TAP to PIC Conversion: FAQ
What are TAP files?
TAP is an image format associated to the Gerber group of extensions, which is recognized as a de facto standard in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. Gerber images can function as input files for photoplotters that are used in PCB fabrication, containing detailed 2D descriptions of aspects such as copper layers, solder masks, silkscreens etc. TAP images contain drilling data and are created with Orcad software. The format is also known as THRUHOLE.TAP
What are PIC files?
The PIC file format was first associated with PC Paint and later on with its developed version, Pictor Paint. It was one of the first formats accepted as a standard under the DOS platform, and it was developed by John Bridges. PIC files represent raster images, which can use an up to 24-bit color range. The advanced versions of PC Paint and Pictor Paint support image compression and the PIC files created using these programs are device-independent.
