The Test-Function This is a very useful function to test the electric connections on your layout. Sprint-Layout can find connected tracks, pads and other areas of a board. This makes it easy to check the signal flow of the layout. Connected areas will light up. Activate the test mode with the corresponding button on the left sidebar: The mouse cursor will now appear as a "signal injector”. Simply click to any position of your layout and Sprint-Layout will find all tracks, pads and other areas that are connected to the click position. Connections via through-pads and tracks from both sides of the boards are also considered in test mode. You may now click to another position or cancel the test mode with the RIGHT mouse button or . Note:The test will also consider connections that are made with through-pads (vias) on the opposite site of your board.Blinking test-modeThe connected elements will be displayed in a blink-mode. This helps you to identify the connected elements. You can disable the blink-mode in the General-Settings of Sprint-Layout.Consider connections (rubberbands) in test-modeYou may define, that the test-mode also considers existing connections (rubberbands).
