Tool and Reporter

Identify what's changed in your PCB Design...

  • Missing, added or changed components
  • Changed package values and tolerances
  • Pin lists changed, renamed or renumbered
  • x/y location changes
  • Test points missing or moved
  • Connectivity changes

... Anytime your design changes!

Identify what's changed in your PCB Design...

DOCTAR reduces the error prone, mundane work of the identifying and tracking changes in a hardware design. Design engineers can make informed trade-offs and implement changes as necessary early in the design cycle, before costly respins are needed. Areas of high cost, such as test fixture re-tooling/re-programming can be identified early in the layout process.

Save Money and Time - Catch Unintended Changes Early

  • Unintended design and netlist changes cost companies millions every year in production delays, costly retooling / refixturing, and even product cancellations. DOCTAR gives you the data you need to:
  • Identify potential problems earlier in the design cycle
  • Eliminate Production Delays
  • Prevent unnecessary and costly fixture rework
  • Save Design Review Time

Ensures Design Data Integrity from Design to Manufacturing

DOCTAR reduces the error prone, mundane work of the identifying and tracking changes in a hardware design.

  • Hardware Design Reviews -- especially for multi-person teams
  • Tracking changes in your database for ECO documentation.
  • Saving time in PCB cost estimating and confirm true scope of work.
  • Ensuring compliance with DFM and DFT standards.
  • Better controls for outsourced design/manufacturing resources

DOCTAR is especially useful when sub-designs are shared among multiple systems. DOCTAR's versatile reporting tools can even focus in on sub-designs to ensure the designs are similar.

DOCTAR is FAST and Easy to Use

 

  • Takes less than 5 min. to install and run.
  • No training or scripting required.
  • Simple graphical (GUI)interface for specifying options.
  • Easy to read HTML and EXCEL report formats - let you punch down to the data you need.

"It used to take us a week to get approvals from our hardware designer just to add a few test points. With DOCTAR, he was able to get us an answer in less than 24 hrs."

DOCTAR is Windows 2000/NT/XP compatible with planned support for Solaris and Linux operating systems.

Doctar currently supports input from OrCAD, PADS, Concept, Orcad, Viewlogic, PowerPCB, PCAD, Allegro, BoardStation, Mentor Expedition and Gencad.
