Pulsonix is an electronic design automation (EDA) software suite for schematic capture and PCB design. It is produced by WestDev, which is headquartered in Gloucestershire, England, with additional sales and distribution offices overseas. It was first released in 2001, and runs on Windows. ==Development== British software house WestDev created electronic design automation (EDA) software Pulsonix in 2001. Development team members had formerly worked at Racal–Redac on computer-aided design tools. A key aim of the developers was that the software be easy to use, without the need for extensive training that they believed existing EDA products at that time required.〔〔 The software formed part of the €14 million euros EU-funded project "". The three-year project (2008–11) sought to embed components within a circuit board's inner layers, to minimize use of design space.〔〔 Traditionally, wire leads of components were inserted through holes in a circuit board then soldered in place; more recently, components and chips are surface-mounted flush with the board and heat-set. Although the concept of embedding components directly ''within'' layers of a circuit board itself had existed for some time, technical difficulties meant it was experimental, unsuited for use in mass production. An increased demand for miniaturization, for products such as smartphones or medical devices that have to be swallowed to explore inside the body, led the EU to create the three-year project to develop embedding for "industrialization" (mass production use).〔 No EDA software was suitable for embedding. The taskforce working on HERMES approached the "most important EDA tool suppliers and convinced them to support (project )". Pulsonix was one of those contacted, the others being Cadence, Mentor Graphics, and Zuken.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pulsonix」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
