    - 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.

Use Previous Design File

You can use previous design file environment if you have previous design .pdbb file.

All the required information will be imported automatically, including material, layer, parts, via padstacks, transmission line model and net topology models. You do not need to setup this information again but can modify them.

From the menu bar, click File > Import from the PollEx PCB menu.
In the file explorer, select the desired .pdbb file and click Open.
All the required information is imported automatically, including material, layer, parts, via padstacks, transmission line model and net topology models. You do not need to setup this information again but can modify it.
The imported transmission line models and net topology models are listed in the left-hand side of the PollEx SI Explorer dialog.
