We've all been soldering Pb free parts for a couple decades. All your surface mount capacitors have probably had a Sn finish for years. Whenever one of our parts with a SnPb finish converts for Pb free we have the manufacturing site do a small buil

What version of sw are you running? There are some new features in 2.7.7 and earlier that may be of benefit to you. With chip caps you are testing for presense/absense. The gain/offset feature can be used to give you better contrast between the pa

Hi there Gary, Your solder ball problem is very similar the problem I experienced, but I was using a water soluble paste at the time. It started by inspectors telling me that they were seeing cold solder on some SIMM's that we had built regularly. W
