The Input NetList File(s) contain input netlist file contains verbose information about the design, including Netsnets, Net net connections, Net Propertiesnet properties, Pins and Pin Properties and Parts and Part Properties. The Files pins and pin properties, and parts and part properties. The files are built for machine processing and are not friendly for user viewing.
The netlist conversion operation in NetBom creates a set of reports containing important data from the design files that are easy to read, filter, and sort.
When the user selects the Convert NetList operation, NetBom extracts the Input input data into an internal database of the parts, nets and , connections, and the properties attached to each item. From Using this database, it outputs an HTML Netlist, the Excel and web reports are created for immediate user viewing, along with a CSV file for easy post-processing and a Netlist netlist in CadStar RINF format. It also builds an HTML a web partlist (BOM) report, and a CSV version for easy import importing into MRP tools like Arena and AGILE.

CSV
The CSV report is a Comma Separated Value File that can be imported into Excel for easy viewing. It can also be imported as a Bill of Materials (BOM) into MRP tools like Agile and Arena.
Note that when working with the Chrome browser, due to some strange behavior, the CSV file will be downloaded with the .xlsx extension and cannot be opened directly in Excel without first changing the extension of the downloaded file to a .csv extension. The Firefox, IE, and Edge browsers do not have this problem.
