The Pulsonix EDA product range has set a new standard in the electronics industry with high performance yet easy-to-learn and easy-to-use Schematic capture and PCB layout tools. Developed by a leading team of EDA professional software engineers, Pulsonix is a completely integrated Schematic and PCB tool suite designed to meet the changing needs of PCB design in the 21st century. With each new release Pulsonix has raised the bar on standards for PCB design tools, and as a result an increasing number of well known electronic equipment manufacturers have switched tools and standardised on the Pulsonix range. These customers always seek high performance software matched with superior levels of support and customer response – they found this with Pulsonix. As a certified developer under the Microsoft® Development Partner Program, Westdev is able to offer the exciting Pulsonix product suite using the very latest software writing techniques in graphics and data handling to bring you the best-in-class tools. Our developers understand the need for high quality and fast response times, their dynamism is reflected in the products and services we offer and are unparalleled anywhere in the industry. And with Version 7.5 the current release, Pulsonix is mature, stable, and brimming with advanced features. The new Component Variant spreadsheet enables you to edit variant related component information in an easy-to-read and edit spreadsheet. Each component is represented in the spreadsheet as it would be in the Properties dialog, but this dialog allows fast transition between components where multiple items need to be managed. STEP Mechanical Interface Where STEP models incorporate unique colours, these colours will now be used when importing the models for use in the built-in STEP previewer and when exporting to a STEP file. During the export of STEP files, Component identifier tags are added to the file, STEP export now includes Component Names and Part Names for downstream use in the mechanical CAD system. Where positional changes have been made in the mechanical CAD system, these can now be annotated back into the PCB using the import of STEP component positional changes option. 3D Viewer Package Shapes For use with the Pulsonix 3D Viewer, new 3D Package Shapes are included for BEAD, MELF, DILSwitch and LEDdisplay. Where Axial components are created in the Package Editor, this type can now defined using rounded ends (as well as square ends). In addition to new shapes, colour-coded bands on components has been enabled. This allows component values to be translated into true colour coding on the package for items such as resistors, capacitors and diodes. When using the 3D Viewer, you can now save the image to a file for inclusion into your documentation.
