Multiple filter options for maximize signal: noise ratios. Multiple filter options for maximize signal: noise ratios. 
Many types of electronic filters are resident in the system, including two-dimensional filtering, all software settable. Additionally, the effect of various thresholds and filters on the defect image can be tested after the defect is captured. This is an INVALUABLE tool to allow simple and fast establishment of classification rules.

Streak and Scratch detection.
Fine streak and scratches, oriented in the machine direction, often produce very low signal levels. To detect these, a special hardware module must perform the detection in parallel to the rest of the detection electronics. This ensures detection of all defects even during periods of high defect loading.

Accurate defect tracking, in MD and CD.
Defect position is tracked precisely in both machine-direction and cross-direction. 

Coating uniformity module.
Unique coating uniformity module allows coaters to detect some degree of coating irregularity with special noise measurement
algorithms.

Real time operating system.
System architecture is based on real-time, proprietary operating system. Linux is employed between the real-time code and the operator station.
