- Manufacture User Guides
  This section contains the user guides for the following tools: Block JIG Generator, Compare GDSII, Gerber to PCB, Make Board Paneling, Metal Mask Manager, Mounting Data Extractor, Mounting Emulator, Router-Machine JIG Generator, Solder Quantity Calculator, Soldering Pallet, Test Point Location Generator, and Underfill.
  - Block JIG Generator
    Block JIG Generator is used for the purpose of stable supporting the bare PCB and evenly applying lead in the screen printer equipment that prints the solder cream during the SMD process.
  - Compare GDSII
    The Compare GDSII function performs the function of verifying the consistency between the data in the specific layer of PDBB and the GDSII file.
  - Gerber to PCB
    Gerber to PCB is a PCB generator from graphical Gerber or ODB++ file which is non-intelligent data.
  - Make Board Paneling
    Use Make Board Paneling to modify the data designed with a single sub board into an array type to use manufacturing related features, such as Metal Mask Manager, Mounting Emulator, Block JIG Generator, and Router-Machine JIG Generator.
  - Metal Mask Manager
    Metal Mask Manager is a tool that can register standard metal mask database, manage metal mask changing history, and check differences between design and standard metal mask.
  - Mounting Data Extractor
    The PollEx Mounting Data Extractor function extracts components and PCB information for chip mounter from PCB design data. It is included in the PollEx PCB Modeler.
  - Mounting Emulator
    Mounting Emulator is a mounter assembly checking toolset based on 3D package part libraries constructed with Unified Part Editor (UPE).
  - Router-Machine JIG Generator
    Quickly generate design drawing for manufacturing JIG using PCB design data and panel PCB Gerber of array board.
  - Solder Quantity Calculator
    The Solder Quantity Calculator provides evidence to get numerical calculation and solder quantity based on whole mask space and user-defined conditions.
  - Soldering Pallet
    Learn how to use PollEx Soldering Pallet.
  - Test Point Location Generator
    Generate test points and extract location and data from designs.
    - Extract JIG Data
      This menu extracts the coordinates of the test points.
    - Change the View
      Use the View menu to adjust the view.
    - Explore Tool Functions
      From the menu bar of Test-Point Location Generator, click Tools.
      - Extract JIG Data
        Create JIG data (Test Point) of routing nets by referring to the previously set values.
      - Verify Netlist
        Use Verify Netlist to compare PCB design and net list files that are used in the manufacturing process (*.fpn and *.net).
      - Distribution
        Distribution provides the visual display, where and how many extracted JIG data are in the PCB design.
      - Find
        Use Find to search objects and nets used in PCB design.
      - Result Review
        Compare the difference between netlists.
      - Verify Netlist
  - Underfill
    Underfill Editor uses the PCB design data can easily produce the coordinate data of the nozzle movement path from the underfill equipment.
