ASSALAMUALAIKUM W.B.T

hi.. this week ive got a test.. yeah.. the ultiboard one..only one lecture and then TEST!!! can u imagine that?
with my lappy that can install the MULTISIM AND ULTIBORD ~ really a headache for me!!!
but thanks to my friend, i can practice using it by borrowing their lappy for a while..
i will not blogging bout my test but i will share bout ULTIBOARD!!


WHAT IS NI ULTIBOARD??

               an electronic Printed Circuit Board Layout program which is part of a suite of circuit design  
               programs, along with NI Multisim. One of its major features is the Real Time Design Rule Check,
              a feature that was only offered on expensive work stations in the days when it was introduced.
              ULTIboard was originally created by a company named Ultimate Teachnology, which is
              now a subsidiary of National Instruments. Ultiboard includes a 3D PCB viewing mode, as well
              as integrated import and export features to the Shematic Capture and Simulation software in
              the suite, Multisim.

BENEFITS OF NI ULTIBOARD

1. Easy-to-Use Design Environment

   The NI Ultiboard interface enables efficient layout and routing of PCB designs. Integration with NI   Multisim allows seamless transfer of schematics to layout. The customizable environment ensures accessibility to desired features for immediate productivity. Tools such as the spreadsheet view, toolbox and design wizards easily manage, control and define any board layout.

Part placement and copper routes are optimized to either allow full control for precise definition of critical parts or automation for quick design completion.   The 3D preview renders a completed, populated board to gain a virtual perspective before production. Ultiboard exports and produces industry standard format such as Gerber and DXF to take a final, optimized board to prototype and manufacture.

The Ultiboard product editions (Full, Power Pro) provide a complete set of tools for professional PCB layout:

• Intuitive, user-friendly design environment
• Integrated spreadsheet view for managing design constraints, part placement, and copper routing
• Easy-to-use design tools optimized for speed or precise control
• Export to industry standard file formats such as Gerber and DXF for prototype and manufacturing

2.    Layout and Routing

Ultiboard features intuitive tools for manual and automated part placement and routing. These tools combine to reduce the effort and time needed to complete repetitive tasks in PCB design. The flexble push-and-shove environment combined with placement processes  ensure quick layout. Trace placement in Ultiboard offers flexibility to quickly and efficiently adjust based on the degree of design complexity.

• Quickly find and place components with Pick-and-Place and Component Sequencer functionality
• Utilize the follow-me router and connection machine for immediate input and suggestion to any trace placement
• Access the speed and efficiency of the advanced Autoplace and Autoroute tools
• Use the autorouting functionality of former Electronics Workbench Ultiroute, which is now included in NI Ultiboard

3. Integrated Design

Seamless integration with NI Multisim allows easy transfer of schematics to layout to quickly define a board for manufacture. Cross-probing ensures any landpattern can be selected at board level to simultaneously highlight the Multisim schematic counterpart. Forward and back annotation ensures that changes made at either the schematic or layout level are always reflected in both versions of a design. The overall integrated experience is paramount in providing an easy and quick flow from design and validation in Multisim to final prototype with Ultiboard.

• Easily transfer schematics to layout with seamless integration with NI Multisim
• Cross-probe NI Multisim schematics to immediately gain insight on how to design your PCB
• Forward and back annotate any changes made to the design

4. Streamlined Design Flow

Move from concept to manufacturing seamlessly within an integrated tool-chain, with NI Multisim capture and simulation, NI Ultiboard layout and NI LabVIEW test and measurement.


ok, now lets take a look on

HOW TO USE NI ULTIBOARD

first,
lets watch this video
:D

I hope u can understand as much as i can

:)

in the short way



 Assume that i have already transferred a completed schematic to a PCB for layout and are now in a review cycle, making changes to the original schematic that need to be reflected in the PCB layout. Assume that i have received an engineering change order (ECO) requiring that i had change the footprint of R1 from RES0.5 to RES0.25. i will change the footprint associated with this resistor then forward annotate the change to Ultiboard.

1. From within Multisim select resistor R1 on the schematic.
2. Double-click on the component and click on the Edit Footprint button.
3. Click on the Select from Database button.
4. From within the Select a Footprint dialog box, select the RES0.25 footprint (as pictured in Figure 1 below). Click on the Select button.     
5. Click on the OK button to save the changes.

Figure 1: Footprint Change

   6.   Click on the OK button to exit the component properties dialog box.

The resistor R1 now has the RES0.25 footprint rather than the default RED0.5 footprint.
To forward annotate this change to Ultiboard:

1. In Multisim select Transfer >> Forward Annotate to Ultiboard
2. In the Save-As dialog box, save the annotated netlist to the same name as the layout filename (SpeechFilter.ewnet). Click the Save button.
3. Ultiboard will warn you that you are replacing the existing Ultiboard netlist with this new version and that this change cannot be undone. Click OK.
4. In the Default Track Width and Clearance dialog box select the desired clearance and width settings. Click OK.
5. Ultiboard informs you of the specific netlist changes (in this case the new resistor). Click OK.

The new resistor has been transferred to the original layout. Notice that the change has pulled the resistor R1 out of the board outline (as shown in Figure 2 below). This is to indicate that the component has been replaced and must now be placed and routed into the design.

 easy right?
haha ^^
thats why i love this class..
coz i can play along with all the instruments..

lets see another video so that we can LEARN MORE, UNDERSTAND MORE

p/s: in my opinion. this video is more helpful..how do u think?
:D



REMEMBER!!!!

Forward annotation is a critical step in the design cycle and is the main process to ammend PCB layouts with fixes to errors that were discovered through prototype testing. With Multisim's tight integration to Ultiboard, a simple and easy-to-use procedure ensures that all updates to a schematic are automatically realized in PCB layouts


in my opinion, multisim is easier than ultiboard..haha
but its ok,
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!!
AJA AJA HWAITING!!
GAMBATTE KUDASAI!!

thats all from me :)
wishing u all SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILADHA!!
and may Allah bless us all


p/s : cant wait to go home.. :)
        really miss my family lorh..but i need to gain the success first..pray for me ya :)
