Description
The Board Station XE for New Users course will help you understand how all the tools within the flow interface. In addition, you also learn each tool within the flow by performing tasks involved in the PCB design process.
Detailed lab exercises reinforce the lectures and provide you with extensive tool usage experience under the guidance of our industry expert instructors.
You will learn how to
- Convert an existing design to a Board Station XE design
- Validate existing libraries for board Station XE use
- Forward-annotate and back-annotate changes
- Navigate in Board Station XE user interface
- Define mechanical and high-speed routing constraints in CES
- Set up placement and routing parameters
- Place parts on the design using all available techniques
- Route the design both manually and automatically
- Generate both positive and negative planes for the design
- Verify placement and routing using interactive and batch DRC
- Change reference designators
- Import geometries using Geometry Wizard
- Create panels in FabLink XE Pro
- Add dimensions in different modes
- Perform Design for Fabrication (DFF) batch analysis
- Create Gerber data
- Create manufacturing drawings
- Generate PDF documents of the drawings
Hands-On Labs
Throughout this course, extensive hands-on lab exercises provide you with practical experience using all tools in the Board Station XE flow software. Hands-on lab topics include: Lab 1: Introduction to Board Station XEYou learn how to explore for pertinent tools for the Board Station XE flow and use the help system.
Lab 2: Adopting the Board Station XE flow
You learn how to validate libraries and convert the design to Board Station XE design.
Lab 3: Introduction to Board Station XE User Interface
You learn how to customize display of the design and invoke commands using all available methods
Lab 4: Placing Parts
You place parts by cross-probing schematic, copying circuit from a different design, and all other available methods.
Lab 5: Constraints in CES
You learn how to set up mechanical and high-speed routing constraints within Constraint Editing System (CES).
Lab 6: Routing
You learn how to fanout, route interactively and automatically, and tune delays.
Lab 7: Planes
You learn how to create split planes, area-fills, and generate plane data.
Lab 8: Layout Verification
You learn how to use both online and batch design rule checks to look for hazards in the design.
Lab 9: Manufacturing Preparation
You learn how to change reference designators, create mounting holes, and add mounting holes to the board
Lab 10: Manufacturing Verification (DFF)
You run batch DFF to verify all manufacturing requirements.
Lab 11: Manufacturing Output
You generate silkscreen and Gerber data.
Lab 12: Manufacturing Drawings
You create manufacturing drawings and generate PDF documents of them.
