4-4-1  Setting the Operation Mode
You can execute the measurement process with a multi-core CPU to inspect more measurement tar-
gets in less time than conventional processing would allow. This mode uses up to four CPU cores (or 
eight threads) on a CPU that take turns in the execution of a single inspection flow every time the STEP 
signal is input.
Refer to Multi-input Function on page 4-16.
• The transaction time for a single workpiece is shorter if parallel processing is enabled to 
allow parallel execution of the measurement flow.
Refer to 4-4-2 Parallel Processing on page 4-29.
• It is assumed that the [Double Speed multi-input] will be used together with the multi-input 
function. Refer to Multi-input Function before you use the Double Speed Multi-input. When 
the multi-input function cannot be used, the Double Speed Multi-input mode is not available. 
Choose another mode than the Double Speed Multi-input mode.
Refer to Multi-input Function on page 4-16.
• Certain processing items, such as Serial Output, Parallel Output, and Parallel Judgement 
Output, may slow the performance of the Double Speed Multi-input mode if they are pro-
grammed in the first half of the flow. If the performance drops significantly, consider the use 
of parallel processing.
• Some processing items, such as Trend Monitor and Last NG Display, may not function cor-
rectly if Double Speed Multi-input is used. Do not use them. Calculation items that use the 
numeric values from a previous STEP may not calculate correctly.
• You cannot use Simplified Non-stop Adjustment Mode during Double Speed Multi-input.
• External commands to obtain and set unit data will not operate correctly. Do not use them.
• If you use external commands, the BUSY signal will remain ON during command execution 
longer than for other operation modes.
• Compared with other operation modes, it will take more time to perform processing which 
includes screen transition, such as Scene switch,  Scene group switch and Edit flow.
