ALTIUM DESIGNER

STRUCTURAL MODULES OF ALTIUM DESIGNER
development of electronic circuits;
design of printed circuit boards;
development of embedded software;
mixed analog-digital simulation;
signal integrity analysis;
technological preparation of manufacturing;
design of systems based on PLIC and their debugging with the use of the Altium NanoBoard breadboard.

THE ALTIUM DESIGNER WINDOW CONTAINS
THE FOLLOWING BASIC ELEMENTS:
1. System menu and toolbars, content and composition of which varies depending on the type of active document;
2. Auxiliary panels, which have multiple display modes;
3. Workspace;
4. Integrated support for Altium Designer, which provides access to the built-in help pages and resources located in the Internet (Altium Wiki).

POSSIBLE TYPES OF THE CONNECTED DOCUMENT:
1. Schematic – a schematic document;
2. PCB – a file of a printed circuit board;
3. Schematic Library – a library of schematic symbols;
4. PCB Library – a library of topological sites;
5. CAM Document — a document of a CAM-program;
6. Output Job File – a file of output data for processing;
7. Database Link File – a file pointer to the link to the database;
8. Text Document – a text document;
9. Other – other documents.

THE COMPONENT PROPERTIES WINDOW
Properties – the main component properties (Designator – the positional notation, Comment – the component name);
Library Link – the link to the library;
Graphical – the information about the component graphic display;
Parameters – the component attributes (hence the information about the component will be used to form the text part of design);
Models – the component models (sites);
Edit Pins – the table of component pins.

THE COMPILATION PROCESS CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING STAGES:
Setting project options;
Starting compilation;
Search and fix errors.
