If a poor solder joint is the cause of a defect, then a full color image of a good solder joint can be displayed as part of the defect notification. The typical Analysis Component helps make intelligent decisions during repair operations. It normally contains two basic functions. The first is a decision tree, created by an application such as Microsoft's Troubleshooter, which can be configured by experienced technicians to aid in expediting the required repair. With Router Solutions' vast background in ECAD databases, we have developed a viewer that transcends the entire spectrum of data available in the PCB data file.
Nothing is left to interpretation, nothing is hidden and nothing is left behind.
To keep the user interface simple, a selection of simplified view buttons immediately sets the current PCB to a consistent image and color scheme. Data is normalized into a clear and easily understandable interface. This can be done by request or automatically. It is by this method that the user can identify an entity in the graphic display and the CMC can respond with the proper actions, dependent upon the entity type and name identified. Data Preparation Component Contrary to popular belief, CAD data is not perfect.
