x|act software is available in three versions: x|act base, x|act operator, and x|act pro. All versions offer easier operation than previous packages, allow- ing more reliable inspection. Simple macro recording per- mits intuitive programming of inspection tasks in terms of position and imaging parame- ters, with all display settings saved with just one mouse click. Automatically created sample maps can be used for all PCBs of the same type any- where in the system, even when rotated and flipped, and automatic image enhancement improves live images to ensure greater precision of defect detection. Additional software fea-
tures included in the x|act operator upgrade package include the facility to introduce a live CAD data overlay, automated saving of results, images and X-ray sample maps and CAD-based programming. The pad IDs can be viewed in
the live image as an overlay at any time and from any viewing angle. This always enables quick and pre- cise solder joint mapping even with manual inspection. In addition to all the features of
the first two versions, users who upgrade to x|act pro can enjoy CAD- based image processing as well as statistical review based on inspection results and 3D auto-referencing for optimized positioning accuracy to a few micrometers. To keep program- ming time to a minimum, x|act oper- ator and x|act pro import the CAD data of the PCB and create a model, which facilitates navigation and also enables inspection strategies to be assigned to the individual compo- nents to be inspected. Within x|act pros library are inspection strategies
with all of the information required for automatic inspection for many common solder joint types. After the inspection strategies have been

assigned, the views required and inspection program are generated automatically. With CAD-based pro- gramming, all of the programming steps can be performed offline at a separate workstation, meaning that the inspection system is not blocked during programming. It also means that programs can be transferred to every x|act-capable phoenix|x-ray system. Both phoenix nanome|x and
microme|x X-ray inspection systems have an open 180kV, 15- or 20Watt nanofocus or microfocus X-ray tube and the option of the companys unusual temperature stabilized DXR detector technology, which ensures brilliant live inspection images at 30 frames per second. 3D computed tomography (CT) scans of small elec- tronic devices are also a possible option for advanced 3D failure analy- sis tasks.
