"Original" Capture CIS using an Access database to create a wrapper library description

1, set up a new space on the server side, convenient packaging library and database archive storage

Server path: \\192.168.1.234\Share\STG_LIB, folder contents as follows, wherein Datesheet holds material data sheet, Pcb_lib store Allegro package, Schematic_lib storage capture package, Stg_datebase Store database files.

2. Build an Access database

1) Open the Access software, execute the new command, and pop up the following window. In the lower right corner, select the location and set the file name and click Create. (2007 or above version file suffix "ACCDB", 2003 version file suffix "mdb")

2) See the Blank Data table interface, click Save, enter the appropriate name, this example is named "Capacitor", the table that holds the capacitor library.

3) Add related fields, the meaning of each field is briefly described as follows:

part_number: Item code

part_type: Material model

Value: Values

Description: Material description

Schematic_part: Schematic package

pcb_footprint:P CB Package

manufacturer: Manufacturer information

MANUFACTURER_PN: Vendor Item code

Remark: Remark information

4) Similarly, the establishment of other resistors, inductors, ICS and other data sheets, add material information to the appropriate location, save the database file.

3. Configure the data source

1) Open the Computer Control Panel and select the Administration tool.

2) Double-click the data source

3) switch to the System DSN, click Add Access Driver, select. mdb or ACCDB

4) Select the database file that you just created, select the path here:

\\192.168.1.234\Share\STG_LIB\STG_datebase\Lib_datebase

5) You can see that the database has been added to the System DSN

4. Configure Capture CIS

1) Open capture CIS software arbitrary schematic design page

2) Click the menu bar options---CIS Configuration

3) In the CIS configuration window that pops up, click New

4) a previously configured data source will appear in the Datebase list, select Stg_lib, and proceed to the next step.

5) Tick the database list item, empty list does not need, ignore.

6) This step is to confirm the contents of the database properties and schematic design attributes of the consistent confirmation, click the next step to complete the check.

7) Tick the Footprint option and click to proceed to the next step.

8) Transfer to design column is all selected, the Database property content is written to the period attribute (very critical operation) Schematic_part item is not selected by default.

9) ICA Properti is an online device library, neither of which can be selected directly by clicking Finish.

All Transfer to design columns are selected.

11) Select "No" below the warning message that pops up.

12) Select the storage path (here: \\192.168.1.234\SHARE\STG_LIB\STG_DATEBASE\PART_DBC) to save.

5, using CIS Explorer call package database drawing schematic diagram

1) before invoking the database, you need to set the library encapsulation address parameter to make it easier to preview the item details when filtering the device.

Open the Software installation directory with the Notepad tool: Capture.ini file in D:\cadence\SPB_16.6\tools\capture,

Sets the library and package library directories that are linked to the database datebase.

[Allegro Footprints]

Dir0=d:\cadence\spb_16.6\share\pcb\pcb_lib\symbols

Dir1=d:\cadence\spb_16.6\share\library\stg_brook

[Symbol Selector configured Libraries]

Library0=d:\cadence\spb_16.6\tools\capture\library\pspice\source.olb

Library1=d:\cadence\spb_16.6\tools\capture\library\stg_brook\libary. OLB

Above two parameters, Allegro footprints points to the PCB Footprint Library path, the Symbol Selector configured libraries points to the schematic Footprint library path. If you need to add more directories, you can click Dir1,dir2 ... Library1,library2 ... Wait for the new folder.

2) Open the schematic, click Options---CIS Configuration, execute browse to locate the server side. DBC database files, such as.

3) schematic page click the right mouse button, select Place Datebase part (or shortcut z), pop up CIS Explorer window, select the required items (green represents the package library and database matching, can be placed from the database device; Red means mismatch, unable to place the device)
