Overview
This three day workshop prepares students to use Saber for both design and verification work with electronic, mechatronic, mixed-signal or hydraulic systems.

Course material includes a brief overview of common Saber use methods for both design and verification processes.

In this workshop, students will become proficient creating schematics in Saber Sketch, performing a variety of different simulations and analyses using the Saber simulator, and analyzing simulation results using CosmosScope.

• Use the Saber library effectively
• Create schematics in Saber Sketch
• Create hierarchical circuits and macromodels
• Perform nominal-case analyses in time and frequency domains
• Use Saber’s Robust Design and Verification tools
• Automate analysis using script files, Forms and the Experiment Editor
• Use CosmosScope for post-processing and analysis
• Understand methodologies for effective Saber usage

Audience Profile
Engineers who work in design or verification of electronic, mechatronic, mixed-signal or hydraulic systems
