An extension to the DXE200 API
has been added to support the accessing of data associated with
different design configurations. Design configurations are supported
in many EDA systems by back-annotating information onto a design
hierarchy. Different design configurations are created by developing
different back-annotation data sets, and the DXE200 now supports
multiple design configurations per hierarchical design. Mentor
Graphics' Design Architect represents this information with their Viewpoint
feature. ViewLogic's ViewDraw uses their OAT files to represent
this type of information. The DataXpress Integrator products that
support Mentor DA (DXL801) and ViewLogic (DXL1801) now fully support
the translation of design configuration information. And, other
DataXpress Integrator products are being enhanced to also support
this feature
PTC's (OHIO Design Automation's) InterComm
product uses DataXpress' integration technology for Schematic
and Symbol Library design data. DataXpress' DXL801 (Mentor Graphics
DA) and DXL1801 (Mentor Graphics DxDesigner) schematic/symbol data translators
have been fully qualified for use with PTC's InterComm. Using
DataXpress' integration technology Mentor's Viewpoints and DxDesigner's
OATs are also fully supported by InterComm. For more information
about PTC's product line go to www.ptc.com
The DXL801, Mentor Graphics
DA Schematic/Symbol Writer now captures Mentor's Viewpoint Back-annotation
information. This information is accessable by any application
that uses the DXE200
Configuration API.
The DXL1801, Mentor Graphics (ViewLogic) DxDesigner (ViewDraw)
Schematic/Symbol Writer now captures DxDesigner's OAT Back-annotation
information. This information is accessable by any application
that uses the DXE200
Configuration API.
