Printed Circuit Board Reverse Engineering Analysis
First of all, Printed Circuit Board Reverse Engineering Analysis Objective
Printed Circuit Board Reverse Engineering Analysis should be performed to develop the missing data required for a technical data package. In those cases where the existing technical documentation is either incomplete or unavailable which is quite normal for those PC board which need reverse engineering.
since in most of the case, these boards are either stop the production and support from original manufacturer or too old to be replaced or refurbished in the application market, which will naturally lead to the insufficient information about those electronic components used on them.
Hardware analysis (dimensional, material, electrical / electronic) should be performed to develop the technical data (include Layout drawing, list of component, schematic diagram and Gerber file) required for production. The data developed by physically examining, measuring and analyzing the existing hardware should be included in the end-item drawings and specifications.
Secondly is Accuracy
All test equipment should be calibrated prior to use in order to detect and adjust any variation in the accuracy of the instrument being checked. ISO 10012-1 and NCSL-Z540.1 may be used as guidance for the calibration of all measuring and test equipment.
