Save Time, Get the Best of Both Worlds with CADSTAR Eł.logic;
The Alternative Front-End PCB Design Solution
 March 4, 2008 – Munich, Germany and Westford, MA, USA; Opening up a world of new opportunities, Zuken integrates the CADSTAR PCB design environment with the Eł.series electro technical design solution to launch CADSTAR Eł.logic. This new product offers the best of both worlds, allowing users to design PCBs in CADSTAR while providing full integration within the Eł.series solution for synchronization with electrical design. Electrical and electronic engineers are no longer worlds apart; they can now work on the same design in parallel, significantly helping to reduce time-to-market. For a completely harmonized product development process, CADSTAR Eł.logic also enables easy integration with specific MRP, ERP and PDM Systems.
Design Control
Design integration at this fundamental level saves time in the design process in many ways. From a design perspective, it allows layout coordination from stage one, minimizing changes to the PCB later in the process. From a library management perspective, it uses one database, with parts sets that easily integrate with databases for activities such as managing the product lifecycle and purchasing. CADSTAR Eł.logic is the obvious solution for an organization seeking opportunities to streamline activities and eliminate redundant processes.
Ease-of-use
CADSTAR Eł.logic is an alternative schematic design option to CADSTAR schematic for those who need to synchronize electrical and electronic design processes. It has the look and feel of other Eł.series applications and is based on the same easy-to-use, flexible, object-oriented database. Open and modify existing CADSTAR PCB designs, as well as create new designs from scratch within the new tool; all can be viewed as a standard Eł file within the Eł project structure. Complete integration with all CADSTAR such as easy cross-probing, and forward/backward annotation providing quick access to all design data at any stage in the design process.
By the virtue of being based on the Eł.database, CADSTAR Eł.logic fully integrates with electrical design for cables, harnesses and panels. Electrical designers working on other parts of the product have direct access to the PCB schematic to synchronize designs from the beginning.
“By integrating CADSTAR and Eł.series for schematic design, we are able to provide the missing link for companies who seek full integration of the electrical and electronics design process. Typically, makers of telecoms products, machinery and computers will get the most benefit from this type of solution.”
CADSTAR Eł.logic is available from date at $1.700 /€ 1.700. For more information contact your local CADSTAR distributor or visit www.zuken.com/cadstar_E3.logic
