->Schematic Editor : "tned"
and we use a Schematic Editor to make the corresponding schematic of existing Symbol (maximum of 32 hierarchical level)
To call the symbol editor TSED type :
" tsed component_name [ext_do_file [par1 [par2...]] "
component_name : name of your component ( directory )
ext_do_file : file to automatically executed commands ( option ) .
par1 , par2 : external variable used for commands ( option ) .
The symbol editor TSED can make symbol that are "callable"
afterwards into :
* an other symbol with the symbol editor TSED
* a sheet with the sheet editor TNED
Symbol defines :
* the representation of the component ( not their functions )
* the PINS ( position,name,number,...) to define interconnexions
* the parameters ( also called PROPERTIES - name-values-owners
-switches ) and passing way from symbol to sheet .
* SYMBOL is made of :
** 1 to N COMPONENTS
( limited by Computer configuration >> 10 )
At start_up 1 components exists and it is the
"EDIT_COMPONENT" ( component that you can edit :
the target component for commands as :
COPY , INStantiate SYMbol , MOVE , ADD PROperty ,
ADD PIN , CHAnge FRAme DIMension ... )
You can create some new components with command :
CREate COMponent ( becomes the EDIT_COMPONENT )
you can define the "EDIT_COMPONENT" with command
EDIt COMponent ( the one selected )
* COMPONENTS is made of
** 1 component BODY : that includes graphical + properties
data for the component itself .
** 1 to N component PINS : that includes graphical +
properties data for the component PINS .
** 0 to 1 component FRAME : that includes graphical + properties
data for the component itself .
** 0 to N EXTERNAL SYMBOLS
( limited by Computer configuration >> 10 )
that have been loaded with commands :
ACTivate SYMbol , INStantiate SYMbol
* 1 EXTERNAL SYMBOL is made of :
** 1 component BODY : that includes graphical + properties
data for the external symbol itself .
** 1 to N component PINS : that includes graphical +
properties data for the external symbols PINS .
PRINCIPAL FUNCTION of the SYMBOL EDITOR ( TSED ) :
* The target component for some command is ONLY the "EDIT_COMPONENT"
* You can EDIT graphics and properties on COMPONENTS , FRAMES ,
EXTERNAL SYMBOLS ( depending of their switches ) ,
with command as ADD PROperty , CHAnge PROperty VALue ,
SELect PROperty , ... etc :
** for component BODY you can :
*** edit the body GRAPHICS with command : LINe STArt ,
LINe CONtinue , ARC CONtinue , COPY , MOVE ,
DELete , SELect AREa ... etc
( to edit part of graphics use SMAsh ON )
*** edit the body PROPERTIES with command : ADD PROperty ,
CHAnge PROperty VALue , SELect PROperty , ... etc :
** for component PINS you can :
*** edit the pins GRAPHICS with command : ADD PIN ,
DELete , SELect AREa ... etc
( if you delete the graphics you delete also all
the pin with their properties )
*** edit the pins PROPERTIES with command : ADD PROperty ,
CHAnge PROperty VALue , SELect PROperty , ... etc :
** for component FRAME you can :
*** edit the frame GRAPHICS with command : DELete ,
CHAnge frame DIMension , SELect AREa ... etc
( if you delete the graphics you delete also all
the frame with their properties )
*** edit the frame PROPERTIES with command : ADD PROperty ,
CHAnge PROperty VALue , SELect PROperty , ... etc :
** for body of EXTERNAL SYMBOL you can :
*** edit the body GRAPHICS with command : DELETE ,
INSTantiate SYMbol ... etc
( if you delete the graphics you delete also all
the external symbol with their pins , properties )
*** edit the body PROPERTIES with command : ADD PROperty ,
CHAnge PROperty VALue , SELect PROperty , ... etc
( for property that are NEW or NOFIXED )
** for PINS of EXTERNAL SYMBOL you can :
*** edit the pins GRAPHICS with command : delete ,
DELete , SELect AREa ... etc
( if you delete the graphics you delete also all
the pin with their properties and all the symbol )
*** edit the pins PROPERTIES with command : ADD PROperty ,
CHAnge PROperty VALue , SELect PROperty , ... etc :
( for property that are NEW or NOFIXED )
** You can add to the "EDIT_COMPONENT" some EXTERNAL SYMBOL
( entirely copied as SYMBOL into the EDIT_COMPONENT )
with : ACTivate SYMbol , INStantiate SYMbol
** You can update an old external symbol with :
UPDate SYMbol
** You can View and Copy part of an external symbol with :
VIEW SYMbol , COPY Context ... etc to the
EDIT_COMPONENT ( body and pins ) .
