Welcome to Protel 99 SE
Welcome to the world of Protel 99 SE – a complete 32bit electronic design system for Windows 95/98/NT. Protel 99 SE provides a completely integrated suite of design tools that lets you easily take your designs from concept through to final board layout. Protel 99 SE brings to the EDA desktop a new level ofintegration. Unlike other tool suites that provide separate applications for each phase of the design process, all Protel 99 SE tools run within a single application environment – the Design Explorer. Start Protel 99 SE and the Design Explorer opens, putting all your design tools at your fingertips. You benefit from a single, consistent, customizable user environment – no need to grapple with differentapplications for different design tasks. A single environment also means Protel 99 SE eliminates import/export hassles as you progress through the design process. For example, autorouting a board in Protel 99 SE is done directly in the PCB document window at the touch of a single button – no need to fiddle with separate router files. With Protel 99 SE you can compile a circuit for implementation in aprogrammable logic device directly from the schematic, producing an industry-standard JEDEC device programming file in a single action. Simulation is also integrated into Protel 99 SE. You can set up and run mixed analog/digital simulations directly from the schematic. Protel 99 SE comes with comprehensive libraries of simulation-ready components, with full support for the industry-standard...
