and Auto-Save
Directory. The File Name can be up to eight characters long. The host system can only
send commands to load files that have “1” or “0” in the name. To select a file name like
this, you can move the sliding scroll bar next to the File Name. To the right of the scroll
bar, you will see a number. This is the decimal equivalent of the file name. For example,
if you slide the bar until the file is “11111111”, the number will show 255.
Ver 5.5 25
Enter a short description of the part. This is especially important if the File Name
contained only 1’s and 0’s. This helps you identify the part file for manual operations,
and it will also show up on the reports.
The Auto-Save Directory can be up to eight characters long. Make sure that the Auto-
Save Directory for each part is unique. When Auto-Save is selected from the UltraVim
software, the Auto-Save Directory will be created on the E:\ drive with an extension from
001 to 999. For example, the first time you run the QFP160 part, the Auto-Save data will
be saved in the E:\QFP160.001 directory.
Ver 5.5 26
Select the Units and Lead Type, then enter the Lead Dimensions and Body Dimensions.
For a J-Leaded part, there will be no Foot Length or Foot Angle. The most common
orientation is Counter Clockwise. If you are creating a J-Leaded part, the Center
checkbox will become active. This lets you define lead 1 at the center of side 1 instead of
the corner.
5.2 Irregular Parts

Normal parts have the following characteristics:
z Opposite sides have the same number of leads.

z Leads have a constant pitch.
z Leads on the same side lie in a straight line.
z There are no missing leads on a side.
z All leads are the same distance from the body.
If these conditions are not met you can create an “Irregular” part. To do this, first create a
normal part file that is as close to the part as you can make it. Next, select “Irregular” in
the Orientation section of the screen, then click on “Position”. The following screen will
be shown:
Ver 5.5 27
From this screen, you can enter the Side and X,Y position of each lead. Make sure that
you start with Side 1 and stop at Side 3 for a two-sided part or Side 4 for a four-sided
part.
If a part has a missing lead, you can delete the X and Y positions for that lead. This will
cause the lead to keep its lead number, but it will not be measured. Note that it will show
up as 0.0 on some of the graphs because a blank line is seen as a 0.0 value by the
graphing software.
5.3 Tolerances
The Tolerance screen defines how the values are calculated, and what values will cause
the part to be rejected or reworked. Some host systems may only have a reject output, but
you may still want to enter rework values to keep track of how many parts are “close” to
being rejected.
Ver 5.5 28
At the bottom of the tolerance screen there are several selections to change the
calculations used by the UltraVim software. A summary of these calculations is shown
below.
Bent Lead – Best Fit

This uses all the leads to calculate the Bent Lead for the part. By using all
the leads with a best-fit regression, the calculation is more repeatable. This
is the suggested default setting.
Bent Lead – JEDEC

This uses only three leads to calculate the Bent Lead for the part. If one of
these reference leads is bent or damaged, it can have unexpected results on
the calculation.
Coplanarity – 3 Point Plane

This calculation finds the best combination of three leads to create a stable
seating plane for the part. It tries to predict the coplanarity values of the part
if you were to put it on a flat surface. This is the suggested default setting.
It is the most accurate calculation, but the least repeatable on some parts.
Some parts may have several stable seating planes. These types of parts may
have higher repeatability values when the same part is measured several times.
Coplanarity – Hysteresis Plane

This calculation uses several leads to create a seating plane. This creates
more repeatable numbers, but these numbers may not be as accurate as the
values from the 3 Point Plane. This is because a part that has several seating
planes will have these planes averaged to create one stable seating plane.
We provide this calculation for test purposes, but suggest that you use the
3 Point Plane calculation.
Ver 5.5 29
Coplanarity – LMS Regression Plane

The LMS Regression Plane calculates both negative and positive coplanarity
values. The regression finds the plane that minimizes the squared values of the
coplanarity. This is the most stable and repeatable coplanarity calculation, but
many choose not to use it because it does not predict the coplanarity values
of the part on a flat surface.
Standoff – 3 Point Plane

This calculation predicts the distance from the part body to a flat surface if the
part is placed on that surface. Note that this number will be slightly different
for each lead because the body of the part will not be exactly parallel to the
flat surface. This is the suggested default value.
Standoff – Best Fit

To calculate the 3 Point Plane standoff. The UltraVim software must be able
to see the body of the part in the four side views. This may not be possible for
all parts. This calculation tries to estimate the standoff based on the coplanarity
numbers. Another alternative for these types of parts is to set the standoff to
0.0 when you create the part. This will turn off the standoff calculation.
Ver 5.5 30
5.4 Measurements
Coplanarity
Coplanarity is the distance from the lead to a flat surface when
the part is placed on that surface.
Standoff
Standoff is the distance from the body to a flat surface when the
part is placed on that flat surface.
Tip Offset
Tip Offset is the distance from the tip of the lead to the ideal
position of the lead.
Tip Error
Tip Error uses a best fit line to calculate the tip offset relative to
the other leads on a side. The formula used is: Tip Error = Tip
Offset – (A*N + B) where A is the slope parameter in the
regression, N is the lead number, and B is the intercept.
Skew
Skew is the distance from the edge of the lead to the ideal center of
the lead. Skew = abs(Bent Lead) + Width/2
Ver 5.5 31
Bent Lead
Bent Lead is the distance from the measured center of the lead to the
ideal center of the lead.
Width
Width is the distance from one edge of the lead to the other edge.
This measurement is calculated 1/4 width from the lead tip.
Terminal Dimension
The terminal dimension is the tip to tip distance between two
opposite leads.
Pitch
The lead pitch is the distance between the measured centers of two
adjacent leads.
Burr
The burr measures any width of the lead that is larger than the
average width of all the leads. The foot length controls how far
towards the shoulder the software will search for a burr.
Ver 5.5 32
5.5 Ball Grid Array (BGA)

The first information you must enter is the File Name, Description, and Auto-Save
Directory. The File Name can be up to eight characters long. The host system can only
send commands to load files that have “1” or “0” in the name. To select a file name like
this, you can move the sliding scroll bar next to the File Name. To the right of the scroll
bar, you will see a number. This is the decimal equivalent of the file name. For example,
if you slide the bar until the file is “11111111”, the number will show 255.
Enter a short description of the part. This is especially important if the File Name
contained only 1’s and 0’s. This helps you identify the part file for manual operations,
and it will also show up on the reports. The Auto-Save Directory can be up to eight
characters long. Make sure that the Auto-Save Directory for each part is unique. When
Auto-Save is selected from the UltraVim software, the Auto-Save Directory will be
created on the E:\ drive with an extension from 001 to 999. For example, the first time
you run the BGA208 part, the Auto-Save data will be saved in the E:\BGA208.001
directory.
Ver 5.5 33
If you click on the “Setup” button, the screen below will be shown. From this screen you
can remove missing balls from your part file. To add or remove a ball, click on that ball
with the mouse. As you move the mouse over a ball, the ball label will be shown on the
left. The Part Reference should be set to Upper Right. If you click on Full the software
will automatically set all the balls to become active. If you click on staggered, the
software will set every other ball to become active.
5.6 Datum – Balls or Board

