          4.5  The Libraries Option

          The Libraries menu, Figure 15, contains six commands that enable you to view and edit the following databases.  All of the databases are discussed in further detail in Chapter 8.

            • Materials
            • Environments
            • Test/Screen
            • PSD Curves
            • Failure Mechanisms
            • Interconnects
           Figure 15. The Libraries Option

          In addition, Libraries gives you access to the Report Manager. Most of the screens will look like the Materials and Environments screens shown in the Figures 16 and 17.

          4.5.1 The Materials Screen

          The Materials top-level menu contains six options:

            • Library enables you to activate individual databases.
            • Material enables you to view and edit data.
            • Query enables you to search the databases.
            • Sort enables you to determine the sort order
            • Fields enables you to choose material property fields.
            • Report enables you to generate reports based on the information in the materials database.

            • Edit enables you to edit the data in the file.
            • View enables you to view the curves.
          4.5.5 The Failure Mechanism Screen

          The Failure Mechanism (Figure 20) top-level menu contains three options:

          Figure 20. The Failure Mechanism Screen Library
            • Failure Mechanism enables you to activate a failure mechanism file.
            • Model Builder enables you to create or edit failure models.
            • Constant enables you to add and edit constants.
          4.5.6 The Interconnect Screen

          The Interconnect Design screen contains two options:
           

            • Design enables you to select and edit an interconnect design.
            • Library enables you to edit or create new interconnect designs.
          This is displayed and explained in Section 6.3.4.12 .
            

          4.6  The Options Window

          The Options menu contains three commands:

          Figure 21. Adding a program to a Menu
           
            • Directories enables you to set up your personal and global directory structure. (Figure 23)
            • Tools enables you to add or delete menu options. This is further discussed below. (Figure 22)
          Figure 22. The Tools window
          Figure 23. The Directories window

          Using Tools allows you to add commands into the menus of the System Executive. This increases the versatility of the software. One benefit is the ability to shell out to other programs without exiting CADMP-II. For example, you may add our Weibull analysis statistical program into a menu. To add Weibull, you must go to the Tools window (see Figure 22) and select the menu in which you want it to appear by pressing alt-m to flip through the System Executive menu options. Using the mouse, click on Insert. (Figure 21 shows the Edit "Modify Option" screen, which is similar to the Insert "Add New Option" screen.) You may enter any characters you like for the first two fields. Leave the third field empty, it is only usable by CADMP-II operations, not outside software. For the fourth field, the Command, enter WEIBULL.EXE . In order for this command to work the program you are adding must be in your DOS path. (Weibull already is.) You may not include any directory paths in the Command line.
