Understanding Design Rules and Constraints in Altium Designer

GSAS Engineering · · 1 min read

Every logical schematic design defines requirements for your physical PCB. Satisfying these requirements require understanding and consistency throughout the entire design process. How do you validate every requirement while maintaining accuracy?

This webinar will discuss how Altium Designer® supports your design process with hierarchical rules and constraints. Knowing how to define design guidelines enables you to create first pass designs without having to memorize every requirement.

Friday, April 10, 2020 | 11:00 AM- 12:00 PM (IST)

  • Define scope, category, and prioritization of design constraints
  • Validate and report logical and physical design requirements
  • Automate and resolve DFM and electrical checks

Test Case Design with the Classification Tree Method: Deriving Unit Tests You Can Defend in an Audit

Ad-hoc test cases can be perfectly good tests and still fail an audit, because nothing on file records why that particular set was sufficient. The Classification Tree Method derives test cases from the input space instead: identify the test-relevant aspects as classifications, partition each into equivalence classes, then combine leaf classes in a combination table. Razorcat implements CTM in the Classification Tree Editor, available integrated into TESSY or standalone. GSAS Micro Systems is the authorized Razorcat engineering partner for India, the UAE and Sri Lanka.
