Patent ID: 6985220

Claim:
A method of tuning an inspection system, the method comprising the steps of: a. sensing characteristics of an inspection piece using the inspection system, b. analyzing the sensed characteristics to identify anomalies having location information and level information, c. analyzing the level information of the anomalies with an initial set of thresholds of inspection system parameters, d. flagging as defects an initial portion of the anomalies based on the analysis of the level information in step c, e. displaying a summary of the flagged anomalies, f. selectively changing at least one of the inspection system parameters to form a modified set of thresholds of the inspection system parameters, g. analyzing the level information of the anomalies with the modified set of thresholds of the inspection system parameters, h. flagging as defects an updated portion of the anomalies based on the analysis of the level information in step g, i. displaying a summary of the flagged anomalies, j. selectively repeating steps f through i, and k. storing the modified set of thresholds of the inspection system parameters for use in an inspection system recipe.
