Dynamic Text

This feature allows you to create a dynamic text in the PCB-Investigator.

By adding  "$$" and the keyword "DATE" you have the possibility to create a text in the board with several informations.

The following options are:

  • "MMDDYY" or "DDMMYY" or "MMDDYYYY"  → gives you the date today in the given format
  • "DD" → outputs the number of the day in this month
  • "MM" → outputs the month of the year in number(1-12)
  • "WW" → outputs the number in which week we are of this year
  • "WEEK-DAY" → shows the weekday in letters(Monday - Sunday)
  • "YY" → gives you the last two numbers of the year

  • "TIME" → shows the actual time 
  • "JOB" → your loaded job name is given
  • "STEP" → shows which step is loaded
  • "LAYER" → gives you the layer where your text stands
