Starting Data and Checks
Use the approved starting package. Subsequent screenshots retain the data names from their own examples.
Check the task data
Compare the Gerber data and work instructions or component list. Check components, part numbers, reference designators, and board locations.
What the template provides
Check the board structure, workpart properties, fiducials, and positioning method. Identify existing data and missing information.
Confirm readiness
Check component-to-accessory relationships and machine data. Select the same saved product when creating the recipe.
Scope of the examples
The examples use Demo_Single_Board, Demo_Panel_Board, or Demo_Carrier_Board.
Polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor; 100 μF, ±20%, 50 V DC; 2,000 h at 85°C; −40 to 85°C
Surge-resistant wirewound resistor; 6.2 Ω, ±5%, 1 W; ±400 ppm/°C; −55 to 155°C
PCB power relay; SPST-NO, Class F insulation, sealed; coil approximately 0.45 W; 240 V AC / 10 A resistive load

Basics
Scenario 1: Single Board
Use four prepared components to complete product creation and automatic recipe planning.
Scenario 2: New Part + Front Feed
Reuse existing geometry for a new part number, update annotations, and restrict feeder placement.
Scenarios 3 and 4: Panel and Carrier
Compare panel processing modes, create carrier products, and plan recipes independently.
