Gerber commands into the appropriate table movements, wheel rotation and shutter opening.Photoplotter Schematic
When the shutter is open light shines through the aperture exposing the aperture's image onto the film.When the table simultaneously moves while the shutter is open, a line or stripe is imaged onto the film.The beauty of the Gerber database is its simplicity.There are only four essential commands plus
coordinate data.The Gerber file lacks essential information necessary to
run the plotter.The line numbers at far right are not part of the file.Examining this file
without any prior knowledge of Gerber one would correctly deduce that each line represents
a particular machine command and that the asterisk (*) is the end of command
character.In most cases these codes are
used to prepare the machine's state prior to drawing.The G90 command in line 1 tells
the machine that data coordinates are absolute.If
you see a "starburst" display similar to figure 3 on your CAM station you are probably
trying to read a file written with incremental coordinates.Figure 3 Left: correctly displayed.If you find no G54's in a particular file don't panic.Dxx (where xx is not 01,02,03) that the correct tool should be selected.D01 is the command that "draws" lines.D02 is the command to move the table
without exposing any film.D01 and D02 correspond to moving the paper on a
pen plotter with the pen down and pen up.D01, D02 and D03 commands follow their coordinate data.Each slot is filled with a piece of film.The wheel rotates, positioning the desired aperture in the light path.One can see that it proceeds logically from D10 through
D19.Then, instead of D20 mapping into position 11, D70
and D71 intrude.At the end of the file we see the command M02*.It is difficult
to manually follow table motion from a printout because Gerber uses
several techniques to minimize the number of bytes required to represent
the data.One
of the most common errors that novice designers make is to
assume that the person receiving their data knows you data
format.The table moves along X from 00560 to 00670 during the first
two commands.If the designer tells you that there
are two integers before the decimal point and 4 integers after
the decimal point then you know that 00560 represents 0.When you receive a Gerber file, always ask for the data format.What if your customer violates Rule 1 and sends you a Gerber file
with no data format information?There are five digits in the coordinates
so that the sum of integers before and after the decimal point must
equal 5.Not many boards are
longer than 99 inches and not many boards are built to a precision
less than 0.The designers of the Gerber database didn't rest after eliminating
the decimal point.In the days of paper tape this
was a very significant reduction.Depending on the data you might be better off leaving the leading zeros on and
suppressing the trailing zeros.To correctly interpret the data you must count from the left side of the number
to locate the decimal point.When you receive a Gerber file, always ask about leading or trailing zero suppression.It turns out that leading zero suppression is more commonly encountered.PC boards often have hundreds of pads in a row along X or Y and a
properly sorted Gerber file will be much smaller when the redundant coordinate
is eliminated.CAM software supports modal data.Modality is a good concept for data and works equally well for commands.For example,
if you have a string of draw commands why repeat the D01 command again and again.Let it stay in effect until another command (D02 or D03) occurs to change it.It would appear that all commands in Gerber ought to be modal.However
there are a couple of erratic exceptions that occasionally cause trouble.Certain brands of photoplotters don't treat D03 as modal.We've encountered this
on MDA's FIRE 9000 family of photoplotters.Gerber photoplotters can draw arcs when instructed to do so.It would take more room available in this paper to properly treat the various permutations that can occur.CAM software, we have provide some text files on diskette.We've seen that the Gerber file itself lacks critical information such as data format, units
and information about whether the leading or trailing zeros have been suppressed.Gerber file is not complete without an accompanying aperture list.There is no theoretical limit on what each aperture can look like.Whatever can be exposed on film can be used as an aperture.Gerber's RS274X format with an embedded header was not popular enough to establish itself as a defacto standard until the late 90's.Even different members of Gerber's family of photoplotters support different parameters in the header.Below are two sample header files, and a plain text interpretation.Ruminations of a software developer.VB, on the other hand, is introducing default instances.Read more about default instances here, and there's some good points here on the Microsoft feedback page.Anyway, VB was my first language, and like my first car it will always have a special place in my heart.Thanks, everyone, for coming out and supporting us!Examiner's 2003 Best of the Bay
