Abstract: The present invention has been made to obtain a coordinate acquisition apparatus for test of a printed board that can automatically generate coordinates required for performing the clip test from a predetermined target object formed in a printed board to thereby automate the clip test. A coordinate acquisition apparatus for test of a printed board comprises: a camera that photographs a printed board; a target object detection section that uses pattern matching to detect a predetermined target object formed in the printed board from image data photographed by the camera; and a coordinate position acquisition section that acquires the coordinate position of the target object detected by the target object detection section with respect to the printed board.

Abstract: An information reference apparatus includes: a reference information storage part storing predetermined reference information; a reference range defining information storage part storing predetermined reference range defining information; and a reference range defining part referring to the reference range defining information stored for a user by the reference range defining information storage part and defining a range of the reference information stored by the reference information storage part, in which range the reference information is available for the user to refer to.
