Anyone familiar with measuremind vison software ? We measure all of our DIE profiles on a OGP vision scope running measuremind. The inspector told me that the software is not capable of measuring MMC /LMC and we do that with our QC-CALC software. What really spurred the conversation is that we need to add MMC on a slot and he said he just cannot do it. He said we have the most recent version of the software as well. Does anyone know anything that could help me point him in the right direction or at least leave me confused on how a software in 2020 isnt capable of such a basic function ?
The more I look at Vision machines and their history the more that it seems they were developed to check printed circuit board patterns and thru holes very quickly. Not a lot of GD&T on a printed circuit board..... They've tried to graft on some other capabilities but that's not their bread and butter. Don't know how many significant changes have happened in the software but I'm sure that the core is at least 20 years old. That's when our OGP was bought with a Measure Mind package. We've kept up to date with the revisions but I've never heard of any earth shattering improvements. Just llike PC DMIS the core of the software is pretty much the same as it's always been.

yes, MeasurMind is actually programmed with old DOS-level PYTHON code, and is essentially software capability-locked until they make a major shift. That's where Zone3 comes into play. it's an add-on software, but only more recently made OGP's can handle it. We've got seven OGP's on site, and only 3 are capable of Zone3. nobody on site has had a need to validate it tho. lol.
