UCAM v9.1
Ucamco release UCAM Version 9.1 – a PCB CAM automation breakthrough. With UCAM Version 9.1 any experienced PCB CAM engineer can write custom automation scripts without being a trained programmer. Gent, Belgium – December 24, 2010 – Ucamco have launched Visual HyperScript as the key feature of Ucam Version 9.1, the second major UCAM upgrade for 2010. Visual HyperScripting means that any experienced PCB CAM engineer can write custom automation scripts without being a trained programmer. CAM engineers have long understood that the key to the fastest and most accurate tool generation throughput is customized workflow automation. Until now this has needed specialist programming skills in third‐party languages like Java or C‐shell scripting. As a result many CAM users have missed out on the benefits of automation. Alternatively, they have found themselves limited by the range of rather simple automation options available or strait‐jacketed by inflexible automation programs. Ucamco’s Visual HyperScripting provides the breakthrough alternative. Starting from a simple recording of a sequence of operations, any experienced CAM engineer can add new commands, variables, conditions and loops to generalize the recorded script into an automated workflow. The new script is fully integrated into the UCAM user interface with clear custom menus and dialog boxes. Visual HyperScript functionality includes intuitive tools and a powerful debugger to make the process fast and accurate without the need to memorize the detailed function syntax. Ucamco report that field tests have shown that Visual HyperScripts can achieve time‐savings in excess of 95%. Karel Tavernier, Ucamco Managing Director, comments: “Our development goal has always been to deliver more productivity and higher efficiency to our users. Visual HyperScripting offers this without the need for heavyweight programming. Clear Help packages mean that existing UCAM users can benefit from Visual ...
