In addition to creating his iCD tool suite, Barry Olney is a contributor to PCB007. One of the reasons why we represent Barry’s tool is the fact that his tool was designed with his knowledge and experience in high-speed PCB design.

One other thought – it is true that you may have other tools these capabilities. We caution you:
- How robust is that tool? Who wrote the software? Did the software writer(s) understand what they wrote or were they simply copying equations from a book?