If you select Datum to be “Balls”, the ideal positions of the balls are calculated from the
balls themselves without respect to the position of the board. If you select “Board”, the
ideal positions of the balls are calculated with respect to the reference edges of the board.
Ver 5.5 34
In Figure 6A below, you can see that the balls are rotated on the board, and the X and Y
datum are also rotated to match the rotation of the balls. In this example, the X Error and
Y Error of the balls would be small because the positions of the balls are close to the ideal
positions define by the X and Y datum.
Figure 6B shows the same part with the datum define with respect to the board. The
board is not rotated and the X and Y datum are not rotated. This will create X and Y
Errors that are larger than in Figure 6A because the ideal positions of the balls defined by
the datum will not be close to the actual position of the balls.
Ver 5.5 35
Figure 6A Figure 6B
Datum = BALLS Datum = BOARD
In Figure 6C below, you can see that the balls are offset on the board, and the X and Y
datum are also offset to match the balls. In this example, the X Error and Y Error of the
balls would be small because the positions of the balls are close to the ideal positions
define by the X and Y datum.
Figure 6D shows the same part with the datum define with respect to the board. This will
create X and Y Errors that are larger than in Figure 6C because the ideal positions of the
balls defined by the datum will not be close to the actual position of the balls.

5.7 Coplanarity – LMS or Hysteresis

If you select LMS Regression Plane for the coplanarity calculation, the coplanarity results
will have positive and negative values. If you select Hysteresis Plane, the results will
always be positive. You can select a range for the Hysteresis Plane from 0.00 mils to
0.40 mils. The Hysteresis Plane recalculates the coplanarity results with the following
steps:
1. Find the minimum coplanarity value from the LMS regression plane.
2. Find all values within the range, and compute the average.
3. Subtract the average from all values.
4. Round any negative values to 0.

5.8 Measurements
X, Y Diameter
This is the distance from the left edge of the ball to the right edge
or the distance from the top edge of the ball to the bottom edge.
X Error
This is the distance from the X position of the ball to the ideal X
position defined by the X datum.
Y Error
This is the distance from the Y position of the ball to the ideal Y
position defined by the Y datum.
R Error
This is the distance from the X,Y center of the ball to the ideal X,Y
center defined by the X and Y datum.
Coplanarity
This is the Z distance of the ball to the average Z measurement as
defined by the LMS regression plane or Hysteresis plane.
Ver 5.5 38
Standoff
This is the Z height of the ball relative to the board. This
measurement is calculated by added the nominal standoff with
the relative ball height.
Warpage
This is the average Z distance from the center of the package to the
corners of the package.
Ball Quality
This is a measurement of the roundness of the ball. It is calculated
by finding the minimum diameter and maximum diameter of the
ball and using the following formula:
Ball Quality = min / max * 100%
Board Width, Height

This is the X and Y dimensions of the BGA package.
X, Y Grid Offset
This is the X and Y offset of the center of the ball array grid to the
center of the package.

6. Graphs & Data

There are five types of reports that the UltraVim software creates. They are:
z Part Summary Summary information about the last part measured.
z Lot Summary Summary information about the last lot measured.
z Part Measurements Each measurement for every lead for the last part measured.
z Lot Statistics The average measurement and standard deviation for every
lead for the last part measured.
6.1 Part Summary – Gull Wing & J-Lead

The Part Summary Report for Gull Wing and J-Leaded parts shows the minimum and
maximum measurement for each side of the part. It also shows the average and standard
deviation for each side on the part. The result of the measurement is shown on the left
side of the screen right below the measurement name. You can save or load the part
summary report by using the command buttons at the top of the screen.

6.3 Lot Summary – Gull Wing & J-Lead

The first section of the Lot Summary Report shows the percentage of parts that passed
each measurement type, the number of parts that were a pass, rework, and fail, and the
totals. If a part failed any of the measurements, then that part will show as a fail in the
“Total” at the bottom of this section.
The second section of the report shows a summary of the minimum values for each part.
The Min and Max show the “Minimum of the Minimums” and the “Maximum of the
Minimums” for the lot. For example, the minimum Bent Lead will always be a negative
number so the Min and Max will both be negative numbers as well. The average and
standard deviation are calculated for the entire lot as well.
The next section of the report shows a summary of the maximum values for each part.
The Min and Max show the “Minimum of the Maximums” and the “Maximum of the
Maximums” for the lot. For example, the maximum Bent Lead will always be a positive
number so the Min and Max will both be positive numbers as well.

6.4 Lot Summary – BGA

The first section of the Lot Summary Report shows the percentage of parts that passed
each measurement type, the number of parts that were a pass, rework, and fail, and the
totals. If a part failed any of the measurements, then that part will show as a fail in the
“Total” at the bottom of this section.
The second section of the report shows a summary of the minimum values for each part.
The Min and Max show the “Minimum of the Minimums” and the “Maximum of the
Minimums” for the lot. For example, the minimum X Error will always be a negative
number so the Min and Max will both be negative numbers as well. The average and
standard deviation are calculated for the entire lot as well.
The next section of the report shows a summary of the maximum values for each part.
The Min and Max show the “Minimum of the Maximums” and the “Maximum of the
Maximums” for the lot. For example, the maximum X Error will always be a positive
number so the Min and Max will both be positive numbers as well.

