Engineers rely on the accuracy of equipment that includes design and simulation software as well as test equipment when carrying out their work with jeweler-like precision. They also depend on the supply and quality of raw materials available to them. Whether the application is an integrated circuit or a printed circuit board, the use of highly sensitive and accurate tools is important. This topic center looks at those tools as well as best practices for engineers in these design-and-test environments.
