Designing with DxDesigner

Duration 3 Days

Description The Designing with DxDesigner course was developed to improve your knowledge and skills. Using the DxDesigner subset of the ePD tools suite, you will gain proficiency in project management with Dashboard, schematic capture with DxDesigner, part selection using DxDatabook and much more. Detailed lab exercises help reinforce what is discussed during the lectures and provide you with extensive tool usage experience under the guidance of our industry expert instructors. You will learn how to Use DxDesinger proficiently in the creation of flat and hierarchical schematic designs Place wires and buses in the design to create net connections Create symbols for your schematics through a variety of methods, including: ViewGen and the Symbol Wizard Effectively build intelligence into your design using attributes Annotate and Document the schematic design using DxDesigner Utilities including: DxPDF, Partslister, and the cross-reference utility Setup, run, and interpret results of the PCB netlister utility Use DxDatabook to search, select, and verify parts used in your design Hands-On Labs Throughout this course, extensive hands-on lab exercises provide you with practical experience using DxDesigner software. All labs are written to support both the classic method of libraries and the DxDatabook method. Hands-on lab topics include: Creating a project and setting up a project file Configuring DxViewDraw Schematic creation Symbol graphics creation Symbol attibutes Net label cross-referencing and OLE Netlist creation Audience Engineers and schematic designers who will use DxDesigner to create schematics that will be used as "front end" designs primarily for layout systems CAD Engineers and Managers who will be responsible for integration of the DxDesigner tool suite in their design flow PCB Designers who would like to have a good understanding of the front-end schematic capture process Prerequisites Familiarity with Windows XP, 2000 Pricing for North America Public Training: $2100.00 per student.
