Now access PCB components information on the go

PCBTech
PCBTech over 2 years ago

While in the middle of a PCB debug, many times, quick access to information about a component is required. To access this information, the user needs to search for the datasheet online and seek the desired data.

InspectAR offers a valuable feature to deal with this. You can view the component and all its pads highlighted by its layer color. Apart from this, the Info pane on the right is now populated with all part attributes like reference designator and description from the BOM (if available). For example, if you wish to check the recommended voltage for an IC, you can directly click on Open Datasheet to gather the required information. This feature gives instant access to all the component-related information available in the BOM and saves time.

Other than accessing the existing information, you can attach a file and tag it with this component. This file could contain any component-related details required for future reference or debugging. It could also have some instructions for modifying the part solder/connections.
