Re: PCB CAD used and/or sold by HP ?

In '88 and for a few years later, for the 360 and greater (more powerful), HP sold CAE tools such as DCS (schematic layout), DVI (design verification using GenRad's HILO logic/fault simulator), and PCDS (PCB layout). I used the first two to create test pattern files for circuit board testing on our HP3065AT functional tester. See attached slide re DCS and PCDS interface.

In addition, a mechanical drawing package called ME10 was available, created at HP Germany, IIRC.

As (IBM) PC's were becoming more powerful and improving graphics capabilities, and third party tools were improving and targeting the PC market, HP eventually bowed out of the CAE market. ---------- Original Message ---------- From: "alan victor via groups.io" <avictor73@...> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment] PCB CAD used and/or sold by HP ?
