Aster Technologies on show at electronica 2012, Hall A1, Booth 352
ASTER, located at booth A1.352 at electronica, develops innovative modules for documentation and engineering:
•Documentor is a powerful document management tool that allows quick and easy creation of comprehensive shop floor documentation, as well as the formatting of testability analysis reports.
•Engineering Change Order is designed to facilitate post fabrication, PCB modifications.

Documentor is a dedicated toolbar add-in for MS-Word that allows direct access to TestWay Express and QuadView. Simply load one of the previously created templates using MS-Word, select the ^ TestWay project to document, and then start creating the report. Several output formats are available: DOC, PDF or HTML. HTML is the basis for a paperless solution where documents are fully interactive within the QuadView viewer.
##IMAGE_3_R##Fully integrated within QuadView is a new ECO toolbar to handle post fabrication PCB modifications such as track cuts, drilled vias; wire straps, component addition or removals and glue dots, etc... All these actions are automatically documented and can be exported to Documentor or a text file.
A BOM comparison is performed automatically, which simplifies the creation of documents detailing the actions necessary to upgrade the board. This innovative feature greatly reduces the engineering effort in the creation and generation of ECO documentation.
These modules allow comprehensive documentation to be created for the entire shop floor; ensuring engineering solutions are disseminated accurately and consistently. This maximizes quality and minimizes engineering effort.
