What is BS ? I am not trying to sell - up to each person to take look...just highlighting as possible solution. I just wanted to highlight should take a look at vPlan as possible solution - of course many ways to skin a cat. I have worked in CAD-CAM

that would be great steve! I have been using the cad2cad program to get familiar with it. Here is another stupid question. Lets say that i get a new board to program, can't i just use a previous board on cad2cad and just change/del/add the coordinat

You'd still have to change all of the part library references, make up new ones for new parts, enter feeder sizes, etc. More trouble than it's worth, once you know how to use the software and prep your cad data to be compatible with it. There are lo

You'll have to get the cad data from someone, format it so that cad2cad can read it, import it into cad2cad, let cad2cad do it's thing, and then export the results into the machine. This procedure was written by me for people that know a little alre

Hi, here's my 2 cents sir: You need.. a) The Gerber Data and the BOM b) Extract the XY CAD from the GERBER and build what they call Centroid Data. Save this in text format. c) Use Cad2Cad to import the centroid data and save it as Philips VIOS txt

am having wetting issues with two Burr Brown Op amps. Both are SOICs with NiPdAu lead frame finishes. I have attached a photo that shows a black streak the length of the lead (before soldering). This appearance is consistent of all leads and is exist

This is not something that we'd expect to see on NiPdAu finished leads. Help us understand the extent of the problem better. From your picture, it looks like a band of copper color with black on the outer portions of the copper color that bleeds int

We use a Charge Plate Monitor (CPM) tp monitor the balance of our ionizers, according to ANSI ESD STM3.1. Maybe you could use a CPM to assess the ionizing radiation in your plant. The more we think about it, we feel you could use a Geiger-Mueller (G

Its not likely your air quality that lowers the test solution's resistivity. Maintaining 60 M-Ohm requires almost constant circulation through DI resin beds. Just natural CO2 (Carbon dioxide) absorbed by the test solution will lower the resistivity

we have some problems in soldering joints such as insufficient solder and misalignment on some RC0402 and CC0402,i don't have a pic here. our SMT enginner doubts the PCB land pattern is at the fault.here is what we measured results.pad length:0.9mm,
