PLC to FITS Conversion: FAQ
What are PLC files?
The PLC extension is attached to images that represent the top silkscreen of an electronic board, most likely processed via Eagle software. PLC is part of the Gerber group of extensions, which functions as a de facto standard for storing images in the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. Other extensions included in this group are STC, STS and PLS. Each format contains data on a different segment or detail of an electronic board, including solder masks, copper layers etc.
What are FITS files?
The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format is a standard format used particularly for storing, transferring and processing scientific images from fields such as astronomy. FITS was first launched as an open standard in the early 1980s and has gone through several subsequent upgrades. FITS files contain not just images, but also data related to photometry and spatial calibration, and information about the origin of the image. Similar formats include FIT and FTS.
