[PEDA] Signal integrity analysis
Hi all, I am a signal integrity analysis virgin until today. However, it occurred to me that the software must generate a spice netlist which represents the PCB area of interest. Our IC designers could really do with this, so they can add it to their simulations. Does anyone know how I can get this spice netlist information out of Protel? Perhaps there is something I could access through writing a macro...? Any ideas?

[PEDA] Keepouts
Hi, I wish to prevent a polygon from pouring in a certain area. I have used a fill as a keepout on that layer, but I then get DRC errors showing shorts where I have put the fill over tracks. I also get DRC clearance errors where the fill is under a component. Is there a neater way of doing this so it comes up DRC clean?

Re: [PEDA] BOM sorter version 6 now!
Hi Dennis, I have looked at your suggestions, and I have made 1 change to the program, so it now always puts in the hyphen for consecutive designator numbers, whilst stripping similar prefixes. The other suggestions are noted, but I will have to put them on the back-burner for now. Your comment about the 'unformatted' option is noted, but all I've written there is a 'dumb' bit of code that simply looks at similar Part Types and Footprints, and tots them up without even looking at the designators. It's probably just a matter of preference, so I've written what I prefer! The code is unlocked, so anyone can play with it and perhaps come up with some better ideas.

[PEDA] Attachments (BOM sorter)
Hi Abd, If you look back at the first e-mail I sent on this subject, I believed it was going to be rejected, so I asked people to e-mail me directly. I think the attachment rejection still works on attachments greater then a certain size, since an example file I sent got rejected before I zipped it. I presumed at the time that the main reason for rejecting attachments was because of the large size of Protel databases which would be bounced around the world to everyone. I didn't know I needed permission to send attachments, and presuably no-one else did, as no-one else mentioned it. Lastly, I think it was a bit strong chastising me for merely exposing a weakness. Regards David Watling Abd ul-Rahman LomaxTo: Protel EDA Forum [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]cc: com Subject: Re: [PEDA] BOM sorter 24-Jun-2003 05:41 PM Please respond to Protel EDA Forum While the intention to provide a utility to Protel users is appreciated, it is very bad form to send any attachments to a mailing list without permission. At one time this list was set to reject attachments, it appears that this has been lost. This is a serious security issue. A number of us have write access to a Protel user filespace that has been used for this kind of purpose. I've been rather buried lately but I'm sure that there is someone here who would post the files. However, to access the filespace, as I recall, you must be a member of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and accept a yahoo cookie for the session. I think that if you join the list and register with yahoo you may be able to upload the files yourself. As to why the access is limited to list members, the decision was made because the yahoo user agreement in effect provides that material which is accessible to the general public has thereby been placed in the public domain. On the one hand, this might be an argument against using yahoo for the user lists, on the other hand, there are many benefits. In any case, decisions like this rest with the Association, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (You can join these lists by sending a piece of mail to, for example, [EMAIL PROTECTED] In that case you can subscribe and read the lists by regular email without accepting yahoo cookies if that concerns you.) The protel-users family of lists on yahoogroups.com is generally set for moderator approval of membership because of bad experience with spammers. The approval, for anyone who is actually interested in Protel, is merely a formality. I do recommend joining [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you are at all involved with Protel. This is primarily a backup list for the Forum, which you are now reading. If you have an urgent question that pops up unexpectedly, and the Forum seems to be down, you can then ask it there without having to wait for moderator approval of your membership. That list is also open to non-emergency posts regarding Protel issues, but please, except in an emergency, do not post the same message or question to both lists. Either list generally works for getting good support, but the Forum list is larger and includes nearly everyone who is subscribed to the yahoogroups list. The yahoogroups list does, however, count among its members nearly every major writer for the Forum list.

[PEDA] BOM sorter version 2 - please overwrite the original
Hi again Brad all, Try running it on a 'Client spreadsheet' BOM. It will definitely not work on a Protel BOM. It was looping until Part Type was empty, so if any Part types were empty, it stopped there. I have corrected this, so it now checks the first two columns. I don't know what this run time error 13 is - could someone send me a BOM which displays this error? I will write a read.me file soon, as I seem to be getting some interest. I now know how the guys at Protel feel when users start reporting bugs! (See attached file: BOM sorter.xls) Regards David Watling Brad Velander [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: Protel EDA Forum [EMAIL PROTECTED] .comcc: Subject: Re: [PEDA] BOM sorter 20-Jun-2003 09:23 PM Please respond to Protel EDA Forum Well I got the macros to be recognized, had to change the macro security level. Now I have it adding a Qty header and it seems to format the column widths but nothing else happens. To Dave Watling, Dave, I think that your excel wooksheet needs at least a small readme file. It is not as simple as one might think it could be. Can you give us the BOM format, number of columns, headers or no headers, anything else that we might not inherently know. While playing, it did combine two designators onto one line but listed the quantity still as 1. That is as far it would go, just one line and it was in error because it should have had a quantity of 2. It also doesn't seem to handle rows where the first column is blank. And I have now seen the runtime error 13 a number of times as well. Sincerely, Brad Velander. Lead PCB Designer Norsat International Inc.

Hi all, If you've ever pulled your hair out because you can't get a sensible BOM into Excel, for the purpose of ordering parts and assembling PCBs, then I may have the answer. I've written a single click BOM sorter in Excel 2000 VBA, to sort the 'CSV' or 'Client spreadsheet' BOMs into a sensible format, with all similar components on the same row. I'll attempt to attach it here, but it will probably be blocked. However, if you are interested, just send me an e-mail at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (See attached file: BOM sorter.xls) The code is unlocked, so you can play with it. Please note: it doesn't run under Excel97. Regards David Watling BOM sorter.xls Description: application/msexcel
