4.6.3.1 "PCB Filter Dialog" Window

Fig. 4.6.4 "PCB filter dialog" Window

The "PCB filter dialog" is subdivided into several areas. The individual areas contain selection fields (including

buttons or icons), editing fields and position fields for the definition of PP filters.

Basic Filter Data

The filter is or was created on the basis of these data.

- * Filter

This field contains the name of the currently set filter. The field is empty if no name has been assigned

to the new filter yet.

Clicking on the filter selection button causes the FSB containing the file selection of the already-

defined filters to be opened. In this FSB the name is entered under which the completely defined filter

is to be saved.

- Current file

This field contains the name of the current CAD file.

- Filter settings

The values to be set at this point are so-called fixed values. They are determined during the filter defi-

nition in accordance with the structure of the CAD file.

Field separator

The field separators are used to separate the data fields within a data line so that their respective

contents can be assigned to the appropriate position fields (see section 4.6.3.2).

● Click on the button in the "Field separator" selection field and hold down the mouse button.

The popup menu containing a list of the possible field separators opens.

● Position the mouse cursor on the entry of the desired field separator and release the mouse

button.

The menu closes and the name and the symbol of the selected field separator are displayed in

the "Field separator" selection field.

Decimal separator

Here, you can set which decimal separators are to be used to specify the values for the x and y-

coordinates of the placement positions in the CAD file.

● Click on the button in the "Decimal separator" selection field and hold down the mouse button.

The popup menu containing a list of the possible decimal separators opens.

● Position the mouse cursor on the entry of the desired decimal separator and release the mouse

button.

The menu closes and the name and the symbol of the selected decimal separator are displayed

in the "Decimal separator" selection field.

Unit

Here, the unit can be set in which the values for the x and y-coordinates of the placement positions are

to be specified in the CAD file.

● Click on the button in the "Unit" selection field and hold down the mouse button.

A popup menu containing a list of the possible units opens.

● Position the mouse cursor on the entry of the desired unit and release the mouse button.

The menu closes and the name of the selected unit is displayed in the "Unit" selection field.

Scaling factor

The scaling factor serves as conversion factor for the x and y-values. It is entered if the units for the x

and y-coordinates of the placement positions are neither specified in "mm", "inches" nor "mill", but in

a different unit (e.g. pixels or

1000

mm).

● Click on the "Scaling factor" editing field and enter a value for the factor required.

Global data

The values to be set at this point are so-called fixed values. They are determined during the filter definition in

accordance with the structure of the CAD file. They are always valid for an entire PCB structure and cannot be

changed locally for a single position.

- * PCB type

The indication of a PCB type is required for the further classification of a PCB.

This entry is mandatory.

● Click on the "PCB type" editing field and enter a name for the PCB type

(max. 15 characters).

- Processing type

At this point, you can globally specify for all components contained in the CAD the type of processing

that is to apply.

● Click on the button in the "Processing type" editing field and hold down the mouse button.

A popup menu containing a list of the possible processing types opens.

● Position the mouse cursor on the entry of the desired processing type and release the mouse

button.

The menu closes and the name of the selected processing type is displayed in the "Processing

type" selection field.

- Coordinate system

In this selection field the different coordinate systems are symbolized by icons. They can be used to

set the position of the coordinate system of the CAD data in relation to the coordinate system of the

machine, with respect to the direction of PCB travel.

The first four icons (coordinate systems) refer to the normal position of all placement positions, i.e. the

assembly of the top side of the PCB.

The remaining four icons (coordinate systems) are required in case the CAD data are mirrored (coor-

dinate system in counterclockwise direction). This is the case, for instance, if the placement positions

on the bottom side of the PCB were described on the basis of the coordinate system of the top side of

the PCB. If coordinate systems are mirrored (- 0°, - 90°, -180° or - 270°) all angles of the placement

positions will be rotated by 180°.

● Click on the icon representing the coordinate system to be set.

Local data

In the Local data the actual structure of the CAD data is described by assigning data fields to position fields.

Each position field whose name is preceded by an asterisk * must be assigned a data field. Any allocation to

the "PP comment" position field is optional.

- * Co.name

This position field is assigned the component name from the CAD file.

- * PP X-val.

This position field is assigned the x-coordinate of the placement position from the CAD file.

- * PP Y-val.

This position field is assigned the y-coordinate of the placement position from the CAD file.

- * PP angle

This position field is assigned the rotational angle of the placement position from the CAD file.

- PP comment

This position field can be assigned the comment relating to the placement position form the CAD file.
