Abstract
This article presents an interactive computer-graphics-based tool for specifying the placement of electronic parts on a wire-wrap circuit board, Input is a data file (currently produced by a commercial logic design system) which describes the parts used and their interconnections, Output includes printed reports describing the parts and wire paths, parts counts, placement list, board drawing, and a tape to send to the wire-wrap vendor, The program should reduce the engineer's layout time by a factor of 3 to 5 as compared to manual methods. This program will benefit several projects at JPL, including the Advanced Digital SAR Processor and the Alaska SAR Processor. It is currently being used in the design of the DSN/SETI Spectrum Analyzer.
