NOTE: Layout Viewer FA Mode does NOT produce an inspection routine and therefore should only be
used in cases where speed is critical and the need for follow on automated inspections are either not
necessary or can be put off for later, when time permits.
Best Practice: It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that First Article Inspections be performed in
AOI Mode as a standard practice. First Article Inspection using AOI Mode is only slightly more time
consuming, but produces automated test routines that can be used on all subsequent PCBAs of the
same type. However, we understand that there are rare instances were FA Mode can be useful – it is
therefore STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to use FA Mode ONLY in these special cases.
