DFE+ Result Confirmation

You can confirm the results when the selected test is completed.

The result file has an extension of DFEPR, and it is possible to view only the result afterwards. In other words, the result can be sent to another person who requests only the result data, and the identical result can be viewed by that person as well.

The initial result window is as follows:


Figure 1.
  • Navigation Tree: This section shows the test categories. It is shown in a tree-structure so as to make it convenient for checking each category.
  • Save: This button allows the result data to be saved. (.DFEPR)
  • Load: This button is for loading the pre-saved result data (.DFEPR). The saved result data can be sent to others separately to enable sharing of the result.

  • Total Report List: The analysis result summary is displayed in this window. Upon clicking each item, the Check Result dialog will be displayed where you can review result in more detail.
  • Home: Change a mode to Summary Table.

Impedance Map

It is a function to see the impedance result of each net as a map. Based on the result of the impedance item, the result is displayed on the map.

This function can be checked by clicking Impedance Map in the result of the impedance item.
