Extracting Multiple Nets from PCB Editor into SigXplorer

I hope that this question is appropriate for this forum

I am using the "L" version of PCB Performance and SigXplorer and am still somewhat new to them.

I am trying to use the Topology Extract feature to extract a net into SigXplorer. The net is actually divided into 2 individual nets with 2 net names. Net #1 is routed from the driving source to one side of a series terminating resistor. Net #2 connects the other side of the term. resistor to the receiver.

Using Topology Extract, I can only seem to extract one net or the other (including the resistor) into SigXplorer. How do I specify that I want to extract the entire net (from source to receiver)?

Thank You

Nick

You can change a device type in Logic - Parts List but if you have correctly assigned an espice model to the rpack, this should not be a problem.

Extracting through the resistor should work (eventually!). Make sure you have PinConnections.

When all else fails, you can extract the two nets separately and then use the File -> Append feature to glue them together. That feature is powerful yet simple, and works quite well.

Hi,

I've seen cases in the L version of the tools where you need to run Tools, Database check inside the PCB Editor in order for it to recognize the xnet after assigning espice models to resistors - so try that.

Best regards,
Ole
