Example CadStar (RINF) File
Below is a sample CadStar RINF file created by NetBom from an AllegroHDL netlist. The RINF has been edited to compress most of the information in order to provide a summary of the contents and structure of a typical RINF file format.

- The RINF Netlist starts with
- .HEA header,
- .TIM timestamp
- .APP comment which shows this was generated by a CadEnhance Tool
- .UNI (units)
- TYP (type)
- EACH NET STARTS with an .ADD_TER directive with the first pin in the net, and the netName
- Following that is the .TER directive and a list of all the other pins on the net
- THE #(PNAME:XXX) is a cadEnhance add-on comment which shows the pinName of the actual pin. This is helpful when checking the netlist for proper connectivity. This is not standard format, and will only be included if the ADD_PIN_NAME_IN_RINF ctlVariable is set from the checkbutton on the main menu.
- The .End directve ends the netlist
