/> Designed for use with Polar Instruments’ Speedstack PCB or Speedstack Si printed circuit board (PCB) stackup design and documentation systems, the automated Coupon Generator imports complete stack-up designs directly from Speedstack. These are compiled with the user’s preferred coupon format and the chosen test probe style, which is selected from a library of the most frequently-used IP probes for CITS impedance test systems.

The Coupon Generator automatically produces an RS274x extended gerber file and drill file which can be exported to the CAM system.

“The Speedstack automated Coupon Generator provides a break-through for PCB manufacturers by producing coupons in a fraction of the time it would take using conventional methods. This helps to speed the overall turn-round time for the PCB and increases the accuracy of the finished test coupon,” explains Martyn Gaudion, Polar Instruments’ Sales & Marketing Director.
