Purpose

Testpoints should be kept sufficiently apart in order to allow simultaneous probing without collision.

Function

Reports distances between testpoints that are less than pp_t_spacing for these cases:

  • None of the testpoints is a toeprint of a component (tp2tp)

  • One of the testpoints is a toeprint of a component (tp2tp;<PkgType>)

  • Both testpoints are toeprints of components (tp2tp;<PkgTypeA>_<PkgTypeB>)

The distance is measured from pad center to pad center.

ERF Variables

v_testpoint_attr

v_tp2tp_by_side = no

Constraint

Testpoint to Testpoint

Change in Behavior

When one or two of the testpoints are also toeprints of a component, the result is classified by their comp_type. Therefore, this category can be classified by two, one or no comp_type, depending upon where they are situated.
