Implement Power Supply sense lines

archive

This can be handled in concept by using the net_short property so it will package, but this doesn't quide or help the Allegro designer. What is the best way to implement a sense line to a DUT pin and allow it to be a separate net until it connects to the power pin of the DUT. The use of single pin connector or zero ohm series resistors have limitations when wanting to use a shielded interlayer.
Anything I can think of in concept just makes the packager work, but doesn't isolate the net so that the sense line can run through the voltage plane, and be voided. Is there is best solution?

    Another method is known as "Kelvin connection". There are some physical parts that support a 'sense' connection. Another way is to add two additional pins to the sense resistor and tap off of the main pad. The part when installed properly will cover the main current pad and the sense pad.
