CAMALOT have a really good conversion system, COPS. It takes the placment machine data, which you have to generate anyway, and converts this instantly to the glue or solder pattern of the board required. You can also edit this file to change all the

I used CircuitCAM to convert my 3AV programs to VIOS programs. Then I massaged the VIOS files with PPS. You won't get a perfect conversion though, you'll need to re-teach the board origin on the Topaz and update the parts. The offline software for

1) Is it possible that there is another program for the board w/o without the block conversion? Renaming instead of copying the file to a new name is one mistake I won't make again! 2) Are there "notes" in the last column of the placement data? If t

Hi, you can generate your prgm without any gerber date, you should save an image and after that just paste your components, you can also use Multiform software to convert CAD data into Omron data file, which can be used to generate the final prgm. Bu

I have a simple battery powered led array pcb that is turned on and off via rf remote. I want to modify it so that it turns off after 90 seconds, and it flashes or blinks every second or so during those ninety seconds. Can anyone suggest a forum or w

I use a program called Cad2Cad to convert the data for our Opals. It was given to me by the Assembleon sales rep when we were shopping machines. It was free at the time but I'm not sure if you have to be under contract to get it from them now. I take

Sarason, Thanks for the information. I will look into your program, but it appears to be similar to one I have produced myself. I can convert between the CAD and loading reasonably well for our RH2/RH6, but cannot communicate with them online to sen

The pin outs are not mirrored. The proper data files usually come on a disk and are usually inside one of the cabinets on the machine. Chances are that the proper data disk is MCS formatted. In order to extract the proper data from the disk you woul

My regards to everyone. I have to agree with previous message. I've written macro in excel to modify protel pik file to whatever form I need (and I need PCB file for MYDATA) Takes about 5-10min to come up with workable program. the only problem tha

GerberGrab does exactly this, and it's low cost, and you can use it for a month for free. It is a sophisticated but easy to use reverse engineering tool which will automatically generate top / bottom BOMs with placement and rotation after teaching of
