An electronic device and method for inspecting electrical rules of circuit boards includes selecting at least two design files that record electrical rules of the circuit boards and searching the electrical rules in the selected design files using preset parameter keywords. Same electrical rules of the selected design files are acquired by comparing the electrical rules in the selected design files. The same electrical rules and corresponding parameter values are input to a comparison table, and the comparison table is output.
A method for inspecting electrical rules of circuit boards using an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a processor and a storage system, the storage system storing a plurality of design files that record the electrical rules of the circuit boards, the method comprising:
An electronic device, comprising:
A non-transitory storage medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor to perform a method for inspecting electrical rules of circuit boards using an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a storage system, the storage system storing a plurality of design files that record the electrical rules of the circuit boards, the method comprising

1. Technical Field
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to inspecting technology, and more particularly to an electronic device and method for inspecting electrical rules of circuit boards by using the electronic device.
2. Description of Related Art
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of an electronic device including an inspection system.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of a simplified user interface of the inspection system of FIG. 1.
FIGS. 3A and 3B are flowcharts of one embodiment of a method for inspecting electrical rules of circuit boards using the electronic device of FIG. 1.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.
In general, the word “module,” as used herein, refers to logic embodied in hardware or firmware, or to a collection of software instructions, written in a programming language, such as, Java, C, or Assembly, for example. One or more software instructions in the modules may be embedded in firmware, such as an erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM). It will be appreciated that modules may comprise connected logic units, such as gates and flip-flops, and may comprise programmable units, such as programmable gate arrays or processors. The modules described herein may be implemented as either software and/or hardware modules and may be stored in any type of computer-readable medium or other computer storage system.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of an electronic device 1 including an inspection system 10. In some embodiments, the electronic device 1 may be used to compare electrical rules of different circuit boards using the inspection system 10, determine differences of the electrical rules, and highlight the differences to be viewed by users. Detailed descriptions of the inspection system 10 are provided below.
