Release Notes on BPWin Software

BPWin Highlights

• The CyberOptics LNC120 camera was made more robust to recover from Ethernet communication failures and temporary power loss.
• Improved the stepper motor control on 9th Gen sites to extend motor life and to balance pressure plate actuation.
• Implemented better error detection in the vacuum system on 4000 Series and 3000 Series APS with on-the-fly vision alignment.

Device Programming Enhancements

• BERT values can now be changed during successive jobs for raw NAND programming on 9th Gen sites. The BERT setting allows the user to determine how many bit errors per page are acceptable for your job.
• Added a feature to the Motorola MHX format to save the ranges containing data. Certain devices require this feature to program the default buffer value.
• Software identifies the correct site number when a 9th Gen site fails memory card initialization.

Other Updates

• Resolved intermittent BPWin crash when launching Windows 10.
• Corrected placement at the reject location when there are alignment failures in the 4000 series APS.
• Improved error messaging to warn an operator when they have the wrong socket cards installed.
• Eliminated false errors logged in the Blackbox log file.

BPWin Highlights

• Windows 10 Support
  Many of you have asked for Windows 10 support for BPWin– it’s now available with the launch of version 7.0.0. BPWin is currently compatible with Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 10, 64-Bit operating system; users can now take advantage of the newest Windows operating system with greater speed, security, and access to the latest OS updates. Please contact Inside Sales to determine if you need additional hardware for your Automated Programming System, including:
  • FPCAUTO06 host computer
  • Galil 4040 Motion Controller
  • Fiber Laser – Prolase 10 Dongle
  • Valid Software Support Contract
  • ScannerTech 3D Inspection – updated Host Controller Card

  Manual programmers require a host computer with 2.0 GHz processing speed or faster, Minimum 2GB RAM, 500GB Hard Drive (SSD Recommended) and a current software support agreement.

Device Programming Enhancements

• Improved 9th Gen compatibility with previous generation programmers
• Updated continuity check to improve performance with low voltage devices
• Implemented automatic updates for sites with hardware revision IPR-106
• Improved the image format tool time performance for HS200/400 devices
• Fixed hardware timeout issues during 9th Gen diagnostics with certain socket cards

Other Updates

• Added support to allow for installing multiple Device Support Update (DSU) versions with the same BPWin version on the programmer’s host computer
• Fixed a crash when accessing the JobMaster Configure dialog without running as Administrator
• Fixed BPWin Launcher to work with versions later than 6.4.0

BPM 3000/4000 Series Autohandler

• Released 4900 optional field upgrades for enhanced reliability and ease of use.
• Implemented the ability to adjust the inspection height for Scanner Tech 3D systems. If the default device measurements do not produce the optimal inspection height, the operator can now fine-tune height offsets to maximize yield.
• Enabled the Real-Time Job Summary report by default. If for any reason the system shuts down unexpectedly, the Job Summary is captured up to that moment and available for review.

Device Programming Enhancements

• Automatically reload BP file when switching programmer model in BPWin to ensure the correct device configuration options are set.

Other Updates

• Fixed an issue observed with certain devices where the program and verify operations would fail when using multiple sites.
• Fixed an issue that began with BPWin 6.4.3 where the program operation would not begin if pre-session diagnostics is enabled.
• Resolved a bug on 9th Gen that caused certain socket cards to fail diagnostics.
