There is a way to copy the setup file as well. I've done and used them to create work instructions for the operators, but since I don't have the machine right in front of me, I don't remember exactly what file to export.

AR, thank you, that was very helpful. I'm not well versed (actually not versed at all) in writing macros but I've got a kid here that's dieing to tweak this data with some Java voodoo that he does.

Questions are: * Do these pads take solder? How well? * Have you stripped the gold and evaluated the condition of the nickel?

Hi, in past we had an issue with ENIG surface, black was Ni that get pass the Au - but it was discovered after reflow (SnPb) and the IC was losing contact with Cu tracks...at customers application :| Reason was as I remember too thin Au sufrace... w

Hi Davef, Thanks for the reply. There seem to be no issues on SMT reflow based on some samples done. We have not stripped the gold yet. We did a X-section+EDX and we are seeing traces of copper on the nickel layer. Any idea what is the implication of

Actually, you will be soldering and wire bonding to the palladium layer, so we should have asked if you checked that layer, rather than the nickel. We not sure of the source of the copper that your see on EDX. It's possible copper from the pad migra

EDS @ 10kV maybe going too deep. I've talked to a surface science physicist that recommends Auger spectroscopy because it's more of a true "surface" examination tool.

Is it a clamshell type printer, opens on a hinge? If so you will never be able to reliably print with that type of printer. We had one of their printers and were never able to get it to print fine pitch reliably. It has nothing to do with the oper

We went with a DEK ELA automated printer and have never been happier. We print down to 16mil (.4mm) with great results. I know this may be beyond your budget but just look for a printer that raises straight off the board with no hinge. James
