Some basic introductions to Tanner Designer

Tanner Designer helps design teams easily track simulation verification diagrams throughout the design cycle

Tanner Designer - The simulation verification management solution design team designs and validates modules to be marketed for composing systems or products. In the product development cycle, they will perform a lot of simulation. Designers need to know whether their design modules are fully validated and meet specifications. System designers need to verify that these modules work together. Project managers need to understand the verification status of each module and the entire system.

Without tools to help them, the team could not handle the massive simulation verification results so that they could barely complete the complete verification of these modules. Usually, simulation results for simulation verification are manually managed, or use very expensive tools, and require detailed settings for each item using a proprietary method, which is difficult for new team members to use. . What the team needs is an easy one

Tanner Designer provides a dashboard that each team member can use to monitor the simulation verification process throughout the design cycle. The design team can use this tool to open T-Spice and Eldo simulation results to view the verification process, rerun targeted simulations, and interact with evaluation details. Tanner Designer uses the familiar Microsoft Excel spreadsheet architecture, which gives design teams the flexibility to obtain specification requirements, formulas for calculating whether the design module meets specifications, and custom reports.

Features and advantages:
■ Track and summarize all simulation data for the entire project ■ Customize gradually as the project progresses ■ Start and rerun the specified simulation ■ Group or sort results and launch specific simulations ■ Generate custom reports for team members via Excel ■ Create documents from reports ■ View simulation results for all team members via dashboards ■ Integrate into Tanner design flow ■ Support T-Spice and Eldo emulation ■ No need to learn specific languages ​​■ Simple setup ■ Easily from Existing simulation results begin

Getting started with Tanner Designer is like using a tool to open a set of existing simulation results and see it in the dashboard. The tool generates an Excel workbook with tabs that provide detailed information for each simulation result.

Easily customize the solution As the project progresses, team members may want to customize the contents of the dashboard or the contents of the report. This is easy to use Excel's flexibility and powerful features to achieve.

Typical customizations include:
â–  Add columns to display additional information such as test names, comments, or other descriptive information â–  Define equations based on assessment information to display information â–  Create complex custom formulas, define whether the assessment passes specification â–  Query the assessment database â–  In Excel Insert chart in table â–  Connect to simulation waveform

Designers can use the dashboard for schematic and waveform interactions and run one or more simulations using T-Spice or Eldo. The project manager can determine the status of the simulation run in order to track the project.
