Abstract
A process includes receiving a target quality value, receiving a measured quality value, receiving a source quality value, and sending a source control instruction. The source control instruction is based at least in part on the target quality value, the measured quality value, and the source quality value. The target quality value, the measured quality value, the source quality value, and the source control instruction are communicated via the communication port. The measured quality value is generated by an inspection device configured to inspect a sample. The source quality value is associated with a quality level of a first group of samples. The target quality value indicates a desired quality value of an output group of samples. The source control instruction causes a source selecting device to select one of a plurality of groups of samples, each group having identified quality characteristics.
