Feature workflows

Five ways Quick-S shortens SI review work.

Quick-S is built for Windows 10/11 x64 desktop workflows. The first public package focuses on fast measured-data review, repeatable report generation, SNP operations, fixture de-embedding, DC IR layout estimates, COM/IBIS-AMI debug, and flexible customer-ready reports.

01 2-Step Results Import files, then plot IL, RL, TDR, TDT, impedance, and RLGC. 02 5-Step Reports Reuse files, configs, limit lines, and report layouts across high-port workflows. 03 SNP Workspace Reorder ports, extract channels, cascade networks, run fixture de-embedded workflows, and compare measured data. 04 Engineering Pre-Check Use S4P Adjust, simplified eye/channel checks, IEEE COM 4.15 runs, limited IBIS/AMI debug, IBIS-AMI templates, DC IR Drop, and transmission-line S4P generation. 05 Custom Reports Build flexible pages with 1 to 4 plots and the views reviewers need.

01 / Fast review

2-Step Results: import, then plot.

Quick-S keeps quick inspection simple. Import Touchstone files and plot immediately to review measured data quality without first building a report setup.

  • Compare insertion loss and return loss across multiple measured sources.
  • Switch between frequency-domain and time-domain views for IL, RL, TDR, TDT, and impedance.
  • Use RLGC views to understand loss and transmission-line behavior earlier in review.

02 / Repeatable reporting

5-Step Report Generation for repeated work.

For recurring reviews, Quick-S reduces the tedious setup work: pin definitions, line style, plot layout, and report settings can be reused instead of rebuilt every time.

  • Workflow: import files, import configs, import limit lines, import report configs, then generate.
  • Designed for all supported SNP review patterns, from small files to dense high-port measurements.
  • Useful when only the measured SNP files change, but the reporting structure stays the same.

03 / SNP workspace

One simple UI for common SNP operations.

Quick-S gathers the work normally scattered across small utilities into one desktop surface for Touchstone analysis and cleanup.

  • Reorder ports for standard differential or custom mappings.
  • Extract useful channel subsets from larger SNP files.
  • Cascade channel blocks, run fixture de-embedded workflows, and compare the resulting response in the same workspace.

04 / Engineering pre-check

Engineering pre-check tools for what-if and debug.

Quick-S includes S4P Adjust, simplified eye/channel checks, IEEE COM 4.15 helpers, DC IR layout estimates, Reference S4P generation, and IBIS-AMI template tools that help engineers reason about S-parameter and layout data during early debug.

  • Use S4P Adjust for stackup, geometry, length, material, conductivity, and copper roughness trend comparison on base S4P data.
  • Generate simplified NRZ/PAM4 eye diagrams with reference TX/RX behavior, simplified IBIS extraction, limited IBIS-AMI/DLL debug, AMI parameter sweep logs, and IEEE COM 4.15 batch runs.
  • Use DC IR Drop with ODB++ layout import for first-pass rail DCR and voltage-drop estimates alongside de-embedding previews, Reference S4P generation, and IBIS-AMI Template packages.

05 / Report layout

Highly customizable SI reports.

Quick-S reports can be shaped around the review task instead of forcing every result into one fixed layout.

  • Control report pages and place 1 to 4 plots on each data page.
  • Include IL, RL, VSWR, Smith chart, phase, group delay, TDR, TDT, RLGC, and reference eye diagram results.
  • Add limit-line evidence and consistent styling for customer or team review packages.
