What is no probe top?

1. Very dependent on the process, but likely that is a virtual layer that is used by the foundry to indicate to them that any top-side pads covered by said layer is not meant to be probed during any testing.

How do you get footprints in OrCAD?

Choose File→Library Manager. When you create a new footprint, you have two basic options, either you start with nothing, or you edit an existing footprint. To edit an existing footprint, select that footprint from the list on the left side of the screen. The footprint will appear in the work area to the right.

What does a flying probe tester do?

Flying probe testers are categorized as an in-circuit test (ICT) system or manufacturing defects analyzer (MDA). Flying probe is often used to validate line set-up without the cost and cycle time related to designing and building traditional bed-of-nails fixtures.

How do you make an allegro footprint?

To create a footprint using the pad that we just created, open up the Allegro PCB Editor and go to File > New. In the New Drawing pop-up menu, select Package Symbol as the drawing type, and since we are going to create a simple fourteen pin IC, give it a drawing name of SOIC-14.

How does a flying probe work?

The flying probes are electro-mechanically controlled to access components on printed circuit assemblies (PCAs). The probes are moved around the board under test using an automatically operated two-axis system, and one or more test probes contact components of the board or test points on the printed circuit board.
