Gerber
Gerber is the commonly used word for RS274D which is the data used to
control photoplotters. It's often referred to as Gerber because of the
dominance of the Gerber Scientific Company's photoplotters in the 70's
and 80's.
Other variants of Gerber include:
- RS274X - extended Gerber
- MDA AutoPlot - 274X with proprietary embedded commands for the Fire 9000 Photoplotter
made by Cymbolic Sciences.
