Generate an Automated optical inspection (AOI) report using FAB 3000.

What is AOI report?
FAB 3000 can now generate an Automated optical inspection (AOI) report. Used by automated visual inspection of a PCB where a camera autonomously scans the device under test for both catastrophic failure and quality defects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_optical_inspection

Here's how to generate an AOI Report:

  1. Select tab "Featured Tools", and select command "Generate AOI Panel Report".
  2. Select the folder where you wish to have JSON and Image files exported.
  3. Verify Options below, and Press OK.

Export Folder:  Select the default folder location to have FAB 3000 export AOI Report.

Cell Name (Lowest Unit):  Name of lowest level Cell inserted in the panel.  Choose from the pull-down.

Cell Reference Point:  Select the Cell Unit reference point used for the AOI Report.   Default: Origin. 

  • Origin: The Cell Insert Point will be used.
  • Center: The Cell Center will be used.

Image Format:   Choose Import format type: TIFF, BMP, JPEG, PNG.  Default: TIFF

Image Resolution (micrometer/pixel):   Choose Import resolution in micrometer/pixel.  Default: 1.0

Image Appearance:  Choose how output images appear in the AOI Report.  Default: Realistic PCB

  • Realistic PCB: Images appear as a real PCB.
  • CAM Editor: Images appear as in CAM Editor mode. (Only visible layers will be used in image generation).
  • Monochrome (Black/White): Images appear as black/white.    (Only visible layers will be used in image generation). 

Report Units:    Choose Units for the AOI Report.  Default: Metric

Report File Type:    Choose File format output type: JSON, CSV, EXCEL.  Default: JSON

ROI Attributes (Fiducials, etc.):     ROI Attributes are used to pinpoint ANY Fiducials, Drills, Alignment marks, or other regions of interest

When using intelligent data (such as ODB++, 2581, or by assigning attributes in the CAM editor) containing attributes.   

ROI Attributes are defined by pair NAME:VALUE    VALUE is optional. Wildcards(*) are also acceptable.

Multiple ROI Attributes may be separated by semicolon(;).  Ex  .string:ty_expo;.fiducial_name

Here's a tutorial movie (no sound) demonstrating the complete process:

The FAB 3000 output can be customized to meet any machine specific requirements.  Please contact our support team for more information about customizations
