Highlights
- Improved the BPWin API to provide users the option to allow BPWin to show message boxes that require operator intervention. By default, the API is aimed to run BPWin unassisted, but this new feature helps users who plan to interact with it in order to resolve arising issues during operation. This feature can be enabled via registry key “ForceToPopupMessageUsingAPI” in the path “BP Microsystems\BPWin\Configuration”.
- Improved RPI format data parser to support listing optional configurations with no right value assignment. RPI is a format specific to Renesas devices.
- Improved software by allowing users to customize the maximum runout threshold for Autohandler Systems. This customization can be done via the registry keys “UpperRunoutRange_mils” and “LowerRunoutRange_mils” in the path “BP Microsystems\BPWin\AutoHandler\Components\Pnp\NozzleRunout”.
- Updated continuity check to improve performance with low voltage devices on all site generations.
Other Updates
- Fixed an issue on the 3X autohandlers where the laser diagnostics dialog would allow the laser door, elevator, and nozzles to move while the door was open.
- Fixed an issue happening after placing a device that sticks to the tip of the nozzle for a few milliseconds. In that event, the device was being grabbed again during upward motion due to incorrectly turning the vacuum on too soon. This issue was only affecting 3X autohandler systems with the LNC-120 Cyber Camera.

BPWin Highlights
- The CyberOptics LNC120 camera was made more robust to recover from Ethernet communication failures and temporary power loss.
- Improved the stepper motor control on 9th Gen sites to extend motor life and to balance pressure plate actuation.
- Implemented better error detection in the vacuum system on 4000 Series and 3000 Series APS with on-the-fly vision alignment.
Device Programming Enhancements
- BERT values can now be changed during successive jobs for raw NAND programming on 9th Gen sites. The BERT setting allows the user to determine how many bit errors per page are acceptable for your job.
- Added a feature to the Motorola MHX format to save the ranges containing data. Certain devices require this feature to program the default buffer value.
- Software identifies the correct site number when a 9th Gen site fails memory card initialization.
Other Updates
- Resolved intermittent BPWin crash when launching Windows 10.
- Corrected placement at the reject location when there are alignment failures in the 4000 series APS.
- Improved error messaging to warn an operator when they have the wrong socket cards installed.
- Eliminated false errors logged in the Blackbox log file.

BPWin Highlights
Device Programming Enhancements
- Improved 9th Gen compatibility with previous generation programmers
- Updated continuity check to improve performance with low voltage devices
- Implemented automatic updates for sites with hardware revision IPR-106
- Improved the image format tool time performance for HS200/400 devices
- Fixed hardware timeout issues during 9th Gen diagnostics with certain socket cards
Other Updates
- Added support to allow for installing multiple Device Support Update (DSU) versions with the same BPWin version on the programmer’s host computer
- Fixed a crash when accessing the JobMaster Configure dialog without running as Administrator
- Fixed BPWin Launcher to work with versions later than 6.4.0

BPM 3000/4000 Series Autohandler
- Released 4900 optional field upgrades for enhanced reliability and ease of use.
- Implemented the ability to adjust the inspection height for Scanner Tech 3D systems. If the default device measurements do not produce the optimal inspection height, the operator can now fine-tune height offsets to maximize yield.
- Enabled the Real-Time Job Summary report by default. If for any reason the system shuts down unexpectedly, the Job Summary is captured up to that moment and available for review.
Device Programming Enhancements
- Automatically reload BP file when switching programmer model in BPWin to ensure the correct device configuration options are set.
Other Updates
- Fixed an issue observed with certain devices where the program and verify operations would fail when using multiple sites.
- Fixed an issue that began with BPWin 6.4.3 where the program operation would not begin if pre-session diagnostics is enabled.
- Resolved a bug on 9th Gen that caused certain socket cards to fail diagnostics.

BPM 3000/4000 Series Autohandler
- Improved the accuracy of the package auto-measure feature for leaded devices. The dimensional data gathered by the CyberOptics alignment camera is automatically populated into the package fields, reducing operator input.
- The package-teach pick/place overdrive settings have been updated to include better default values for WhisperTeach systems to make the initial package setup faster.
- Allowed BPWin to accommodate FVEG3 socket cards properly.
- Added the ability to pause a job when a socket reaches its preset maintenance interval. This feature is enabled via a registry key.
Device Programming Enhancements
- We added the ability for BPWin to identify and properly ID manual 9th generation programmers. These manual programmers IDed as “Automated Sites” will now be updated. JobMaster files are compatible; however, we recommend you resave the “.bp” file to eliminate the warning message that appears when loading.
- Fixed the Image Formatting Tool to support DDR algorithms.
- Updated the initialization sequence for 1-Up 9th Gen d-cards, improving yield.
Other Updates
- Fixed a “Debug Assertion Failed” error message with expression “c>=-1 && c<=255” when loading data files with special ASCII characters.
Windows 10 Support
