Introduction

Depending upon the type of interface in use, you can access some or all of
the information listed below:
•
Warning and Pass/Fail data.
•
Numerical inspection results.
•
Configuration data.
With each inspection that the CVIM module performs, individual bits are set.
There are 128 bits that can be read as inputs to a host device. These bits (part
of the inspection results) indicate:
•
Master fault.
•
Mastership.
•
Configuration fault.
•
Module Busy flag.
•
Missed Trigger flag.
•
Results Valid flag.
•
Inspection Tool Pass/Fail/Warning flags.
There are 128 bits that can be set as outputs by a host device to control the
operation of the CVIM module. These bits control:
•
Monitor display.
•
Inspection trigger.
•
Toolset selection.
•
Enable/disable and force discrete I/O.
•
Selection of operation after reject.
•
Memory storage location. RAM, EEPROM, RAM Card, or external host
memory.
Note: For more information on the 128 discrete input and 128 discrete output bits
refer to Appendix B.
