Semiconductor Toolkit not displaying background maps

[#1]

Hi folks;

I have downloaded the latest Semiconductor Toolkit from Marketplace for JMP 19.

I tried to reproduce a set of wafer maps outlined in the tutorial by selecting a 300 mm map as a background map and using the example data set included with the toolkit.

When I display my data, the background maps do not appear.  Instead, the heatmaps are all square maps.

Has anybody else encountered this?

Hi all,

had the same issue and copy / paste the folder did the job. Thanks! Very nice fancy toolkit. As this seems to be a path issue, anyway it can be fixed in the next update for all the maps or new install?

Best,

Hubert

looks like they changed the path variable on me!  I'll get an update out on that ASAP.

I had to create mapscaler script to fix scaling issues with the JMP maps, and for that I had to figure out where all the map files are. There are two possible locations (I assume this is still true for JMP19) I did something like this (for windows)

Names Default To Here(1);

mapdir1 = Convert File Path("$JMP_HOME/Maps/", windows);
mapdir2 = Convert File Path(Word([1 -3], Get Path Variable("$HOME"), "/") || "/JMP/Maps/", windows);

show(mapdir1, mapdir2);

I also slightly expect this to break at some point

I’m using the included JMP path variables that point to both. I just need to figure out why it’s working fine for some and not others.

Could it just be a difference between Mac and Windows for the path variables?  Scripting Guide > Types of Data > Path Variables 

[#7]

No, the way I’m dealing with it works on both Mac and pc. It also doesn’t explain why it works fine on some PC installs and not others.

Hi Mike;

Just to refresh your memory, I was working with Laura at Tech Support to get the proper background maps to display.  With her assistance, we were able to get the background maps to display correctly using the example data set provided.  However, when I tried to apply the background maps to a data set of my own it also had problems.  Attached is my example data set.  It is a simple 6 column data table with x, y, Response, Point, and Label.  My goal is to display a set of contour maps by Label with x, y and Response as the axes for plotting.  When I do this, I still cannot display the background map.  When I showed the data to Laura, after applying the changes she recommended to work for your example data set, she said she could not get it to work either and that I should reach out to you again.

Can you please assist?

thanks,

jc

P.S.  Here is a copy of my thread with Laura in Tech Support.

Hi Jonathan,

Sorry for the delay.  Unfortunately I think you will have to go back to the developer of the add-in (Mike Anderson) to assist with your dataset.  I wasn't able to get it working either with the information I was able to find.  In general JMP Technical Support provides support for out of the box functionality of JMP.  The background map functionality that is being leveraged by the add-in would fall under that out of the box functionality, so I was able to assist with that, but I think we have swung back too far the other way into the custom capabilities of the add-in and we will need to reengage the add-in developer.  Thank you for your understanding!

Kind regards,

Laura Archer

@StandardCrow102 - the current issue you're seeing is a units mismatch.  The maps are expecting mm's and your coordinate data is in um.  Now, there is a checkmark that you can use to tell the STK about the data being in um, but it's not behaving - so I need to fix that.  But the good news is that you just need to divide your x and y values by 1000 and everything should work.

I just pushed out an update to the STK that should address this issue.  Give it a try and let me know.
