ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for selecting an optimum printed circuit board in terms of its intended use before placement of components on the printed circuit board, information about components to be mounted on the printed circuit board, and an outer size of the printed circuit board is provided. The apparatus includes an input section for inputting information, a storing section for storing information, an arithmetic section for performing an arithmetic calculation using the information stored in the storing section, a display section, and a control section. By deriving an index in the arithmetic section, selection of the optimum printed circuit board can be accomplished.
