Checking Gerber files before ordering and avoiding unexpected problems like “PCB file can not open”. Let’s call this (Gerber Viewer). Why do we need (Gerber Viewer)?
When we order the PCB, the most important thing we need to double-check is the Gerber files. Often, these files which guarantee 100% successful manufacturing contain the most probability of making problems.
