The results are returned to the board editor via SES session files as well as RTE files. The program is compatible with many design systems for printed circuit boards, thanks to the use of industrial-standard DSN design file format for project description and Do-files to specify routing strategies. Electromagnetic compatibility can be tested in Specctra through the “SPECCTRAQuest SI Expert” module. On each subsequent pass, the auto-router tries to reduce the number of conflicts by breaking and re-building connections (the ripup-and-retry router method) and pushing the conductors by pushing the neighboring ones (the push-and-shove router method). On the first pass, the connection of all conductors is performed, regardless of the presence of conflicts, which consist in crossing the conductors on one layer and breaking the gaps. additional processing of autoroute results.The routing is carried out in three stages: Specctra uses adaptive algorithms implemented in multiple trace runs. This increases the efficiency of routing printed circuit boards with a high density of components, provides automatic routing of the same chain of tracks of different widths and more. Specctra routes boards by presenting graphical data using a "shape-based" technology which represents graphical objects not as a set of points-coordinates, but more compact. The latest version is 17.2 (October 2016). Since its integration into Cadence's Allegro PCB Editor, the name of the router is Allegro PCB Router. The company and product were taken over by Cadence Design Systems in May 1997. Cooper and David Chyan of Cooper & Chyan Technology, Inc. Specctra is a commercial PCB auto-router originally developed by John F.