6.6 Lot Statistics

The Lot Statistics Report shows the average measurement for each lead or ball for the
entire lot. A graph of each measurement is also shown. The average measurement is
shown in blue, and the standard deviation is shown in yellow. This chart is useful to see
trends in the lot, or to check the repeatability of the machine by measuring the same part
many times.
If you click on the "Stdev" selection on the left of the screen, you will see an expanded
view of just the standard deviation. If you click on the "3D" button, you will see a 3D
chart of the coplanarity.
Ver 5.5 45
6.7 SPC
The SPC data shows the minimum, maximum, average, standard deviation, and CPK for
each measurement. The number of data points in the SPC chart depends on the SPC
Subgroup Size that is set in the Options dialog. For example, if you had 1,000 parts in
your lot and the Subgroup Size is set to 10, you will have 100 data points in the SPC
chart. Each data point will be the average of the previous 10 parts measured.
The CPK number is equal to the difference between the maximum and minimum
tolerance divided by six standard deviations. Generally, a CPK number greater than one
shows that the process is stable.
CPK = (Max Tolerance – Min Tolerance) / ( 6.0 * Standard Deviation )
If the SPC file is very large, a dialog will be shown that shows the percent of the file that
is loading. If you click on the cancel button, the file will stop loading and you will be
able to see the data that was loaded. For example, if you clicked cancel on the dialog
below, you would still be able to see 25% of the SPC data.

6.10 Golden Accuracy Report
To run the Golden Accuracy report, first place the device on the UltraVim. Next, select
the correct part file and click on the Inspect button several times to inspect the device. A
sample size of 30 inspections is normally used. After you have completed the
inspections, click on the Password button and enter password “G”. The dialog below will
be shown. Select the correct device serial number, then click on the OK button.
Ver 5.5 49
If the correct device is not listed in the dropdown selection, copy the correct *.CRB or
*.CRQ file to the D:\UVIM\Library. For example, if you are using device GB16-123, you
will need to copy the GB16123.CRB file. This file contains the values from the
certificate file and is used to compare with the inspection results to generate the accuracy
report.
An example accuracy report is shown below. To calculate the results, the following
formula is used:
Delta[i] = abs(C[i] – M[i])
C is certificate value.
M is measured value.
From the calculated “Delta” values, the maximum delta and the 3-Sigma accuracy values
are calculated and displayed:
3-Sigma = (Average + 3*Stdev)
Accuracy(+/-) = +/- (3-Sigma)*0.5
Ver 5.5 50
6.11 Gage R&R Report
To run the Gage R&R Report, first click on the Options button and set the SPC Subgroup
Size to 1. Next, select the correct part file and inspect the parts. The most common way
to run the test is to use one tray of parts and cycle the tray 9 times through the system.
The first three runs are called Group A, the next three are called Group B, and the last
three are called Group C.
If you had a tray with 5 parts that was cycled 3 times you would have the following
inspections for Group A:
#1..... Part 1, Run 1 #6..... Part 1, Run 2 #11..... Part 1, Run 3
Note: This is test type R1(P1,P2..Pn) R2(P1,P2,Pn)
Another method that is sometimes used is to inspect each part 9 times in a row. This can
be used when it is difficult to cycle the tray of parts through the system. With this
method, if you had a tray with 5 parts and measured each one 3 times, you would have the
following inspections for Group A:

Note: This is test type P1(R1,R2..Rn) P2(R1,R2,Rn)
Ver 5.5 51
After you have completed the inspections, click on the Passwords button and enter
password “G” to display the Gage R&R Dialog. In the Gage R&R section of the dialog,
the SPC file will already be selected. Note that you can change the file in case you have
saved the data from an old test. Enter the tolerance value for the measurement that you
want a report on. Select the part type that you are testing and the measurement that you
want the report generated for.
Next, you must select the correct test type and the number of runs and parts that were
used for the test. A test type of R1(P1,P2..Pn) R2(P1,P2,Pn) indicates that you cycled the
tray for each run. A test type of P1(R1,R2..Rn) P2(R1,R2,Rn) indicates that you cycled
the tray of parts one time, but measured each part more than once.
Finally, click on the OK button to generate the report.
Ver 5.5 52
An example report is shown below. The top section of the report shows the values that
were used to calculate the Repeatability & Reproducibility.
Group Average Ranges

Range Group A (RA)
Range Group B (RB)
Range Group C (RC)
These are the average ranges for each of the three groups. For example, Range
Group A (RA) is the average range of Run 1, Run 2, and Run 3 for all 10 parts.
Range Group B is the average range of Run 4, Run 5, and Run 6 for all 10 parts.
Range Group C is the average range of Run 7, Run 8, and Run 9 for all 10 parts.
Ver 5.5 53
Average Range (RX)

For three groups as shown in the example, the average range is the average of
Range Group A, Range Group B, and Range Group C.
RX = (RA + RB + RC)/3
Range of Averages (RY)

To calculate the Range of Average, the average measurement for all the parts in
each group must be calculated. For example, assume the average measurement
for groups A, B, and C are 3.60, 3.69, and 3.65. The calculation for RY is shown
below:
Average A = 3.60
Average B = 3.69
Average C = 3.65
RY = Max(A,B,C) – MIN(A,B,C)
= 3.69 – 3.60
= 0.09
Repeatability (EV)
Repeatability shows the variation when measuring the same part several times.
It is calculated by multiplying the statistical constant K1 times the average range.
EV = K1*RX
= 3.55*RX
Ver 5.5 54
Reproducibility (AV)
Reproducibility shows the variation between groups A, B, and C. Often a
different operator is used for each group to check the reproducibility. Also,
systems are sometimes calibrated between groups to check the reproducibility
of the calibration. The formula for reproducibility is shown below.
AV = sqrt(K2*K2*RY*RY – EV*EV/N)
Combined R&R (RR)

The Combined R&R shows the effects of both repeatability and reproducibility.
The relationship of repeatibility, reproducibility, and R&R is similar to the sides
of a right triangle. The formula for R&R is shown below.
RR = sqrt(EV*EV + AV*AV)
Ver 5.5 55
7. Calibration
This chapter describes how to calibrate the UltraVim system. Because the UltraVim has
no moving parts, you do not have to calibrate often. It is recommended that you calibrate
the first time you setup the machine, any time you move the machine, and one time each
year. You may also want to calibrate the system if you think there are any problems. It is
a good way to verify the basic operations of the system.
7.1 System Calibration

Exit the UltraVim software by entering
the exit password. From the main command
bar, click on the Calibrate button.
When you first start the calibration software, the Calibrate and Options buttons will be
grayed out. If you enter password level 2, the Calibrate button will become active. If you
enter password level 3, the Options button will become active. The spreadsheet on the
left side of the screen shows the calibration log. The result, values, units, and date are
shown. The system must calibrate to a value 0.06 mils or less to pass. Any value greater
than this number will cause a “Fail” result.
Ver 5.5 56
If you click on the “?” button, the system will perform a short calibration to calculate the
field of view. If you click on the image, the system will turn on the lights for a short
period of time.
Before you can calibrate the system, you must install the calibration reticle and the
calibration diffuser that came in the UltraVim toolkit. Make sure the reticle is clean and is
seated properly. Assemble the calibration diffuser as shown in the diagram above, and
place it on the calibration reticle. After you have installed the reticle and diffuser, click
on the image to test the installation. You should be able to see the black dots clearly, and
the background should be a smooth gray color.
After you have verified that the image is correct, click on the Calibrate button. The
software will acquire an image, then find all the dots on the screen. The blue bar at the
top of the screen indicates the progress.
As the system calibrates, the X Error and Y Error will become smaller. After the
software has acquired 16 images, the calibration will complete. If both the X Error and Y
Error are less than 0.06 mils, the calibration will pass and the results will be saved.
Ver 5.5 57
7.2 What is it Doing?

