    - Introduction
      Signal integrity (SI) is a measure of the quality of an electrical signal.
    - Setup Methods
      The PollEx SI Explorer is a pre-layout simulation tool. It can be used for experimenting with various topology options to find routing constraints for critical nets.
    - Start from Scratch
      For easy building up the practical complex topologies, this feature allows you to study versatile net topologies depending on signaling types, for example: Single-ended, Differential, and Multi-coupled using built-in topology model libraries.
    - Setup Via Padstacks
      Manage via padstacks for electrical analysis.
    - Use Previous Design File
      You can use previous design file environment if you have previous design .pdbb file.
    - Analysis
      In this section, you can learn how to do pre-layout SI Analysis.
      - Edit Electrical Analysis Constraints
        View editable versatile control parameters which influence the simulation/analysis results for network, electromagnetic field, eye-diagram, and SPICE.
      - Transmission Line Analysis
      - Net Topology Analysis
        Net topology analysis is used to construct or view the detailed physical topology of nets schematically and run signal integrity analysis on the interconnect network model.
