Does Pulsonix support length matching within differential pair like on this picture?

It's something like serpentine function but within a diffpair (i.e. only one track is serpentined).

I assume it's possible if differential pairing is removed from a segment of the diffpair and then manually editing that segment but it would be nice to be able to do it without removing deferential pairing.

When a serpentine is required to meet a length difference rule it has to go in a track segment as it cant go in the diff segments otherwise they would not be diff paired traces.

For note: Serpentine is going interactive in Version 9.

Differential pair skew is part of V9, at present in V8.5, if you wish to increase the length of one side of a differential pair, you would indeed need to 'Remove differential pair' and add the length to the one side.

In V9 you will be able to maintain a differential pair and add length to one side interactively.

Thanks,

Ty

Thanks, Steve, it's quite an easy workaround.

It seems v9 will have a lot of improvements as far as constraint management and high-speed design is concerned.

Indeed - not long now though!
