E3.Series 2010 New Features

– Changes to signals don‘t affect complete net.
– Specifying the objects to be deleted when “purging”.
General Functional Enhancements
– Graphic lines can be cut using the TRIM command.
General Functional Enhancements
– Grouping sheets
o Several sheets can be combined as group and edited collectively.
– Updating groups
o Groups imported as subcircuits can be updated.
• Additional Tools
– Revision Management – SABER simulation
Overview Version 2010
• Beta Version provided for customers taking part in the test phase
o Please contact your local support office
– Results of component/symbol search in the database are immediately displayed, folders are automatically opened.
General Functional Enhancements
– Checking components/symbols in the project that don‘t exist in the defined database.
Variants and Options
– Schematic elements of various variants can be displayed one upon the other.
General Functional Enhancements
– Replicable component / symbol database (ORCALE and Microsoft SQL Server)
o Possibility to locally edit the database on servers, and using replications the various databases can automatically be aligned. o This is basically a database system functionality but also requires corresponding support by E³.series (e.g. by unique key assignment).
Overview Version 2010
• Many new functions and enhancements; some are described in detail.
General Functional Enhancements
– Foreground / Background control
General Functional Enhancements
– Inserting objects from the tree directly into another project
o Copy&Paste and Cut&Paste from the E³.series tree directly into anotherng the current DXF/DWG versions.
General Functional Enhancements
– Symbols used as components‘ preview symbols can directly be defined with the component in the database.
Overview Version 2010
• Customer support through ZUKEN E3
– Detailed help file (Release Notes) comprehensively describing the new functionality. – 2 day update training especially regarding the new functionality; starting in April 2010.
– Dimensions along outlines
o Dimension lines automatically run along the outlines of graphis or connect lines (especially for formboard).
General Functional Enhancements
o Besides graphics now also available for all kinds of objects that can overlap. o Reasonable use for e.g.: o Symbols (attribute templates) and connections Had to be filled by “Empty text – opaque” so far since connections were displayed “over” the symbols. o Text and graphics Texts used to be displayed on the top-most level so far and couldn‘t be put in the background. o Doesn‘t work with panel layout since placement defines the display order there (plugged devices)

Transaction Replication
This replication is a technology to copy and distribute data from one database to another and corresponding synchronizing between the databases to guarantee data consistency. Replication distributes data to several locations and remote users through local networks and WANs (Wide Area Network) or through the internet.

• Available as download and on DVD • Enhancements
– New functionality in all areas of E³.series – Quality through bug fixing – Optimized integration possibilites through enhanced API
General Functional Enhancements
o The group is dynamically structured, thus changes to the assignment and connectors can be done any time. o No database enhancements with symbols and components required. o Easy handling through Drag&Drop or the “Split/Merge” command o With plugged connectors the functionality is restricted.
General Functional Enhancements
– Different display for “twisted pairs”.
o Corresponding connections are identified by an arrow.
– Automatically hiding windows.
General Functional Enhancements
– Multimaster Replication
Oracle meanwhile supports several master tables as function for enhanced replication. Modifications to one of the master tables from any location are transferred to the other master tables, either synchronously or asynchronously. This technology enables immediate table updates which avoids snapshot updates over the network.
