In
a 'Nutshell'
The PentaLogix Gerber editing software family all share the
same basic editing features that you will find in our Premier
product, CAMMaster. At PentaLogix we realize that some users
may only need to check their data and possibly make minor changes.
Other users may want to clean up their data and use more advanced
features such as filleting, board panelization or netlist extraction.
Users that CAM many jobs in a day or want to improve quality
will need scripting. And for some users, only CAMMaster with
latest netlist and DRC algorithms as well as polygon optimization,
will do.
The following summarizes the benefits of each product:
ViewMasterEZ
ViewMasterEZ is the Gerber editing workhorse of the industry.
Whether you're a designer that wants to check the output from
his CAD system, or needs to edit the job, to the board shop
