PCB Layout Terminology
(OP)
Can someone explain what "master pattern" and/or "plan view" means in the requirement below which I have been given from a customer?
"For each developed printed circuit board the Contractor shall provide a master pattern and plan view of the parts layout".
"For each developed printed circuit board the Contractor shall provide a master pattern and plan view of the parts layout".





RE: PCB Layout Terminology
Plan view is the view of the assembled/populated circuit board, as if you were looking straight down on it. Terminology comes from the building/civil types, where an elevation view shows the house as if you were to take a picture of it standing nearby, plan view is as if hovering above it in a balloon.
