Agilent Technologies rolls out Genesys 2008.07, which exports RF board mask and artwork files to board fabricators, rapid-prototyping machines, and CAD/CAM software for physical product design. Graphical artwork previewer and pre-production editor allow designers to inspect masks for layer alignment issues and short/open circuits and make direct real-time adjustments. In addition to direct board fabrication, artwork tools let users import drawings for electromagnetic verification using Momentum GX planar-3D EM simulator.

Supported Genesys customers can download the 2008.07 release from the Agilent Knowledge Center (www.agilent.com/find/eesof-knowledgecenter). All others may request a free software evaluation at www.agilent.com/find/eesof-genesys-evaluation-pr.

Multiline Technology Inc., Xact pcb and Direct Logix announce the launch of an integrated registration solution MULTIWORX. MULTIWORX allows for a complete seamless integrated solution to significantly reduce registration related scrap within a PCB fabrication facility. When deployed in a total factory application, MULTIWORX transforms product, process materials and real time data into total manufacturing intelligence. Additionally, this will support PCB manufacturers goals of increased speed, control and visibility throughout the process. Incorporating MULTIWORX into production machines increases the effective use of each machine. The system accumulates data, while running production, offering manufacturers an automated solution to enable the aggregation of plant to enterprise data to enhance decision making.
