PanLink

Fully scalable transmission program.

PanLink is used for the transmission of schematic and layout data between EDA systems from different manufacturers. Depending on the licensing, PanLink can be used as a transfer program for schematics and circuit symbols for circuit board data and component data and as a complete desgin transmission / transfer library. Similarly, a migration of E-CAD cable plans is possible.

With the internal data base of PanLink it is possible to change and to store the design data independent from the E-CAD system.

Applications:

 

Migration

  • Change of EDA System
  • Unification of EDA systems (e.g. harmonization of different systems in case of mergers)
  • Exchange of data when different EDA systems are used
  • Maintenance and backup of old data
  • Discontinuation of EDA systems and hardware platforms

Transition

  • Exchange of component information (properties, components).
    This is a special form of migration. The data are accurately transferred to a new system and at the same time the current library is accessed.

Data Management

  • Extraction of design information from the E-CAD data (e.g. net information on design rules)
  • Data backup (Neutral Design DataBase – * .eda)

PanLink® helps to save the intellectual property of your company. It is one of the best scalable – flexible –innovative — migration tools available on the market.

PanLink – Editions

Thanks to the scalable PanLink software, various different applications can be covered. The required edition will be activated and configured with the license management.

PanLink® Schematic Migration

The PanLink software transfers the schematic data from a source system to a destination system. In the destination system the data can be freely processed.

PanLink® Layout Migration

The PanLink software transfers the circuit board data from a source system to a destination system. In the destination system the data can be freely processed.

PanLink® Schematic and Layout Design Migration

The PanLink software transfers the design data from a source system to a destination system. In the destination system the data can be freely processed.

PanLink® Schematic and Layout Library Migration

With PanLink software it is possible to transfer complete E-CAD libraries from a source system to a destination system. Because of the scalability, fundamental modifications can be conducted, e. g. all kind of attributes can be exchanged, deleted or completed. A new library can be generated, which can be used immediately.

PanLink® „Mixed“ Design Migration

The PanLink software can import E-CAD design data from different sources and transfer them to a destination system, e. g. the source schematic is Mentor Design Architect, the source layout is Cadence Allegro. Both source data are imported, synchronized and transferred to a third system, the destination system.

PanLink® E-CAD Cable Migration

E-CAD cable software applications are highly-specialized software packages for designing cable layout plans and switch cabinets. PanLink can import de cable layout plans and transfer them to a destination system.
