Abstract
A device that supports an operator in checking an operation of an electronic circuit mounted on a board includes the following units. A waveform obtainment unit obtains a measured waveform as a signal waveform of a voltage or current measured by the operator bringing a probe into contact with the board. A similarity calculation unit calculates a similarity between the measured waveform and each of simulated signal waveforms which are signal waveforms of a voltage or current at respective nodes on the electronic circuit and are obtained by simulating the operation of the electronic circuit. A position determination unit determines, based on node information indicating positions of the nodes, a node position on the electronic circuit which corresponds to a simulated signal waveform having a maximum similarity. A notification unit notifies the operator of the node position determined on the electronic circuit.
