The package comes in two versions with a free base-platform with basic options and a paid version equipped with more functionality in terms of error reduction and increased integration flow from schematic to testing.Ĭlick on the image below to begin a quick slideshow (slideshow opens in a new tab on your browser). This includes options for design validation and gives users flexible layout options even with 4-layer PCBs with up to 1400 pin designs. The software is actually part of a larger conglomerate - the NI Circuit Design Software package, which allows users to design their own circuits (circuit capture) and run simulations using a SPICE-based app to test the designs on the fly. One of the better-known tools on the market for both circuit design and simulation comes from National Instruments with their Multisim (formerly Electronics Workbench) platform. These software packages cost money but can save you costly mistakes. Here are some popular tools to do virtual testing. In other words, make a digital (virtual) prototype of your board and simulate (model) how it will behave in the real world. It’s best to test your design out virtually. Testing can save you money and time avoiding faulty PCB fabrication because it gives you a chance to fix what doesn’t work before the board is made.
Get help with our excellent pre / post sales support and users' forum, knowhow and online tutorials and videos.Whether you’re a professional printed circuit board designer or do-it-yourselfer, you know that testing your circuit board design is a must.
