Circuits Assembly Online Magazine - RSI Adds Agilent Fixture Reuse Analysis Module

Newport Beach, CA – Router Solutions Inc. (RSI) has released an upgrade module for its data preparation software, CAMCAD. The fixture reuse analysis module allows CAMCAD or Agilent fixture files to be checked against new revisions of boards to determine if the existing fixture can be reused or if it must be rebuilt. Anlysis time is reportedly reduced to minutes, instead of hours or days.

Once CAMCAD has read the fixture files each existing probe location is checked against the new board to determine if the location is on the same net and still accessible. If this is the case it will be reported as retained. If the net name has been changed but the existing location is still valid then it will be reported as changed. If the net name is the same but the existing location is no longer accessible and an alternate accessible location on the net is found it will be reported as moved. If no accessible locations are found on an existing net it will be reported as unplaced. If the net no longer is found it will be reported as removed.