The calibration is using the NIST traceable calibration reticle do the following:
z Find the pixel scale factor

z Calculate lens distortions
z Map out non-linearity
An example of a map of the non-linear in the system is shown below. All lenses have
these distortions to some degree. The calibration using a NIST traceable calibration
reticle with hundreds of calibration points is critical to the accuracy of the system.
This map is created in the following way:

1. Find the center of each dot.
2. Calculate a calibration map.
3. Find the center of each dot using the calibration map.
4. Report the errors from step 3.
5. Add the new centers to the average centers.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 15 more times.
Ver 5.5 58
Note that the errors reported in step 4 show the 3 Sigma distances from the measured
centers of the dots to the known NIST centers of the dots. The average 3 Sigma error
value can be up to 0.06 mils. If the value is greater than 0.06 mils, the calibration will not
pass.
7.3 Options
If you click on the Options button, the screen below will be shown. The screen should
only be used the very first time the UltraVim is installed in the host. It shows the
relationship of the part to the inspection reticle.
The default setup is A, and you should try to install the UltraVim so this is the way the
parts are oriented on the system. If you cannot do this, you may changed the orientation
to match the orientation of the actual part as it is inspected on the system.
Ver 5.5 59
8. Managing Files
To manage your UltraVim files, exit the software by entering
the exit password. Then click on the Files icon on the main
command bar to start File Manager. You will need to enter
password level 3 to start the program. For on-line help,
press the F1 key.
8.1 What is File Manager?

File Manager is a tool you can use to organize your files and directories. You can use File
Manager to create and remove directories; move, copy, and delete files; connect to
directories shared on the network; share directories; secure files and directories; and
perform other disk, directory, and file management tasks.
In File Manager, your files and directories are displayed in a directory window. The
directory window is split: the left half displays the directory tree; the right half displays
the contents of the current directory. When you select a different directory in the directory
tree, the contents of that directory are displayed in the right half of the window.
In the directory window, each filename has an icon next to it, graphically indicating what
kind of file it is.
Directories.
Shared directories. These are directories users can connect to on the network.
Program files, PIFs, and batch files. Their default filename extensions are
.EXE, .COM, .PIF, and .BAT. These files start applications.
Ver 5.5 60
Document files. These files are associated with applications. When you choose
a document file, the application starts and opens the file.
System or hidden files. These files have system or hidden attributes.
All other files.
File Manager displays a toolbar and drivebar below the menu bar. The toolbar provides
quick access to File Manager commands through buttons. The drivebar displays icons that
represent available drives, including hard disk drives, floppy disk drives, network drives,
and CD-ROM drives. You can change to a different drive by selecting its drive icon.
8.2 Main Screen

From the main screen below, note the following items.
1. Menu at the top of the screen.
2. Drives A, C, D, E, and F.
3. Directory list to left of screen.
4. File list to the right of screen.
5. Drive space (657 MB Free) at bottom of the screen.
Ver 5.5 61
To change drives, click on a different drive. For example, if you click on the D: drive, the
screen will change to the screen below. At the bottom of the screen you can see that the
D: drive has 653 MB free.
8.3 Copy Command

From the main screen click on change the directory to D:\UVIM\Files by clicking on the
directory folders on the left side of the screen.
Ver 5.5 62
Now click on the “File” menu, then click on “Copy”. Enter A: in the “To” edit box.
Then insert a floppy disk in the A: drive and click OK. The program will copy the
contents of this directory to the A: drive. You may want to back up your D:\UVIM\Files
and D:\UVIM\Parts directories in this way.
8.4 Delete Command

File Manager can also delete files and directories. Make sure you only give system
administrators the password for level 3. Never delete any files on the C:\ drive, or the
D:\UVIM\Files directory.
To delete a file or directory, simply select it in the directory or file list then press the
delete key. You can also choose delete from the File menu. In the screen below, pressing
the delete key would delete the D:\UVIM\Data directory. Without this directory, the
system will not run correctly. Any time you use File Manager, you must be very careful
not to delete any required files or directories.
Ver 5.5 63
9. UltraMark Module
This chapter describes how to install and operate the UltraMark inspection module. This
module requires additional software, framegrabber board, and a CCD camera.
9.1 Hardware
The list below describes all the major hardware components of the UltraMark system and
notes on installation.
Camera The camera has a resolution of 640x480 and should be mounted

directly above the part. This should be in a place where the part
comes to a stop with a tolerance of +/- 20 mils.
Lens The lens should be connected to the camera.
Camera Cable The split end of the camera cable should be connected to the
power plug on the computer, and the BNC plug on the
framegrabber board. The single end of the cable should be
connected to the camera.
9.2 Startup
After the UltraMark module has been installed, a command button will appear at the
bottom of the UltraVim main screen. You can click on this button at any time to display
the UltraMark main screen.

9.4 Select Part

When you select a part, the default values from that part file will be stored in memory.
These include the Region Of Interest (ROI), the minimum character size, and the
correlation tolerance. The Resume button will restore the last Pass and Fail totals for the
inspection of the selected part.
9.5 Learning the Mark

After a part has been placed below the camera, the system is ready to learn the mark.
When this is done, a template is stored in memory that is used to compare with other
parts. The first part must have a mark that is the correct mark, but it does not have to be a
perfect mark because the software can learn from up to twenty parts. The average of all
the parts is used to create an ideal template.
After you have selected a part file, a default Region of Interest will be selected. You may
want to change the region of interest to closely outline the characters on the part. To do
this, follow the steps below:
Ver 5.5 67
Setting the Region of Interest
1. Click on the image to acquire an image.
2. Click once in the upper-left corner of the mark and hold the mouse button down.
For the best results, click as close to the characters as you can.
3. Hold the mouse down and move to the lower-right corner of the mark. Let go
of the mouse button when the dotted rectangle is in the correct position.
4. Click on the “Learn Mark” button to find the characters in the region of interest.
In the example below, the software found twelve characters.
5. The software is now ready to start inspecting.
Ver 5.5 68
9.6 Inspection Results

