This experiment is to approach the student by doing the practical base on the theory that has been learned before. By adapting the theory the student should be able to do the experiment and implementation such as on safety, cleanliness, tidiness and etc. About Properties Every element in your design has a set of properties you can modify to suit your needs. These properties are described throughout this document, and differ depending on what kind of element is selected (for example, the properties for a trace are different from those for a part). About Board Properties Many characteristics of your PCB design are controlled through the boards properties including number of layers, design rules and grid settings. These setting are saved with the design and will be in effect if the design is later reopened. Board properties let you control: INSTRUCTION : The units of measurement used in your design and settings for the Ultiboard 2001 grids. The general board settings, which include the lamination method used to determine how layers are bonded together and the default board clearance. This lamination setting are used by the design rule checking engine for determining the acceptable combinations of layers when placing vias, including blind and buried vias or microvias. The layers available on the board Design rules for the board.

Board Settings. Use the Board Settings tab of the PCB Properties screen to determine the layer pairs that are acceptable for blind or buried vias. This is used when you try to place a via. Your choices of lamination affect the cost of the board, and should be confirmed with the board manufacture. Board Setting tab also allows you to set default for the board the distance from the edge of the board that is to be kept of any other elements. Trying to run a trace through a clearance, or trying to place part so that a pad is put within a clearance, for example, results in a design rule error.

To change the color of the elements in a layer.

a. Click the color box beside the layer name and from the screen that appears, chose a color.

3. Working with the Board Outline If you have created a new design, the board outline layer will be empty. You can create a board outline by drawing tools.
a. From tools menu choose Board Wizard b. Board Wizard.Board screen appear : Technology

i. Click on the Change the Layer Technology. ii. Select for Single Sided under the Technology. iii. Click Next c. Board Wizard..Shape of Board screen appear : i. Set the Units to mils by drop-down list. ii. Let reference Point X = 00.00 and Y = 00.00. iii. Set the Board Shape and Size as : Rectangular Width : 4000.0000 Height : 2000.0000 iv. Click Finish d. The rectangular shape of yellow Board outline appears in the drawing editor. The shape of Board units can be change by drop-down list as inch, cm, mm, um etc. as you

need. e. If you choose Multi-layers constructed with double sided (layer pairs), define the lamination setting for the board: i. Set the number of layer pairs you intend to use by entering the value or using the spin selector in the Layer Pairs field. ii. Select the blind, buried or microvias checkboxes to use these in your design. iii. Select the layer combinations you want to allow in your design. iv. Set the size of the Board shape. v. Click Finish.

4. Setting up the Board Design You can display an elements Properties by doing one of the following :

Right click on the PCB editor. Choose Properties from the context menu. The PCB Properties dialog box appear

Figure 4 a. Working with Attributes. i. All attributes can be change or added. On the Attributes tab, you can change an attributes : Tag (the name for the attribute) Value (the value of the attribute) Visibility (invisible, value shows, value and tag show). You also can add or modify an attribute.

b. Grids and Units i. To set the units of measurement to be used by default in Ultiboard 10.0.1, choose from the Design Units list. ii. To change the style of the visible grid, choose from the Visible Grid Style list. iii. To change the increments of any of the grids, enter the value in the field or choose from the appropriate list. iv. To show or hide the visual grid, use View/Grid. c. Board Settings i. Set the number of layer pairs you intend to use by entering the value or using the spin selector in the Layer Pairs field. ii. Set the number of single layer build-ups for both the top and bottom. iii. Select the blind, buried, or microvias checkboxes to use these in your design. d. General Layers Set-up i. To control the numbers of layers in the board, you can do following: Add layers to the board by selecting the checkbox beside the layer name. Remove layers from the board by clearing the checkbox beside the layer name. e. Using and configuring the Design Rule Check i. Use the Design Rules tab of the PCB Properties screen to set : The design specific annular ring for through hole device (e.g. DIP) The design specific setting for vias. The design specific setting for microvias. Surface mount pad oversize.

Wrap up your results from observations, data, and calculations and tie them to the objectives of the lab. Did it work? Why? What do your results mean? Did you prove your hypothesis or something different? Back up your explanations with scientific theories or information you have learned in class or found by research. Cite any sources of information that you use for research. If the lab didnt work for some reason, explain what went wrong. (Not more than 200 words)
