XJTAG's XJBoardExplorer is a powerful software tool for clearly presenting, analyzing, and securely sharing PCB data. The application brings together schematics, PCB layouts, netlists, and bill of materials (BOMs) in a single, centralized workspace. This allows users to quickly switch between the various views of an electronics project and more easily understand the relationships within a circuit.
Using the integrated viewers, components, pins, and nets can be searched for specifically and highlighted in the corresponding schematic, layout, and netlist views. Seamless cross-probing between views makes it particularly easy to examine complex assemblies. Individual layout layers can be shown or hidden, allowing for detailed analysis of trace paths and component connections even without access to the original EDA system.
XJBoardExplorer is suitable for use in development, manufacturing, quality assurance, repair, and technical service. Developers can prepare their design data in a format that is understandable to other departments, while production and service teams can examine circuit information without having to install the original development software. It also supports secure collaboration with external manufacturing partners, service providers, or customers, as project information can be shared without making the underlying data extractable.
The software supports everything from small prototypes and individual electronic modules to large-scale projects with multiple printed circuit boards, hierarchical schematics, and different assembly variants. Thanks to support for common exchange formats, existing development data from standard EDA environments can be imported and made centrally available.
