The NetBom EndPoint Compare Operation Enables operation enables the user to cross-check connections between 2 Endpoints two endpoints in 2 two different NetListsnetlists.
The common usage of this is to verify connections made between connectors in 2 designs.
Use Case
Lets Let's say you have a MotherBoard motherboard design with a Connector Endpoint connector endpoint named J1.
A Networking Card networking card connects its P3 Connector EndPoint into connector endpoint to the motherBoard J1 connector.
You set the Netlist1 Entry to point config to the Orcad . DSN file or Netlist netlist for The the motherboard.
Set the Netlist2 Entry config to point to the Orcad . DSN file or Netlist netlist for the Networking Cardnetworking card.
You use the EndPoint Compare GUI to setup set up the NETBOM_ENDPOINT_COMPARE Entry entry to ‘J1J1:P3’P3.
The EP_COMPARE_CONFIG can also provide a Pin Connection Map be provided a pin connection map file in the form of a spreadsheet or CSV file if the cards connect through a cable that is not mapped 1:1.
...
Next You , you run the EndPoint Compare Operationoperation.
NetBom will build a spreadsheet and an interactive HTML webpage web report comparing the NetNames net names that are connected to the same pin (or remapped _ pin) of each Endpoint endpoint.
It will provide a match score using a proprietary Fuzzy Matching algorithm for the netNames net names between the 2 two designs.
