Using and Getting Part Numbers
When you place components on a schematic using Viewlogic, they come from
libraries such as
wf_flashmem
,
wf_dcdc
,
wf_bus_logic_misc
, and
wf_diode
. If
you create BOMs and generate PCNs, you may also specify parts in ASCII files,
and/or allow parts lists to be generated from schematics or other files.
These components always have Bay Networks part numbers and usually have
associated symbols.
This chapter explains how to find existing components and how to assign part
numbers to new ones. See Appendix E for a discussion of what constitutes a part
number. The examples in this chapter use the common part number format, as
described in that appendix.
Procedures explained in this chapter:
To find a part number and associated information:

To find part information on the web:

The general process for getting new part numbers is as follows:

Finding Parts
In ViewLogic
For the standard Viewlogic environment in Bay Networks, the Bay Networks part
number is found in the component symbol information display, where
P/D_NUM’s symbol value is the part number, e.g., 109963.
