DOCTAR - Design Object Compare Tool and Reporter

DOCTAR - Design Object Compare Tool and Reporter Description:

DOCTAR is used validate design changes throughout the hardware board design and manufacturing lifecycle. DOCTAR analyzes changes to both to physical and logical elements in the design database. Test point analysis includes test points that have been moved, added, deleted, or reprogrammed (used on a new net); nets with multiple test points, nets with no test points, and probe locations that require software changes because of net renames or merges. DOCTAR highlights any current test probe located within 100 mils of a deleted test point to help prevent potential problems when reworking the fixture. DOCTAR also reports component adds/deletes, moves, and renames, renamed nets, single pin networks, changed packages, pin lists, package tolerances and values. DOCTAR is used for hardware design and sub-design reviews, ECO documentation, PCB cost estimation, and for ensuring compliance with DFM and DFT standards, especially when managing outsourced design/manufacturing resources. DOCTAR supports Allegro, Concept, Orcad, Mentor, PADS, Viewlogic input file format formats. Reports are output in HTML web-browser and Excel formats, and includes high-level summary and detailed reporting to component/net level. DOCTAR software runs under Windows NT/2000/XP operating systems.
