In this episode of the OnTrack Podcast we echo the style of “Ask me Anything” and feature Ben Jordan and Judy Warner who will mine the AltiumLive forum for questions. Ben will answer your questions about Engineering and PCB Design and Judy will respond to topics related to manufacturing and supply chain. Join us today as we tackle the question: If we have only one or two EEs, do we really need data management? For future episodes, you can...

If you have long-lead time test facilities and equipment involved, you’re pretty much guaranteed to throw the entire development project off schedule. All that is why many engineering teams are increasingly turning to verification and analysis. If you can virtually check rules and simulate...

Most of these “aha” moments happen when we are passing around a bunch of different samples, and a particular shape or level of flexibility sparks a new idea.  One of the favorite parts of my job is the magical moment when I am working with a designer or group of engineers trying to...
