GTO graphical user interface helps rework and assembly technicians locate single or multiple components on a PCB. Produces a unified PCB image by combining top and bottom Gerber silkscreens, pick-and-place drill files, and formatted BoM (.csv file). Creates a composite view of PCB by fusing silkscreens, parts list, and placement information into a single view, allowing locating an individual component or a group of BoM line-item components. Generates assembly notes, and automatically generates symbol/color coded assembly prints, showing exactly which parts need to be located in certain locations on the PCB. Stored project bundle creates a single file containing top and bottom silkscreen, pick-and-place, BoM, and notes to be distributed to engineering or customers.
