1. A computer-aided system for automated circuit trace generation and reconfiguration on a circuit board, the system comprising:
a circuit board having a plurality of contact points;
a circuit loaded on the circuit board;
a switching matrix coupled to the contact points of the circuit board, and connected to a computer,
wherein the switching matrix is programmed by the computer to generate one or more circuit traces onto the contact points of the circuit board; and
a power control circuit for powering the circuit, and the switching matrix on and off in a controlled manner,
wherein the power control circuit is configured to first power down the circuit on the circuit board before powering down the switching matrix, and
the power control circuit is configured to first power up the switching matrix before powering up the circuit on the circuit board.
