The NetBom EndPoint Compare Operation Enables the user to cross-check connections between 2 Endpoints in 2 different NetLists.

The common usage of this is to verify connections made between connectors in 2 designs

Use Case

Lets say you have a MotherBoard design with a Connector Endpoint named J1.

A Networking Card connects its P3 Connector EndPoint into the motherBoard J1 connector.

You set the Netlist1 Entry to point to the Orcad .DSN file or Netlist for The motherboard

Set the Netlist2 Entry to point to the Orcad .DSN file or Netlist for the Networking Card

You use the EndPoint Compare GUI to setup the NETBOM_ENDPOINT_COMPARE Entry to ‘J1:P3’

The EP_COMPARE_CONFIG can also provide a Pin Connection Map if the cards connect through a cable that is not mapped 1:1.

Next You run the EndPoint Compare Operation

NetBom will build a spreadsheet and an interactive HTML webpage report comparing the NetNames that are connected to the same pin (or remapped_pin) of each Endpoint

It will provide a match score using a proprietary Fuzzy Matching algorithm for the netNames between the 2 designs
