xCheck is a tool that can analyze a printed circuit board (PCB) design created with the ExpressPCB program and the associated schematic, drawn using ExpressSCH, looking for problems that should be fixed before manufacturing the board. The schematic is checked for mistakes or design errors, and the PCB is checked against this schematic to look for shorts, opens, or a number of other differences. The PCB layout is also checked against a list of 16 user-configurable DRC tolerances (for example, pad-to-trace spacing) to make sure that the board can be manufactured reliably.
ExpressPCB and ExpressSCH are great tools that are easy to learn and use, especially for casual users, but they lack the ability to perform most of these important error checks. As a companion to those programs, xCheck provides these missing features to help you finish your layout and manufacture your boards with confidence. xCheck can also be used to generate other useful reports from your design, including net list, Bill of Materials, and board statistics.
