  Triton Part Programs
</h2>

Part Programs enable automated, end-to-end CT inspection on Lumafield Triton scanners by defining how parts are identified, scanned, analyzed, and evaluated. They represent Lumafield's most advanced automated inspection solution for production environments.

### **Anatomy of a Part Program**

Every Triton Part Program relies on four core components:

* **Part Template:** Specifies the part being scanned
* **Scan Recipe:** Dictates the scanner acquisition settings and parameters
* **Analysis Recipe:** Defines the post-scan data processing and analysis
* **Decision:** Establishes the criteria used to judge a part as **Pass** or **Fail**

### Operating modes

Part Programs run in one of two modes depending on your production line workflow:

| **Operating Mode**  | **Best For**         | **Description**                                                                                                          |
| :------------------ | :------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Continuous Mode** | Single Part          | Runs a single Part Program repeatedly on loop until manually stopped. Ideal for dedicated, single-part production lines. |
| **Triggered Mode**  | High-Mix, Multi-Part | Automatically reads an RFID tag embedded on the fixture pallet and switches to the matching Part Program on the fly.     |

### **Automated vs. operator-guided decision workflows**

While Part Programs are designed to run fully automatically, you can configure how final pass/fail decisions are made:

* **Automated pass/fail:** The Triton reads the pallet's RFID key, executes the matching program, automatically creates the scan project, and evaluates the part using the Analysis Recipe—returning an immediate pass/fail verdict with zero operator interaction
* **Operator-guided decisions:** For complex inspections requiring visual verification, programs can present the completed scan to an operator with overlaid go/no-go reference lines or other visual aids, allowing the operator to make the final manual pass/fail determination
