ParCAM

Dramatically increase your productivity with PAR (Producibility Analysis Report with netlist EXTract). This software program, which runs prior to CAM, reads customers data immediately and gives a complete analysis of the data. Any potential problems are then communicated with the customer. With PAR, this entire cycle takes minutes instead of days with conventional tools.

PAR uses advanced algorithms to automatically read and optimize incoming data including net and aperture lists. After reading in the data, PAR goes beyond traditional DRCs by giving a statistical analysis of the data. This entire process is done with minimal operator intervention. Because the entire process with PAR is completed quickly, potential problems are immediately communicated to the customer. Finding and correcting these problems early in the design cycle dramatically increases productivity.
