Visual Test and Repair (VTR) 
You can use the Visual Test and Repair (VTR) feature to record the NC codes resulting from the testing or inspection, analysis and repair of PCA boards or other materials. VTR enables you to view and interact with a graphical model of the board, or of other material being manufactured, to ensure the correctness of the data being recorded in the Nonconformance Management feature (see Nonconformance (NC)).
VTR enables electronics manufacturers, in particular printed circuit board assemblers, to log defects against printed circuit boards and their components. Discrete manufacturers can use it to log defects against assemblies and their component parts.
Integration
VTR integrates the Model Viewer with the following Nonconformance plug-ins:
NC Data Entry (see Log NC (NC Data Entry))
NC Selection (see NC Selection)
NC Data Tree (see NC Data Tree)
In the VTR POD, when you select an SFC number, the Model Viewer displays the graphical model specified for the associated material. Selecting an element in the Model Viewer populates fields in the NC Data Entry plug-in. Specifying values in the NC Data Entry plug-in fields highlights the corresponding element in the Model Viewer. Similarly, selecting a logged NC code in the NC Tree plug-in highlights, centers and zooms the corresponding element in the Model Viewer.
Features
VTR involves the following features:
Easy logging of NC codes
The VTR feature facilitates the logging of NC codes with the correct data. You can simply select a model element in the Model Viewer to automatically populate specific NC Data Entry plug-in fields. The Model Viewer provides numerous graphical display control capabilities to make it easy to manipulate the graphical image and to select the appropriate model element. For more information, see Selection of NC Codes, Model Elements or Objects.
Analysis of the failure and logging of defect NC codes
Once a failure NC code has been logged and is displayed in the NC Tree, you can use VTR to facilitate the analysis of the failure and the logging of one or more defect NC codes. Similarly, for each defect NC code that has been logged and is displayed in the NC Tree, VTR facilitates the logging of a repair NC code. For more information, see NC Codes, and Test/Inspection Failures Log and View.
Review, graphically, which model element is associated with each logged NC code for an SFC number (see Model Display, ECAD Model View, and 3D Model View)
The figure below illustrates the primary flow of user actions when utilizing VTR to support the testing / inspection, analysis and repair of a PCA board or a product assembly:
