Pinnacle (part of the Expedition PCB Series) provides maximum auomation of placement, routing, manufacturing, and mechanical design tasks for time and performance critical design.

Expedition PCB delivers a new standard in Windows NT-based design tools for the layout, analysis, and manufacture of highly-complex PCBs. The revolutionary AutoActive design environment combines Automatic Routing and Interactive design into a single PCB editing environment.

Mentor Technologies is pleased to announce local support (Australia/New Zealand Region) for the Expedition Series of PCB design tools from Mentor Graphics Corporation.

Previously known as Veribest, the latest release of the Expedition Series delivers a new standard in PCB design tools on the Windows NT platform.

Simply the best routing!

The award winning routing capabilities of the Expedition Series go way beyond being a good autorouter. For example, the interactive router automatically re-routes neighbouring nets, vias and copper planes as you interactively route a net through a partially completed board.

The Expedition Series of PCB tools is available in different configurations - Ascent, Ascent LX and Pinnacle - to match your budget and technical requirements. See the table below for further technical capabilities.

The Expedition PCB Series - Ascent and Pinnacle - enable you to start with basic functionality and upgrade to higher levels of automation when the complexity of designs increases. At the heart of all Expedition PCB products is an AutoActiveŽ core that simplifies the design process while ensuring high quality, manufacturable results.
