Core Capabilities
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Automated Coupon Generation | Replaces manual or scripted coupon creation with a simple four-stage process: import/create stackup, select coupon/test probe, preview/edits, export Gerber/drill files |
| Stackup Import | Import stackup data from Speedstack PCB, Speedstack Si, or from Si8000m/Si9000e field solver structures |
| Coupon Styles | Supports impedance coupons (CGen PCB) and insertion loss coupons for SET2DIL, SPP, and Delta-L 4.0 (CGen Si) |
| Real-Time Editing | Interactive preview and editing of coupon properties before Gerber export |
| Export Formats | Generates Gerber RS-274X and NC drill files |
| CITS Probe Support | Pre-defined probe pitch options for Polar CITS impedance measurement systems |
Editions
-
CGen PCB: Impedance coupon generation for controlled impedance verification
-
CGen Si: Includes all CGen PCB features plus insertion loss coupon capability (Delta-L, SET2DIL, SPP)
Workflow Integration
CGen integrates directly with:
-
Speedstack Si: For stackup design and documentation
-
Si9000e: For insertion loss field solver calculations
-
CITS Test Systems: For probe compatibility and quality verification
This creates a seamless process from stackup design to coupon generation, reducing manual effort and minimizing the risk of human error .
