Agilent Ships Genesys EDA Software Release

Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced shipment of its Genesys 2008.07 release. The Genesys 2008.07 exports RF board mask and artwork files to board fabricators, rapid-prototyping machines, and CAD/CAM software for physical product design. Graphical artwork previewer and pre-production editor allow designers to inspect masks for layer alignment issues and short/open circuits and make direct real-time adjustments. In addition to direct board fabrication, artwork tools let users import drawings for electromagnetic verification using Momentum GX planar-3D EM simulator.



The Genesys 2008.07 configurations for high-yield physical board design start at approximately $4,000, which includes the first 12 months support and all the new features listed in this press release. The "Genesys Nonlinear Pro GX" is a configuration, which adds nonlinear simulation and Momentum GX EM simulation to Genesys Core, for approximately $16,000 total system cost, and also includes the first 12 months of support.