** You can UNDO 1 to N step of previous command and AFTER
You can REDO 1 to N step of previous command .
( Starting until the begining of the session )
* You can generate a file SCRIPT to remake the symbol
( for transfert , record , ... )
** compatible to TSED from ATELECAD
** compatible to DA_IC from MENTOR
( MENTOR is a trade mark of MENTOR graphics corp )
* You can generate a ASCII file DATA to get Symbol Data .
( for netlist , customised tools , ... )
* you can GROW ( UP / DOWN ) a symbol using 1 command .

** You can REDO the previous session using :
"tsed dir_name dir_name/cur_session "
( the file "dir_name/cur_session " is automatically during
the sessions with all commands done so can restart it
as an external " DO_FILE " )
To call the network editor TNED type :
" tned component_name [ext_do_file [par1 [par2...]] "
component_name : name of your component ( directory )
ext_do_file : file to automatically executed commands ( option )
par1 , par2 : external variable used for commands ( option ) .
MANAGING SHEETS :
The Turbo Network editor TNED can make HIERARCHICAL electronic schemas
and can use to edit it :
* symbols created with the symbol editor TSED
* another sheet created with the sheet editor TNED
Sheet defines :
* the function of the corresponding symbol ( if any , and not
their representation ) : using :
** the INSTANCES of the used SYMBOL ( position,name,number,...) .
** the INTERCONNEXIONS between INSTANCE PINS .
* the parameters ( also called PROPERTIES - name-values-owners
-switches ) and passing way from symbol to sheet .
* INSTANCE is made of :
** 1 instance BODY : that includes graphical + properties
data for the instance itself .
** 1 to N instance PINS : that includes graphical +
properties data for the instance PINS .
** and is LINKED to 1 EXTERNAL SYMBOL
that have been loaded with commands :
ACTivate SYMbol , INStantiate SYMbol
* NET is made of :
** Properties ;
** 1 to N VERTEX that include graphics .
( 1 vertex for 1 instance pin and 1 vertex for each
corner of net ... )
* 1 EXTERNAL SYMBOL is made of :
** 1 component BODY : that includes graphical + properties
data for the external symbol itself .
** 1 to N component PINS : that includes graphical +
properties data for the external symbols PINS .
PRINCIPAL FUNCTION of the NETWORK EDITOR ( TNED ) :
** You can LOAD SYMBOLS with commands :
ACTivate SYMbol ... , INStantiate SYMbol ... .
** You can update an INSTANCE wth the new symbol version with :
UPDate SYMbol
** You can View and Copy part of another SHEET with :
VIEW SHEEt ... + COPY Context ... etc to the
EDIT SHEET .
** You can UNDO 1 to N step of previous command and AFTER
You can REDO 1 to N step of previous command .
( Starting until the begining of the session )
** You can create BUS ( for NETS ) by using :
*** special PIN NAME : ex : "IN(0:8) ;
*** special symbols : "RIP"
* You can EDIT graphics and properties on INSTANCES , FRAMES ,
( depending of their switches ) ,
with command as ADD PROperty , CHAnge PROperty VALue ,
SELect PROperty , ... etc :
** for instance BODY you can :
*** DELete , SELect AREa , COPY , MOVE , ... etc
( you can't edit part of graphics )
*** edit the body PROPERTIES with command : ADD PROperty ,
CHAnge PROperty VALue , SELect PROperty , ... etc
( depending of their switches ) .
** for instance PINS you can :
*** you can't edit the pins GRAPHICS separately from instance
, only : SELect AREa ... etc
( if you delete the graphics you delete also ALL
the instance with their properties )
*** edit the pins PROPERTIES with command : ADD PROperty ,
CHAnge PROperty VALue , SELect PROperty , ... etc .
( depending of their switches ) .
** for FRAME you can :
*** edit the frame GRAPHICS with command : DELete ,
CHAnge frame DIMension , SELect AREa ... etc
( if you delete the graphics you delete also all
the frame with their properties )
*** edit the frame PROPERTIES with command : ADD PROperty ,
CHAnge PROperty VALue , SELect PROperty , ... etc :
* You can generate a file SCRIPT to remake the sheet
( for transfert , record , ... )
** compatible to TNED from ATELECAD
** compatible to NETED from MENTOR
( MENTOR is a trade mark of MENTOR graphics corp )
* You can generate a ASCII file DATA to get sheet data .
