Schematic Capture

Easy to learn, yet packed with professional-level features to assist you in rapid capture of your circuit.

Fully integrated

Schematic Capture is supplied with every Pulsonix PCB design suite as an integrated editor. It is also available as a separate standalone product for engineering environments.
When used as a standalone product, not only can you add the Pulsonix Spice simulator but you can also export netlists in industry standard formats.

Schematic Capture Environment

Easy to use

Pulsonix Schematic Capture is quick and easy to learn and use. Schematic designs can be created quickly using the feature-rich toolset available. With features ranging from flat or multi-sheet multi-instanced hierarchy to electrical rules checking, Pulsonix Schematic Capture is a clean versatile tool to have.

Pulsonix Schematic Capture uses drag-and-drop methodology throughout, This speeds up your design throughput as it eliminates the need for constantly changing ‘modes’ of operation. If you need to move a component, pick and drag it into its new location.

Electrical Rules can easily be added as required, or can be imported from an existing technology file. Not only ERC rules but also all your design constraints and net class rules required when the design moves to the layout stage. Constraints can be mastered into the Schematic early on in the design cycle.
Connections between devices are simply added by touching an electrical terminal and dragging off. Likewise, ending a connection is simply a matter of touching the target source and releasing. Multi-level Undo and Redo are available at all times with unlimited undo levels.

PCB Layout

Innovative yet easy-to-use PCB design editor, Pulsonix includes many leading edge features for the casual and professional designer alike.

Scalable

Sold in three variants, you can purchase Pulsonix based on three component pin count options: 1000, 2000 and Unlimited Pins. From these base variants, you can build up your product depending on the complexity of your designs or the required integration into your company systems.

Flexible

FlexibleFlexibility is the key – Pulsonix PCB can be driven from the integrated Schematic capture editor, an external netlist or another Schematic capture system, or from within the Pulsonix PCB editor itself by directly creating the PCB on-the-fly without the need for a formal schematic diagram, such is the strength and flexibility of the product.
Pulsonix PCB Design Environment

Full range of manufacturing outputs

Pulsonix includes a complete range of manufacturing outputs at no extra cost.

  • Gerber photoplotting to X2, RS274X and RS274D
  • Excellon drill & route
  • Windows printing
  • PDF
  • HP/GL plotters
  • ODB++
  • GenCAD
  • DXF

A product with depth

Pulsonix has already set new standards with its powerful toolset. Another key feature of Pulsonix is its ability to present tools to casual and professional users. Whether you use Pulsonix everyday as your design tool or on a casual basis for occasional projects, Pulsonix is instantly familiar, highly customisable, flexible and powerful. Yet, it always feels right to use.
Technology files offer constraint management and flexible rules which can be easily applied across all your designs. They also speed up the new design process and giving you total consistency throughout.
User interaction through the graphical user interface is slick and intuitive, component placement and track routing is easy and effortless. No special modes are required, as with all Microsoft style applications Pulsonix uses ‘drag & drop’ methodology to make the interaction as easy as possible.
