I'm looking to support our inspectors with some in-house refresher training. Is there any software that could be used to allow inspectors to test their inspection skills? I'm thinking of either sample pictures with known defects or a program that can procedurally generate pictures of random circuits with known defects present. Apart from the are there any other recommended methods or ways to measure or improve inspector performance, excepting the official IPC training courses that is?

Yep... didn't do the same, but worked in it for many years... :-) It was always interesting to see the look on a backhoe operators face when they pull up the colored roots, kind of messy "eh"? And, NO, I'm not from there but I did some work there also... Later...

I did live in Canada for 3 years when I was 19,20,21. Worked for Canada Telephone as a lineman, traveling all over the country, coast to coast, repairing phone lines. Lived up northeast of Flin Flon on a Cree Indian reservation. Best three years of my life; I never should have come home.

How marginal is marginal? What is the lead finish? Are the pad connected to a ground plane? What is your reflow profile?

Or should a different flux type be selected. Application is ground based/hi-rel (non flight). Flowdown is J-001 (not space addendum). Thanks….
