1.1 1700 Series Overview
The In-Sight
®
1700 series of high performance vision sensors are image formation
systems for reading identification marks on silicon wafers. Featuring a vision processor,
advanced lighting and optics, and built-in networking support and serial communications,
the compact 1700 readers can be utilized in virtually any back-end wafer fab process.
The In-Sight 1700 wafer reader series includes the following models:
! In-Sight 1700: 640 x 480 image resolution, fixed working distance
! In-Sight 1701: 1024 x 768 image resolution, variable working distance
The 1700 wafer reader is configured remotely over a network using a standard Internet
browser. This browser interface also allows remote monitoring of the reader’s operation
during runtime. The 1700 may also be controlled remotely from users’ custom application
programs using In-Sight Native Mode commands to change settings and retrieve read
results.
