Got a PCB to repair but no documentation?

 Obsolete, unavailable board?? Use semi-automated RevEng to re-create the circuit schematics and PCB!

RevEng is a best-in-class hardware and software platform designed to create professional quality schematics for undocumented circuit boards. RevEng uses the clip and learn method for reverse engineering a board. A RevEng system includes one of several hardware configurations, IC clips and probes, SYSTEM 8 Ultimate control software and EdWin XP, a fully featured CAD package. 

By guiding the operator through a series of connections to specified points on the circuit board, RevEng learns the traces and connections on the board and produces a NetList (a list of the components and connections). EdWin XP uses the NetList to create the schematic.

System 8 Ultimate software controls System 8 and BoardMaster PCB test and diagnostic systems as well as RevEng. System 8 Ultimate is provided free with any System 8, BoardMaster or RevEng system purchase.  A complete version of the software is always provided, even if the purchase is limited to RevEng or to a single System 8 module. Those parts of the software which control hardware not included in any given configuration can be run in demo mode.

The EdWin XP CAD drawing package is also provided free with each RevEng system. EdWin XP is a product of the Swedish CAD solution provider Visionics.
