In the operation execution step wherein the operation switches are clicked to execute the operation related to product-type switching, if the substrate presence/absence detecting sensors S, Sthat detect the presence/absence of substrates in the front-side substrate transporting mechanismA and rear-side substrate transporting mechanismB detect the presence of substrates, it is judged that the manufacturing operation of the corresponding substrate type has not ended, and the input control processing is executed so that the input operation by the operation switch for executing the operation related to product-type switching is prohibited. As a result, it is possible to prevent the problems related to reloading of the mounting program before the manufacturing has ended.

In an operation performing step which performs operations associated with the device type changing by operating operation switches such as a 'file operation' () which are displayed by selecting a 'device type changing' () which is displayed in an operation screen () on an operation panel, when a non-object mounting lane except an operation object performs operation actions, the inputting of the operations with the operation switches is permitted and the inputting of the operations with a lane specifying switch () is prohibited so that a second mounting lane (L) which is producing will not become an object of the inputting of operations.

A multicore optical fiber with an integral diffractive element. The multicore optical fiber includes: a first optical fiber core formed of a non-photosensitive material having an initial index of refraction; and a second optical fiber core including a second longitudinal core axis substantially parallel to the first longitudinal axis. The first optical fiber core includes: a first longitudinal core axis; and a number of index-altered portions having an altered index of refraction which is different from the initial index of refraction. The index-altered portions are arranged within the non-photosensitive material of the first optical fiber core to form a diffractive structure of the integral diffractive element.

A high-precision inspection apparatus and method for inspecting a large board with a line sensor camera, the coordinate positions of correction marks on a pair of holding members are read by the camera and compared with predetermined coordinates, and an amount of positional discrepancy of the board is computed. The board is adjusted according to the positional discrepancy, if necessary, and then scanned.
