Virtuosity: Updated Virtuoso ADE Explorer and ADE Assembler RAKs in IC6.1.8/ICADVM18.1 ISR9

To show the latest features in IC6.1.8/ICADVM18.1 ISR9, we've updated the popular Rapid Adoption Kit for Virtuoso® ADE Assembler and Virtuoso® ADE Explorer. In addition, we have updated the Using the Stimuli Assignment Form RAK.

If you have not had a chance to work through our RAKs yet, I encourage you to give them a try as these RAKs will make it easy for you to use our products efficiently. This Virtuoso ADE Explorer and Virtuoso ADE Assembler RAK will help you swiftly migrate from Virtuoso ADE L and Virtuoso ADE XL to Virtuoso ADE Explorer and Virtuoso ADE Assembler, respectively. It will also work as a great learning resource if you are looking for help on setting up tests, adding measurements with the Expression Builder, or adding specifications. You can try out this RAK even for running Monte Carlo simulations or for running simulations over multiple sweeps and corners, or a single point. In addition, the RAK covers the 'how to' information about plotting templates and performing waveform comparisons.

The Maestro SKILL interface is also explained in the RAK. You can work through the RAK to practice setting up and running verification plans and sharing setup information between designs.

That's not all, the RAK covers several latest enhancements in the area over the last few ISRs including the Multi-Test Editor, which allows you to compare and change test settings across tests.

If you were looking to find out more, or just want some practice with using the enhanced Stimuli Assignment form, then we have updated the Using the Stimuli Form in Virtuoso ADE Assembler and ADE Explorer RAK, too.

With our latest upgrades to the products and all the enhanced support collateral, we're confident you will feel no less than a Maestro at Virtuoso ADE Explorer and Virtuoso ADE Assembler! If you thought we have missed any useful features in our RAKs, we’re happy to hear from you so we can accommodate your suggestions in our next upgrade of the RAKs.
