                  Purpose and description of the program

Neurocam is a tool that can modify the drilling files for CNC machines
in order to match with the innerlayers of multilayer pcbs (printed
circuit boards) having non-uniform shrinkage or dimensional modification
caused by the manufactoring process(ex: lamination).
The program can change all the coordinates of the drilling file and
also the coordinates of the Gerber files related to the external layers.
The program uses a special interpolation algorithm based on neural
networks.
The input of the program can be made manually in graphical mode using a
special "Virtual Reality Measure" with a low cost x-Ray camera or using
a special probe that can be purchased from the author of the program.
The probe must be connected to the pcb while four special test-coupons
are drilled.
The program has many utilities related to statistical data collection
and test-coupon tuning/customization.


                      Installation instructions

In order to install the program, the neucam43.zip file must be unzipped
and the content of dir "disk_1" must be copied on a floppy disk disk_1
and the content of the directory "disk_2" must be copied on a floppy
disk disk_2. After this step insert disk_1 and digit "a: install" and
when required insert the disk_2.
The manual can be viewed by a web browser like Netscape or Explorer.
Neurocam requires DOS 6.0 and can run on Widows95 DOS after some
settings.
