Function documentationAnalysis and Repair of Logged Defects

 

You can use this function when you need to perform some analysis to determine what defects caused the failure after the failure has been logged. Especially for PCA boards, VTR can facilitate this analysis. When a defect has been identified, VTR can facilitate the logging of the defect NC code.

You can also ensure that the appropriate element on the PCA board, or the appropriate part in an assembly, is repaired or replaced. When the appropriate repair action has been taken, VTR can facilitate the logging of the repair NC code.

Features

The Model Viewer allows you to do the following:

  • Perform analysis

    You can use the PCB Layout and the Schematic Sheets in the ECAD model as a guide in analyzing potential causes of a test failure. This could include starting from the test point where the failure was detected and visually following the associated route element to the components that might be faulty.

  • Log defect code

    Once you have determined the defective element and cause, you can select the appropriate NC code; select the ECAD model element; and log the defect NC code.

  • Perform repair

    VTR can facilitate the performing of the repair action. It can provide a visual indication of the defective element, or object, by highlighting it in the model.

  • Log repair code

    Once you have performed the repair action, you can select the appropriate NC code; select the ECAD model element, if needed; and log the repair NC code.
