MakeCAP
MakeCAP is an easy-to-use tool for populating the Cadence OrCAD Capture Property Editor with the high-speed properties needed to drive the Cadence Allegro constraint driven flow.

MakeCAP uses a unique data organizing paradigm, a database-linked spreadsheet view, to quickly add properties to your components. All cells tie to the Capture schematic component and netlist database. Engineers select from the available data objects to assign values. Multiple objects can be selected using wildcard searches and pick lists. Entries are error-free and all Property Editor syntax is perfectly defined.

All properties included in the OrCAD Capture Property Editor are supported in MakeCAP. MakeCAP uses the Capture DSN schematic file as its input but the Capture program is not required for use. If Capture is present, MakeCAP cross-probes so objects selected in MakeCAP are highlighted in the Capture program. Using the Capture database as its source, MakeCAP allows the creation of PinPairs for complex propagation timing properties in the Capture Property Editor.


Benefits:


•    Define values and objects with perfect syntax reducing errors
•    Organize properties for the Allegro Constraint Manager and high-speed flow
•    View properties in both Schematic and Constraint Manager-style views
•    Compare properties between schematic versions
•    Define differential pairs and rules
•    Cross-probe from MakeCap to an open schematic in OrCAD Capture
•    Versions of MakeCAP are available for Node, LAN and WAN application environments.
