The script executing module executes the DC transmission test script to determine whether the layout information of the printed circuit board complies with the one of the DC transmission rules. The report generating module generates a DC transmission testing report depicting whether the layout information of the printed circuit board complies with the one of the DC transmission rules and displays the testing report. | 2014-09-25 |
