Restart Testpoint Reference
The Restart Testpoint Reference
dialog allows you to restart the references for all testpoints (only available
in 2D View mode). It is displayed by
clicking split menu on the ribbon in eCADSTAR PCB Editor.

Description |
| Net
name
|
Testpoint reference names are generated for each net. |
| Number
|
Testpoint reference names are generated in order of the serial
numbers on the board. |
When Net name is selected

(Displayed if Number
generation mode is selected).
| Value |
Description |
| Entire board
|
The references on the whole board are reset in the specified
order. |
| Divided by bandwidth (Horizontal)
|
The board is divided horizontally (in the X-axis direction)
by the bandwidth, and the references are reset in the specified
order. |
| Divided by bandwidth (Vertical)
|
The board is divided vertically (in the Y-axis direction) by
the bandwidth, and the references are reset in the specified order. |
Bandwidth
(Displayed if either Divided
by Bandwidth sort modes are selected).
| Value | Description |
|---|
| Real number equal to or greater than 0 | When Sort mode is set to
Divided by bandwidth (Horizontal)
or Divided by bandwidth (Vertical),
the board is divided by the bandwidth, and the references are
reset for each divided area. |
Restart number
order
Allows you to restart the references for testpoints. The
values that are displayed are dependent on the value that you select in
the Sort mode box.
When Sort mode is set to Entire Board
| Value | Description |
|---|
| Vertical (Bottom-left) | The references are sorted from left to right by X coordinate.
The references at the same X coordinate are reset in bottom-to-top
order. |
| Vertical (Bottom-right) | The references are sorted from left to right by X coordinate.
The references at the same X coordinate are reset in top-to-bottom
order. |
| Vertical (Top-left) | The references are sorted from right to left by X coordinate.
The references at the same X coordinate are reset in bottom-to-top
order. |
| Vertical (Top-right) | The references are sorted from right to left by X coordinate.
The references at the same X coordinate are reset in top-to-bottom
order. |
| Horizontal (Bottom-left) | The references are sorted from bottom to top by Y coordinate.
The references at the same Y coordinate are reset in left-to-right
order. |
| Horizontal (Bottom-right) | The references are sorted from bottom to top by Y coordinate.
The references at the same Y coordinate are reset in right-to-left
order. |
| Horizontal (Top-left) | The references are sorted from top to bottom by Y coordinate.
The references at the same Y coordinate are reset in left-to-right
order. |
| Horizontal (Top-right) | The references are sorted from top to bottom by Y coordinate.
The references at the same Y coordinate are reset in right-to-left
order. |
When Sort mode is set to Divided by bandwidth (Horizontal)
| Value | Description |
|---|
| Horizontal (Bottom-left) | The references are sorted from bottom to top by Y coordinate
in a band. The references at the same Y coordinate are reset in
left-to-right order. For each band, the sort mode is switched
from bottom-to-top to top-to-bottom. The references are reset
in order from the left band. |
| Horizontal (Bottom-right) | The references are sorted from bottom to top by Y coordinate
in a band. The references at the same Y coordinate are reset in
right-to-left order. For each band, the sort mode is switched
from bottom-to-top to top-to-bottom. The references are reset
in order from the right band. |
| Horizontal (Top-left) | The references are sorted from top to bottom by Y coordinate
in a band. The references at the same Y coordinate are reset in
left-to-right order. For each band, the sort mode is switched
from top-to-bottom to bottom-to-top. The references are reset
in order from the left band. |
| Horizontal (Top-right) | The references are sorted from top to bottom by Y coordinate
in a band. The references at the same Y coordinate are reset in
right-to-left order. For each band, the sort mode is switched
from top-to-bottom to bottom-to-top. The references are reset
in order from the right band. |
When Sort mode is set to Divided by bandwidth (Vertical)
| Value | Description |
|---|
| Vertical (Bottom-left) | The references are sorted from left to right by X coordinate
in a band. The references at the same X coordinate are reset in
bottom-to-top order. For each band, the sort mode is switched
from left-to-right to right-to-left. The references are reset
in order from the bottom band. |
| Vertical (Bottom-right) | The references are sorted from left to right by X coordinate
in a band. The references at the same X coordinate are reset in
top-to-bottom order. For each band, the sort mode is switched
from left-to-right to right-to-left. The references are reset
in order from the top band. |
| Vertical (Top-left) | The references are sorted from right to left by X coordinate
in a band. The references at the same X coordinate are reset in
bottom-to-top order. For each band, the sort mode is switched
from right-to-left to left-to-right. The references are reset
in order from the bottom band. |
| Vertical (Top-right) | The references are sorted from right to left by X coordinate
in a band. The references at the same X coordinate are reset in
top-to-bottom order. For each band, the sort mode is switched
from right-to-left to left-to-right. The references are reset
in order from the top band. |
| Value | Description |
|---|
| OK | Restarts the references for all testpoints, and closes the
Restart Testpoint Reference dialog.
If changes are made to testpoints, the Reference
dialog is displayed. This dialog shows the changes that you have
made. |
| Cancel | Closes the Restart Testpoint Reference
dialog without restarting the references for testpoints. |
| Apply | Restarts the references for all testpoints without closing
the Restart Testpoint Reference
dialog. If changes are made to testpoints, the Reference
dialog is displayed. This dialog shows the changes that you have
made. |
