Gerber format training
All electronics engineers sooner or later meet the documentation used in PCB manufacturing. These documents may include:
- Wiring diagrams (digitally or on paper)
- Placement drawings (digital or on paper)
- Parts list (digitally or on paper)
- Netlist (Linking Parts List)
- The drawings of PCB layers (usually digitally, sometimes in the form of film)
Test-Engineers usually use wiring diagrams, the placement drawings, the part list and the netlist.
The Process-Engineers work with all kinds of documents, listed above, without the netlist. Regarding the placement drawings and all layers, drawings of the PCB are mostly available in Gerber format. This is the format for all CAD/CAM systems support.
That's why I felt it necessary to prepare training material for engineers who are not familiar with this format.
