Description

This is a Altium Script project that contains a Delphi Script for importing testjig data. It takes a gerber file generated by Macaos, and generates a PcbDoc file with pads for test pins, and a connector for measurements. Net names are imported, and a board outline is defined according to gerber data.

How to use

Create a new PCB with your prefered settings and rules. While this pcb is in focus, go to the menu File | Run Script.. Click on TestPinBoardGenerator -> CreateTestjig -> Run You will then be queried for the Maccaos mtt file. Select it and click ok.

There are a few constants at the top of the file that can fine tue hole diameters etc. There is also a default file name. Setting it to a file path will skip the file-open dialog.

The pin sizes are set to allow 2mm test pin minimum distance with 0.2mm clearance and 0.3mm anualar ring.
