Abstract

A method of checking a process of individually inspecting successive sets of one or more images displayed on a screen, includes the steps of displaying at least one predetermined image having at least one area of interest for which inspection is to be performed, temporarily preventing a new set of at least one image from being displayed, recording each time that an event occurs at a predetermined location in such at least one image, and permitting a new set of at least one image to be displayed after the event has been recorded as having occurred at all predetermined areas of interest in the current display.