The blue boxes are called references. The software finds these first in order to calculate
the expected positions of all the other characters. If the part is rotated or misplaced, this
will speed up the search for all the characters.
In the example below, part of the “S” in the word “SAMPLE” is missing. The software
can only find a match of 27% and the character fails. A typical correlation tolerance used
is 70%.
The Lot Summary shows the results of the current lot. This
includes the total number of parts that have passed and the
number of parts that have failed.
The Part Summary shows the inspection results for the last
part inspected. This summary only shows the
measurements that have been selected in the part file. Note
that if none of the searches or characters are defined as
Pin1, the result for Pin1 will always show Pass.
Ver 5.5 69
After the inspection is complete, the user can click on the Data button to view a Mark
Summary report.
This report shows the number of parts that have passed and failed the inspection
tolerances. The report also shows the yeild for each inspection item and the minimum,
average, and maximum values. Results for each individual search area are also shown
Ver 5.5 70
9.7 Editing Characters

If you click inside a character, the dialog below will be shown. This screen will let you
change the parameters of a character or a search box.
Character Type The character can be set as NORMAL or REFERENCE.
Report As The reporting can be set to MARK or PIN1. If this is set to PIN1,
the software will set the B line low if the character fails.
Updatable This lets the software know if a search can be updated after the
initial Learn Mark is pressed by the user.
Search Range This tells the software how far to search for the character.
Search Color This tells the software the color of the mark and background.
Threshold This is the threshold used when the software learns the mark.
Setting this to LOW can help when characters run into each other.
Setting this to HIGH can help find faint characters.

and have a *.MRK file extension.
Description
The user can enter additional information in the description field. This text is shown
when the Select Part screen is displayed.
Ver 5.5 74
Setup – Learn From

This setting tells the program how many parts to average to create the template. For
example, if you set the Learn Sample Size to 10, then 10 parts will be averaged together
to create the template. Note that these parts will still be inspected by the program, and
only parts that Pass will be used to create the template.
Setup – References
The references can be set up for GLOBAL SEARCH or LOCAL SEARCH. This tells the
software how to use the references. For LOCAL SEARCH the software will search for
each reference as if it were independant from the other references. This could be used if
the software is looking at multiple parts, for example.
Setup – Calculation
This parameter tells the software how to calculate the Average Correlation. If
AVERAGE CORR is selected the software will calculate the average of all items in the
search box. If MIN OF 5 is selected, for example, the software will calculate the average
from the worst five correlations.
Setup – Rotation
With this parameter, you can turn on the test for rotated parts. If TEST180 is selected the
software will test the image rotated at 180 degrees if it fails at 0 degrees. If the image
passes after it has been rotated, the Pin1 inspection will be recorded as a fail.
Setup – Min Char Size

This parameter sets the minimum character size for CX and CY allowed when the user
Learns the mark. If only one row of characters is selected in the search window, you can
set this to AUTO. The AUTO settings will make all the characters the same height and a
Ver 5.5 75
Setup – Max Char Size

This parameter sets the maximum character size for CX and CY allowed when the user
Learns the mark. If only one row of characters is selected in the search window, you can
set this to AUTO. The AUTO settings will make all the characters the same height and a
Tolerances – Contrast
This parameter sets the tolerance for the contrast of the part. If the contrast falls below
this level, the part will fail. The calculation for contrast is the minimum of 100% or 5.0
times the standard deviation of the pixels in the search area.
Tolerances – Correlation
The correlation tolerance is the most important setting. This is the primary method of
passing or failing the mark. If minimum correlation value for any character is below this
setting, the part will fail.
Tolerances – Average
The average correlation tolerance sets the minimum acceptable value for average
correlation. There are several methods used to calculate the average value. The
calculation method is set in the Setup – Calculation section.
Tolerances – Splatter
The Splatter is the number of white ink spots that are found on the part. The software
looks for ink splatter in any area that does not contain a character. The Search – Splatter
parameter must also be turned on.
Tolerances – X Position
This parameter sets the allowable number of pixels that a mark can be from the trained
position. If the found position is greater than this value the part will fail.
Ver 5.5 76
Tolerances – Y Position
This parameter sets the allowable number of pixels that a mark can be from the trained
position. If the found position is greater than this value the part will fail.
Tolerances – Rotation
The rotation sets the allowable rotation of the mark in degrees. If the angle of the mark is
greater than this setting, it will fail.
Search – Enabled
For a search to affect the results it must first be set to enabled. The software will skip any
search that is not enabled. Drawing a new search on the image with this mouse will
automatically set that search to be enabled.
Search – X1..Y2
These parameters set the Region of Interest for the search. This region is only used when
the user learns the mark with the Learn button, or updates the mark with the Update
button. The software can find characters that are outside the search if they are in the
allowable range and time allocated.
Search – Part
The part sets what part the search is used for. If the software is set up to test multiple
parts, the user must set this parameter. If the user is only testing one part at a time, this
parameter will be set to PART 1.
Ver 5.5 77
Search – Type
This attribute tells the software how to learn the mark. If it is set to CHARACTERS the
software will look for any character that is completely inside the search area, is larger
than the minimum character size allowed, and is smaller than the maximum character
size allowed. If this attribute is set to LOGO/PIN1 the software will use the entire search
area as one character.
Search – Fail
This parameter tells the software what type of failure the search will report. If it is set to
MARK, the A line will be set on the digital IO. If it is set to Pin1, the B line will be set
on the digital IO.
Search – Updateable
This attribute lets the software know if a search can be updated by the user during a lot
inspection. If there are any updateable search areas, the Learn button will display Update
after the user clicks on it the first time. If there are no areas that can be updated, the
Learn button will become disabled.
Search – Reference
The references can speed up a search because the help the software determine the general
position of the mark. The reference can be set to FIRST, LAST, or BOTH. A user can
manually change the references by clicking on a character in the image after the mark has
been learned.
Search – Splatter
The splatter attribute defaults to NO TEST because this inspection can add over 100ms to
the total inspection time. If it is set to AUTOMATIC the software will calculate a
threshold value and search the entire area for ink splatter. A manual threshold can also be
set.
Ver 5.5 78
Search – Range
The Search Range tells the software how many pixels it can look for a character from the
expected position. Setting a higher number here will find characters that are misplaced,
but will slow down the search.
Search – Timout
This parameter tells the software how long it can search for failing characters. If the time
is greater than this setting, the software will break out of the search and report the best
match that it could find.
Search – Speed
The Search Speed is how fast the software looks for the object. To speed up the search,
larger search steps are taken. For a large object such as a logo, it may help to set the
speed to VERY FAST.
Search – Color
This attribute describes the color of the mark and the background. The default is WHITE
ON BLACK. If this is not set correctly, the Learn function will not find the characters
correctly.
Search – Threshold
The Threshold is used by the software to find the characters when the user clicks on the
Learn button. Setting this to LOW can help find characters that run into each other.
Setting this to HIGH can help the software find faint characters. The AUTOMATIC
setting will work for most parts.
Search – Sensitivity
This parameter adjust the sensitivity of the correlation. Setting it to LOW will give a
higher correlation result. You may want to set a logo to LOW, for example.

