Software Description:
The name EAGLE is an acronym, which stands forEasily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor. This award winningsoftware offers user friendly, powerful and affordable solutionsfor PCB design, including Schematic Capture, Board Layout andAutorouter. User Language Programs enable features such assimulation and 3D-visualization.
The award winning EAGLE is a powerful and flexible PCB designsoftware offering high level functionality of expensive commercialcircuit board design software at a fraction of the cost for over 25years. EAGLE offers the three modules: Schematic-Editor, LayoutEditor and Autorouter embedded on one single interface. EAGLE iseasy to learn, easy to use. It runs on Linux, Mac and Windows andallows feature enhancement, such as simulation, 3D-visualization,data import and export and self defined commands.
Here are some key Features of “EAGLE”:
Autorouter
The existing autorouter is based on a rip-up retry algorithm inwhich it takes into consideration that parameters defined in DesignRule Checker & NetClass. This is a single thread process bywhich the end user needs to run the autorouter multiple to testdifferent configuration.
The new autorouter for v7 augments the existing algorithm. One ofthe most noticeable effects of the new autorouter is that it isMulti-Threaded and therefore can take advantage of Multicoreprocessors.
Multi-Threaded
This means that the autorouter can run multiple configurationssimultaneously. The user will be able to select the best outcomethat accommodates his design.
On computers with multiple core processors each thread can own itsown processor core. This optimizes EAGLE’s use of the availablehardware.
TopRouter
The new autorouter includes the option to use our TopRouter. Thisintricate process will result in boards with significantly lesspoints of transition compared to our previous algorithm. This willresult in very cost effective optimal boards that will need lessmanual interaction by the end user.
Hierarchical design
This feature stems from multiple surveys hosted by CadSoft andrequests monitored by our support and development team. Hierarchaldesign helps designers to organize large schematic designs intosmall functional blocks which can then be assigned to variousmembers of a team. It helps collaborative design teams to work onspecific areas of a large complex design, which can then be easilyintegrated.
At the end all these designs can be integrated due to our newlyimplement hierarchal design capability. This also favours designre-use by allowing blocks of one design to be used in anotherdesign.
Export of IDF files
CadSoft Computer has created and included in EAGLE v7 an intricateULP that will allow users to export an IDF file of the circuitboard. This file is compatible with most mechanical programs.
What is IDF?
The IDF (Intermediate Data Format) file represents the maximumdimension (length, width and height) of a component in the form ofa block. These blocks act as placeholders for exact 3D models ofthe individual components. This basic model can be used as apreliminary check in any suitable mechanical designapplication.
GUI makeover
Version 7 also means a modernized graphic look of the userinterface. The icons used since the beginning have been replaced bynew and modern images that are self explaining and supportimproving the usability of EAGLE from a visual perspective. TheEAGLE user can choose between the classic and the modernized iconstyle.
