Automate repetitive PCB work instead of repeating it manually
In PCB development, time is often lost not in the analysis itself, but in the repeated execution of the same tasks. That is exactly where the Script Engine in PCB-Investigator adds value: it lets you integrate your own or existing scripts directly into the workflow and turn routine actions into reusable tools.
For engineers, designers, and technical decision-makers, this means more control over daily work and a faster path from idea to execution. Instead of manually navigating the same steps again and again, you can bundle processes into scripts and place the most important ones directly into the UI.
Built for flexible engineering workflows
The Script Engine supports different script types, so you can match the automation approach to the task. Whether you need a one-time run, a background process, or a script managed by PCB-Investigator itself, the platform gives you the right structure.
- Synchronous scripts run once until the task is completed.
- Asynchronous scripts stay active until you stop them manually.
- Analysis scripts are managed by PCB-Investigator for analysis-oriented workflows.
You can also work with demo scripts, local scripts, and web scripts, making it easier to reuse proven logic instead of rebuilding tools from scratch. That is especially useful when teams want consistency across projects and repeatable results across users.
“There is no faster way to create easy tools to help you in daily work.”
From script library to daily productivity
The tab structure in the Script Engine is practical: Local, Web, and Favorites help you organize scripts, download copies, and promote frequently used functions to the main ribbon menu. That means less friction, fewer manual steps, and a more scalable way to support engineering tasks.
If you work with PCB-Investigator, the Script Engine is worth a closer look. Explore the examples, test the workflow, and see how quickly you can build custom tools for your own process.