9.12 Troubleshooting
The “Learn Part” command cannot find any characters.

1. Make sure you have selected a region of interest around the characters.
2. Check the Min Char Size and Max Char Size.
3. Check the Search Color.
The software does not respond to the host inspect command.

1. Make sure the host icon shows that the software is in host mode.
2. Make sure the part has been learned and the “Inspect” button is active.
3. Use the “Digital Test” dialog to test the inspect line. You may need to
invert the line.
The software responds to the host inspect command, but then it says “Timed Out”.
1. The host must set the INSPECT line low after it detects that the busy line
is high. If the INSPECT line is not low within 3 seconds, the inspection
will time out.
The inspection is taking over 1 second.

1. You may have reference tolerance set too high.
2. The inspection may take longer while the system is learning.
3. Set the Search Range to a lower value.
4. Set the Search Timeout to a lower value.
5. Set the Speed to VERY HIGH.
The “Options” button and host icon are grayed out.

1. You have not entered the correct supervisor password.
Too many parts are passing.

1. Increase the Correlation Tolerance in Maintenance.
2. Set the Sensitivity to HIGH.
Too many parts are failing.

1. Decrease the Correlation Tolerance in Maintenance.
2. Increase the Learn From number.
3. Use more references.
4. Set the Speed to LOW.
The images look very noisy.

1. Make sure the light you are using is at a low angle. This will help the
background of the part look darker.

10. UltraLead Module

This chapter describes how to operate the UltraLead inspection module. This module
requires additional software, framegrabber board, and a CCD camera.
10.1 Main Screen

The main screen from the UltraLead program is shown below. As you can see, it looks
very similar to the UltraVim screen. Most of the screens are identical to the screens in
the UltraVim program. The biggest difference is that the user must draw a search area
around the tips of the leads so the software knows where to look for the part.
Ver 5.5 83
10.2 Setting the Search Area
After the part file has been loaded, the search area must be selected by the user. To do
this, the user can use the mouse to draw the search box on the image. The search box
should be close to all the tips of the leads on the part. Below are some examples of
search boxes that are drawn correctly and some that are not correct.
CORRECT TOO SMALL
OFF CENTER WRONG PART
Ver 5.5 84
10.3 Setting the Brightness
The image to the left shows the

correct brightness and contrast for
2D lead inspection. Note that the
leads are bright enough, while the
tape in the background is almost
black.
The image to the left is too bright.

The leads can be seen clearly, but the
background is a gray color and there
are reflections on the tape. The
background should be very dark, or
black.
The image to the left has a black

background, but the leads on the
bottom side are too dark. Note that
not all of the features on the leads
can be seen.
Ver 5.5 85
10.4 Options
Inspection Cycles The inspection cycles should be left at “NORMAL”. If you select
“Demo” the system will inspect the same part until you click on the
cancel button. Demo 1.0 inspects once per second, Demo 2.0
inspects once every two seconds, etc.
SPC Subgroup Size The SPC subgroup size shows how many values to average before
saving in the SPCSTAT.CSV file. It is best to set this number to 5
or 10. If you have large lot sizes, the SPC file can get very large.
Especially if this value is set to 1.
Machine Enter the machine serial number in this field.
Ver 5.5 86
Auto-Save If Auto-Save is checked, the system will automatically save data

on the E:\ drive. Do not check the “Part Summary", “Part
Statistics”, or "Image" unless you are performing a special study.
These files take up a lot of space and will fill your E:\ drive
quickly.
Auto-Delete If you turn on the Auto-Delete option, files on the E:\ drive
will automatically be deleted after a certain number of days.
Specify the number of days in the edit box to the right of
the Auto-Delete choice.
Graphics This determines if the graphics are shown. If you have a host
system that is very fast (above 10,000 uph) you should turn the
graphics off to speed up the system. If not, it is best to leave
graphics on.
Image You can use the save and load buttons to save or load TIF images.
If you have a part that looks strange, or think there is a problem
with your system, save the image and send it to customer support.
Setup The setup area of the options dialog is used to set the camera
and digital IO options. You must have password level 4 to
change these options.
Language Select the language you want displayed.

D. Host Communications
This chapter describes the protocol required to communicate with the UltraVim system
using the digital I/O cables. When the UltraVim software starts, it is automatically
checking the digital I/O lines for commands from the host. This lets the user inspect part
in manual mode, or in host mode without changing any of the settings.
D.1 Physical Connections
There are two OPTO22 50-pin connectors on the UltraVim PC. They are labeled "Input"
and "Output". The input connector used 16 lines for commands and data input, and the
output connector uses 24 lines for results, and other outputs.
The figure below shows the layout of the connectors. Each pair of pins carries a signal
and is labeled A0 – C7. Note that C0 – C7 are not used on the input connector.

D.5 Load Part
When the "Load Part" command is sent to the UltraVim, the file name will be created
from the input data lines B7 – B0 (B7B6B5B4B3B2B1B0). For example, to load the file
"0000001.PAR" you should set the data lines B7 – B1 to 0 and data line B0 to 1. Note
that you cannot have a file named "0000001.PAR" and a file named "00000001.BGA" on
the same system since the UltraVim has no way of telling the file extension from the eight

D.6 Example Load Part Code
Use the C code below as an example of how to load a part file from the host. The code
will set the data bits for part file "00000001", then send the command to load the file.
Assume the following:
z SetBit sets the bits on the Input connector

z GetBit reads the bits on the Output connector
z SetTimer sets a countdown timer in milliseconds
z GetTimer returns the number of milliseconds left on timer

The general sequence for all commands is shown below:
1. The host sets the command id.

