| External PWB CAD Tool Evaluations
---------------------------------
A summary of PWB Vendor Evaluations completed to date by CADSE (CAD Systems
Engineering) is available on CADSE::DOC$USER:. The purpose of this survey is
to provide information to determine the strengths and weaknesses of VLS, as it
supports DEC's Users and Technology needs under development by CADSE versus
the capabilities offered by commercially available external vendor products.
This is a "living" document. It summarizes the physical design CAD tools
evaluated thus far by CADSE. New evaluations will be added as they are
completed. Existing evaluations may be revised as new information becomes
available.
If you have any questions, corrections or comments, please contact Kathy Lott
at CADSE::LOTT, DTN 287-3405.
Market Research Index
---------------------
The following is a description of all files comprising the
Market Research Vendor Evaluations (Market.doc) done for CADSE.
All files are found in CADSE::DOC$USER. You may print the entire document
or only those parts you desire. This directory will be updated as new
vendors are added.
For a quick reference to get a summary of the status to date of the
vendor evaluations read the files mr*status.mem or mr_pwb_status.mem,
mr_r_status.mem and mr_ta_status.mem separately.
The Market.doc document is made up of sub-sections identified by the following
prefixes. This document has grown rather large and discretion should be used
when printing. You may only need to print a portion of the document. A
list of subfiles is included for that reason.
MR_* All files pertaining to Market.doc
MR_PWB_* PWB Vendor System Evaluations
MR_R_* Routing Vendor Evaluations
MR_TA_* Thermal Analysis Vendor Evalations
The file extention indicate different types of information available.
*.doc Represents the entire document or sections of the document.
Caution: These files have become very lengthy and you may
only want to print portions of them.
mr*status.mem Provides brief a summary of the status to date for each
evaluation.
*.com Command files used to build the document
*.mem Introduction to sections and the subjective vendor evaluations.
*.lis Check list of functional features of a system.
