Schematics: Schematics are required to understand the electrical connectivity of the board. Schematics are also used to determine areas of concern with respect to the board's testability. The preferred format is electronically supplied files like Postscript, PDF (please make searchable), EDIF, DXF, HPGL, DWG, and OrCAD's DSN. 

Assembly Drawings: These drawings are used to identify component placement. In addition, we can determine devices that may cause fixturing problems i.e.: bottom side connectors, connectors extending beyond the edge of the board, switches needing tests mounted on the bottom of the board. Printed copy works best.

Bill of Materials (BOM): This should include reference designators, part numbers, values, & tolerances. A Microsoft Excel or electronic ASCII copy works best for this data.

CAD Data: The requested ASCII formatted file contains the intelligent data of the board such as: 1) Location Reference, 2) X & Y Coordinates, 3) Theta (Part Rotation), 4) Part Number (Reference to BOM), 5) Package Style, 6) PCB Mount Side (Top/Bottom) and 7) Component Technology (SMT vs. PTH). Listed below are the most common CAD files needed for evaluation for a quote. If CAD systems are not on the list below, contact us for more information.

Statement of Work (SOW): Customer specific test and fixture requirements would be detailed in this document. Especially valuable if additional fixture hardware is needed.

Target Test System Configuration: Configuration of testing system used at manufacturing site. Items needed are Operating Software Revision, U.U.T Power Supplies, Number of Pins, Optional Hardware Installed, Software Options (i.e.: ™ Opens Xpress, FrameScan & FrameScan FX or ™ TestJet, VTEP & iVTEP) and Listing of Tools Supported.
