NOTE: The Reference designator column and one other data type must be identified

to proceed with step 5. A data type can only be assigned to one column,

except Ignore column and User defined.

Each data type updates the corresponding field of the MDF-file.

5. Step 5 of the BFW (see SCREEN 29 on page 38)

The format of the reference designators in the BOM-file is specified in this

step.

■ Designator format combobox: Select Explicit, Abbreviated, or Terse to

describe how the reference designators are defined. The area on the right

side of the screen displays an example of the selected format with the

defined range and separator characters, as well as an explicit list of the

reference designators used in the example.

■ Range chars textfield: Enter the character used in the BOM file that

signifies a range of reference designators. A dash (-) is the default

character.

■ Separator chars textfield: Enter the character used in the BOM-file that

separates the reference designators. A comma (,) is the default character.

■ Designators span multiple lines check box: Select this check box if the

reference designators occupy more than one line. If each line ends up with

a separator, the End-of-line is a separator check box must also be selected.

■ Remove leading zeros check box: Check this box, if leading zeros in

reference designators must be ignored. For example, reference designator

C1 would equal C01, U6 would equal U06, and so on. If you choose not to

remove leading zeros, PPS-Pro will consider C1 to be different from C01.

2.12.2 Edit an existing BOM format

To start editing an existing format just press the Edit icon (see SCREEN 23 on

page 32) of the ‘BOM-Formats Explorer’.

After pressing this icon a window appears with five tabs (see SCREEN 30 on

page 39). Each tab is analogous to a BFW step (see 2.12.1 on page 32).
