WayriCAD 4.0.1

Quick PI and Quick SI are easier to set up and inspect, while keeping the board
as the main workspace.

  • Quick PI: clearer feedback about missing source/load inputs, changed board
    files and unsupported mode combinations before running. Loss/probe tables can
    copy selected rows or the complete table with full values.
  • Quick SI: the header describes the route or study case actually on screen,
    including delay and eye-model availability. An unavailable eye keeps the route
    visible and explains what needs attention.
  • Quick EMerge (beta): full-area 2D/3D geometry views focus on the antenna
    region without graph framing. A results toggle keeps solved data available;
    charts and detailed controls open on demand. One Export
    menu saves 2D plots, current 3D views and HTML/PDF reports.
  • Radiation patterns: XZ/YZ/azimuth polar cuts and interactive 3D patterns
    share the same stored-sample normalization. Angular probes and report tables
    retain the original values. These are relative-field patterns, not antenna
    gain in dBi or efficiency.
  • Board-derived SI eyes: the selected route's extracted R/L/C sections now
    drive the linear PRBS7 eye and step response. Width changes retain their
    reflections; receiver capacitance and reviewed via equivalents are explicit
    inputs. Missing geometry and failed numerical convergence remain unavailable.
    Setup and model limits.
  • Fanout guide: pictures and explanations for all 16 styles plus via-in-pad,
    grouped by component family. Visual catalogue.
  • Updated quick-tool help, native screenshots and the independent packages.

The SI eye includes DC copper resistance and quasi-static L/C. Skin-effect and
dielectric loss, nonlinear IBIS and full LPDDR4 training/ODT/timing are not
included. Quick EMerge and Review retain their testing status. Existing source
checks, read-only analysis and large-viewport layouts remain in place.
