Abstract:
A method for creating interface wiring on a printed wiring board (PWB) by using an interface tool, the PWB having a first adaptor with pins for connecting to an outside circuit and a second adaptor with pins for connecting to the interface tool, and the interface tool having a first face with first parallel printed wires, a second face with second parallel printed wires orthogonal to the first printed wires, a third adaptor and a fourth adaptor, said method comprising the steps of:(a) determining wiring connections between the pins of the first adaptor and the pins of the second adaptor; (b) connecting the first adaptor to the third adaptor and connecting the second adaptor to the fourth adaptor; (c) drilling a hole through the interface tool at an intersection of one of the first printed wires and one of the second printed wires; (d) making the hole conductive based on the determined wiring connections; and (e) repeating steps (c) and (d) to complete the determined wiring connections, wherein the determined wiring connections between the pins of the first adaptor and the pins of the second adaptor are created through the conductive holes made in step (d).
