This section provides a detailed description of each of the pairs of feature measurements in the Board-Drill-Check action screen. The sequence of the listing starts with Row #1 and ends in Row #1, with the measurement made between a feature selected in the left-hand column (First El.) and a feature in the right-hand column (Second Element).

*         When measurements are made between drill features, they can be made between features on the same layer (when Single is activated) or on different layers (when Cross is activated). When measurements are made between drill features and rout features they are, of necessity, made on different layers (drill and rout). This is assumed in the following descriptions and will not be elaborated further.

In all categories, the maximum distance reported is the highest value in the green range (for an explanation see Doc.0501, Checklist Operation) of the relevant category. It is referred to as a VIA2VIA parameter. If, for example:

VIA2VIA

4

8

12

Red

Yellow

Green

The maximum in this range is 12. This means that via that are further apart than 12 mils will not be reported.