2. The host sets the REQ line high.
3. The UltraVim sets the ACK line high.
4. The host sets the REQ line low.
5. The UltraVim executes the command.
6. The UltraVim sets the ACK line low.
7. The host checks the error bit for errors.
The following diagram shows the general timing of the host communications to inspect a
part with the UltraVim. Assume that a part file has already been loaded.
1 3
Host REQ
2
UltraVim ACK
4 5
UltraVim BUSY
1. The host must hold a part over the reticle, set the command bits (A4-A7)
to the Inspect command, and send the REQ bit high to start the inspection.
2. As soon as the UltraVim sees the REQ bit high, it sets the ACK bit high
and starts the image acquisition.
3. The host acknowledges the start of inspection by setting the REQ bit low.
The REQ line must be set low as soon as the ACK line goes high.
4. When the image has been acquired the UltraVim sets the BUSY line high.
The host may move the part away from the reticle when this line goes high.
5. When the results have been computed, the UltraVim sets the result bits,
then sets the ACK and BUSY lines low. This tells the host that the
results are ready.

The diagram below shows the general move sequence for the handler.
A. Move the handler above the reticle.

B. Move the part down to position.
C. When part is in place, send the inspect command.
When the inspect command is given to the UltraVim software, the lights are turned on
and the image is acquired. If you have a very high speed system, you can save about
50ms by sending the UltraVim software the command to turn on the lights (ID=14) before
the part is in place.
The new command sequence would be the following:
A. Send command to turn lights on, then move the handler above the reticle.

Ver 5.5 116

D.13 Part Angle
After an inspection is complete, the UltraVim returns can report the part angle with
respect to the center of the reticle. To get this information, you must send the command
to get the angle by setting A7=1, A6=1, A5=0, and A4=0 (ID=12). After the command
has been set, set the request line high to report the angle in output channels C0 – C7.
This will report the angle up to +/- 12.7 degrees. The following example code shows how
to calculate the angle.

D.14 Connecting With Your System
The UVIM uses opto-couplers on it’s digital I/O signals to electricaly isolate the
UVIM and the customers equipment. This isolation requires a D.C. voltage source
to power the signals. If the customer does not have a voltage source available,
then the UVIM can be equipped with a DC to DC convertor whose +5vdc is
available on pin 49 and return (ground) on any even pin of the connectors. The
customer can use the voltage from these pins to power the signals that are wired
between the UVIM and their equipment. If the customers equipment already has a
voltage source of 5vdc to 32vdc @ ½ amp then the UVIM can be configured with
out the DC to DC convertor and the customer can connect their positive voltage to
pin 49 and their ground to any even pin of the connectors. There are three basic
configurations in which a customer can wire their signals to the optically isolated
signals on the UVIM digital I/O connector.
Customer Connects OPTOT-22 Style Boards to UVIM Digital I/O Connector
The customer can simply connect a 50 pin ribbon cable between the UVIM digital
I/O connectors and two 24 position OPTO-22 boards. The ribbon cable should
have standard 0.1” pitch keyed connectors at each end to ensure pin #1 of the
UVIM connector gets connect to pin #1 of the OPTO-22 board. The customer
should then follow the directions that came with the OPTO-22 board to wire their
signals to the appropriate UVIM signal. To power the OPTO-22 modules the
UVIM needs to be configured with the DC to DC convertor.

Customer wires Directly to UVIM Digital I/O Connector, but They Have No
Isolation Power Supply
If the customer wishes to wire directly to the UVIM, but has no isolating power
supply available, they can order the UVIM with a DC to DC convertor. The DC to
Ver 5.5 118

DC convertor provides a +5VDC on pin 49 of both connectors and a return

(ground) on all the even numbered pins. Illustrated below is the internal
configuration of the UVIM to aide the customer in determining how they will
connect their signals to the UVIM.

Isolation Power Supply
If the customer wishes to wire directly to the UVIM and they have a source of
5vdc to 32vdc @ ½ amp, they can order the UVIM without a DC to DC convertor.
The customer should wire the positive side of their supply to pin 49 of each
connector and the return (ground) side to any even pin on both connectors.

D.15 Electrical Specifications of Digital I/O Signals
The electrical specifications of the opto-couplers used on the UVIM is important

for those customers that will wire directly to the I/O connectors. As can be seen
from the previous two figures the input of the UVIM consists of an opto-
coupler’s LED whose anode is tied to the positive side of the isolating voltage
source. To signal the UVIM, the customer must ground the input (LED cathode)
of the UVIM. A current limitter protects the LED when the isolation voltage is in
the 5vdc to 32vdc range. The output of the UVIM is the opto-coupler’s transistor
whose emitter is tied to the ground side of the isolating supply. When a UVIM
output is active the transistor will be conducting (current sinking). If the customer
requires a voltage level output, pull up resistors (SIPS) can be installed on the
UVIM.
WARNING:
There is no current limiting on the UVIM output transistor, therefore it is
the customers responsibility to ensure that the load they connect they to the
UVIM output does not exceed the transistor ratings listed in the table below.

E. Asynchronous Host Communications

This chapter describes the protocol required to communicate asynchronously with the
UltraVim system using the digital I/O cables. When the UltraVim software starts, it is
automatically checking the digital I/O lines for commands from the host. This lets the
user inspect part in manual mode, or in host mode without changing any of the settings.
The asynchronous communications protocol differs slightly from the industry standard
communications described in Appendix D, but it offers the added flexibility of sending
commands to different cameras and software packages at the same time.
To set the protocol, make sure you select "Option 2" at the bottom of the digital IO dialog
box.
E.1 Physical Connections
There are two OPTO22 50-pin connectors on the UltraVim PC. They are labeled "Input"
and "Output". The input connector used 16 lines for commands and data input, and the
output connector uses 24 lines for results, and other outputs. The figure below shows the
layout of the connectors. Each pair of pins carries a signal and is labeled A0 – C7. Note
that C0 – C7 are not used on the input connector.

Ver 5.5 122

E.2 Testing the Connections
From the UltraVim software, press the following keys at the same time to display the
Digital I/O Test dialog:
CTRL – ALT – F4
Make sure you select "Option 2" at the bottom of the dialog box to set the protocol. This
dialog will show the status of the 16 input lines and the 24 output lines. Note that the
UltraVim will not process any host commands while this dialog is being displayed. You
can test individual output lines by clicking on the “0/1” button next to the line you wish
to test. Also, you can invert the input or output lines by clicking on the “Invert Signals”
checkbox.

