Chris, Remember this from Agilent, or HP before separation by any other name? VISTA is a acronym for "Visual Inspection Statistical Tracking and Analysis". The VISTA system is a defect and time study data collection system which runs on UNIX. The VISTA system gives a board or panoramic view of quality and flow of boards in the production area. The VISTA system allows the user to input defect data. The data can then be used by engineers and production to track quality and flow of boards in production. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
