ERF Variable

Description

v_consider_board_net

Enables you to calculate and consider board nets. A board net is a net that calculated on the 3 dimensions of the board through the board layers.

When v_consider_board_net = No, the SMA action does not consider board nets. This is the default value.

When v_consider_board_net = Yes, the action considers a same board net as a same net. This affects two checks:

          Bridge checks: If the two corresponding pads in the signal layer belong to the same board net, then this is not considered a bridging      problem.

          Coverage check : If you specify splitting the coverage reports to the Same_Net_Coverage and Coverage categories through the ERF variable v_split_coverage_reports , and the coverage is between elements in the same board net, the problem is also reported in the Same_Net_Coverage category.

 

When v_consider_board_net = Yes , the action calculates the step's board nets automatically. This can increase action run time.
