6 Reverse Engineering of Microcircuits
(1) Sets the program to the size of the digitalized sample;
(2) Shoots the necessary frame with the “Save” button of the NLSAVER program;
(3) Skips the unnecessary frame with the “Skip” button of the NLSAVER program.
After inspection of the digitalized sample, the program generates a file of video
image of the photographed frames.
NLSAVER saves the user from
• Manual movement of the microscope table;
• Manual generation of the names of frames taken.
Programs NLAUTO and PICOAUTO are designed for automatic digitalization
of the topology. The term “automatic digitalization” here means that the user of the
program performs the following actions:
(1) Sets the program to the size of the digitalized sample;
(2) Sets the image definition at three points of the sample;
(3) Photographs the entire sample after pressing the “Save” button in the NLAUTO
program.
Automatic photographing process can be interrupted by pressing the “Stop” button
(e.g., for manual adjustment of the image definition).
After inspection of the digitalized sample, the program generates a file of video
image of the photographed frames.
NLAUTO saves the user from
• Manual movement of the microscope table;
• Manual generation of the names of frames taken.
PHOTOPREVIEW is designed to view, format, adjust, and print video image
files.
PHOTOPREVIEW is designed for operation within the framework of a standard
set of technical and software means of the WINDOWS operating system on personal
computers.
Minimum requirements for technical means are determined by Windows XP
installation requirements.
The use of graphs within the framework of this software for quick operation
requires a high screen resolution and large video memory size.
With small amount of graphics memory, the speed of the highlighting decreases.
On screens with low resolution, the quality of the displayed information will be
lower.
PHOTOPREVIEW software generates and corrects video image files. The video
image is described in the special file format CTW. This is a text file of references to
video image frames. Its structure is as follows:
