Power IR/EM vs Voltus-Fi

Hi All.

I understand correctly that there are two tools for IR/EM analysis?
Can anyone explain what difference between "Power IR/EM" vs "Voltus-Fi"?

    Thank you Saloni.

    I'm new in this flows and only study them. I'm using IC617.
    I read the documentation and see two manuals.
    1) "Voltus-Fi Custom Power Integrity Solution User Guide"
    2) "Power IR/EM User Guide"
    And I understand that these are similar but different products.
    I would like to understand why two products?
    What is their difference, dignity, flaws?

    Hi Andrey,

    Voltus-Fi is our new EM/IR solution, while Power IR/EM (or VPS-L) is older. With new products, we put in new functionalities and features, so if you are starting now, please use Voltus-Fi. The old product is still supported for some legacy users who are in the process of migrating over to Voltus-Fi. There are Rapid Adoption Kits available on Voltus-Fi which you can explore:
