CAD translation

CAD translation
The first step in the development process is to translate the CAD data describing the
printed circuit board so the 5DX can recognize all aspects of the panel.
• Files Needed
The CAD Data file or files.
- Some CAD systems use a single file to describe the panel.
- Some systems use multiple files to describe the panel.
• Tools Used
- CAMCAD generates the information needed by the 5DX.
- Other translators are available. If you already have one of those
translators, you do not have to use CAMCAD.
(Advertisement: Try it, you will be happier with CAMCAD.)
Subsequent Steps - Later Modules
• Finish the panel description
- Having translated the CAD you must complete the panel description.
(Not everything needed to test the panel is available in the CAD.)

• Setup Test Definitions
- Define which joints you want to test and how you want to test them.
• Transfer the development to the 5DX.
• 5DX Test Setup
- Aligning the panel within the 5DX
- Surface Mapping the panel to accommodate warpage
• Verify the Setup and collect images
The processes include:
- The View Verifier process checks that the data and the panel match and
that good focus has been achieved.
- Image Collection. Save test images on the TDW.
• Tune all test Algorithms
- Examine every device-type on the panel and verify that it is being tested
correctly.
- Learn reference/nominal levels for every subtype of device and enter
those references through the interface.
• Release to Production
- Check for differences between the prototype board used in development
and the production boards.
• Engineering Changes
- Adjust the test for changes to the design of the panel.