Note that the REQ line is used to send a command to the main UltraVim software. The
command is determined by CMD1, CMD2, CMD3, and CMD4. The RQ2 line is used to
request a command from device number two, usually the Mark Inspection program. The
acknowledgement line AK2 responds to request line RQ2, and the results are stored in the
RS2A and RS2B lines.
Ver 5.5 124

E.4 Input Commands
The following input commands are used only for the REQ (A0) line. The RQ2, RQ3, and
RQ4 lines are only used to request and inspection of that device.

14 1 1 1 0 Turn Lights On
15 1 1 1 1 Clear Line
E.5 Load Part
When the "Load Part" command is sent to the UltraVim, the file name will be created
from the input data lines B7 – B0 (B7B6B5B4B3B2B1B0). For example, to load the file
"0000001.PAR" you should set the data lines B7 – B1 to 0 and data line B0 to 1. Note
that you cannot have a file named "0000001.PAR" and a file named "00000001.BGA" on
the same system since the UltraVim has no way of telling the file extension from the eight
data lines.
Ver 5.5 125

E.6 Error Codes
The following error codes are used only for the REQ (A0) line. The RQ2, RQ3, and RQ4
lines only use the AK2, AK3, and AK4 lines to determine the response of the intended
device.
ID ERR3 ERR2 ERR1 Description

0 0 0 0 No Error
1 0 0 1 No File Loaded
2 0 1 0 Part Not Found
3 0 1 1 Not Host ACK
4 1 0 0 Wrong Ball Count
5 1 0 1
6 1 1 0
7 1 1 1
E.7 Result Codes
The output channels RS1A (B0) and RS1B (B1) show the results of the inspection from
the UltraVim software. This is the main UltraVim system that performs an inspection of
a leaded or BGA device. The four possibilities are shown below:
Inspection Results
B1 B0 Result
0 0 Invalid
1 0 Failure
0 1 Rework
1 1 Pass
For Mark Inspection, the RS2A (B2) and RS2B (B3) lines are used. The RS2A line
indicates if the mark passed, and the RS2B line shows if the orientation passed.
RS2A = 1 Mark Passed

RS2A = 0 Mark Failed
RS2B = 1 Orientation Passed
RS2B = 0 Orientation Failed

E.8 UltraVim Timing Diagram
The general sequence for all UltraVim commands is shown below:
1. The host sets the command id.

2. The host sets the REQ line high.
3. The UltraVim sets the ACK line high.
4. The host sets the REQ line low.
5. The UltraVim executes the command.
6. The UltraVim sets the ACK line low.
7. The host checks the error bit for errors.
The following diagram shows the general timing of the host communications to inspect a
part with the UltraVim. Assume that a part file has already been loaded.
1 3
Host REQ
2
UltraVim ACK
4 5
UltraVim BUSY
1. The host must hold a part over the reticle, set the command bits (A4-A7)
to the Inspect command, and send the REQ bit high to start the inspection.
2. As soon as the UltraVim sees the REQ bit high, it sets the ACK bit high
and starts the image acquisition.
3. The host acknowledges the start of inspection by setting the REQ bit low.
The REQ line must be set low as soon as the ACK line goes high.
4. When the image has been acquired the UltraVim sets the BUSY line high.
The host may move the part away from the reticle when this line goes high.
5. When the results have been computed, the UltraVim sets the result bits,
then sets the ACK and BUSY lines low. This tells the host that the
results are ready.
Ver 5.5 127

E.9 Mark Inspection Timing Diagram
The general sequence for all Mark Inspection commands is shown below:
1 3
Host RQ2
2 4
Mark AK2
1. The host must make sure the part is under the mark inspection camera.
Then the host sets the RQ2 line high.
2. The Mark Inspection program sees the RQ2 line high, and sets the AK2
line after the image is acquired. The host may move the part as soon as AK2 goes
high.
3. The host acknowledges the start of inspection by setting the RQ2 line low.
The RQ2 line must be set low as soon as the ACK2 line goes high.
4. When the image has been processed and the RS2A and RS2B results are
ready, the mark inspection system sets the AK2 line low again.
Note that this timing diagram applies to the RQ3 and RQ4 lines as well. See the table

After an inspection is complete, the UltraVim returns the part results and its position over
the center of the reticle. The channels C0 – C7 contain the X position information. The
following example code shows how to calculate the position in mils. To get the Y
position information, send command 13 and the C0 – C7 lines will show the Y
information instead of the X information.

E.13 Part Angle
After an inspection is complete, the UltraVim returns can report the part angle with
respect to the center of the reticle. To get this information, you must send the command
to get the angle by setting A7=1, A6=1, A5=0, and A4=0 (ID=12). After the command
has been set, set the request line high to report the angle in output channels C0 – C7.
This will report the angle up to +/- 12.7 degrees. The following example code shows how

F. Inspecting Multiple Parts

The UltraVim software has the ability to inspect multiple parts an one time. This requires
some additional parameters entered in the part file, and the correct digital I/O lines to be
set. Note that for leaded parts, the UltraVim software can only inspect more than one part
only if they are two-sided parts.
F.1 Part File Setup

In the part maintenance screen, click on the Tolerances button and you will see the
multiple part setup in the lower right section. Click on the number of parts you wish to
inspect at one time, then enter the distance between the parts in the pitch feild. The pitch
parameter is the distance from the center of one part to the distance to the center of the
next part.
The diagram below shows the proper centering of the parts of the inspection reticle.
Note that each part must be the same distance from the center of the reticle. For BGA
parts, the datum lines of the reticle still apply, even though the reticle is not required for
the inspection.
Pitch Pitch
Ver 5.5 134

F.2 Digital I/O Setup

For inspection of multiple parts, a new command is required. The INSPZ command tells
the software to do a new inspection without grabbing a new image. For Mark Inspection,
the INSMZ command does the same thing.
The Digital I/O Setup can be set up many ways, but to maintain asynchronous
communication with both the UltraVim and Mark Inspection software, the following
method is recommended. The steps for this setup are:
1. Enter the INSPZ command in the HWARE32.ini file.

2. Enter the INSMZ command in the MARK32.ini file.
3. Use command lines A4,A5,A6 for UltraVim.
4. Use command line A7 for Mark Inspection.
5. Use data lines B0,B1 for UltraVim.
6. Use data lines B2,B3,B4 for Mark Inspection.
INI Files
The recommended Digital I/O setup for multiple parts is shown below. Note that the
commands in the HWARE32.ini file are repeated starting with ID=08. Also, in the
MARK32.ini file, the command changes to INSMZ starting with ID=08.
