Exporting component values in tune window

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to export the component values in the Tune Window to either an Excel sheet or a text file. I can't seem to find any such feature in the Eagle version I have now (Build 2003,03,12 with Genesys Basic)

Is this possible?

You can right-click on a schematic in GENESYS and create a netlist from the schematic. This can be copied to a text file.

Why do you want this information? There may be a different way to accomplish what you want to ultimately do.

We are working on a huge circuit design with 13 schematics (channels) who are identical.

I'm working on a Excel sheet we use during tuning of the circuits. Part of the tuning involves using GENESYS to simulate four resistors per schematic. The values for these 52 resistors (4*13) are then manually entered into our Excel sheet, and from there I make instructions for the people who solder them on.

The problem I'm trying to eliminate is the 'human factor'. When we enter the 52 resistor values into Excel we make mistakes. And each wrong resistors costs us about one extra day.

The most perfect solution would be to use a macro in Excel to extract the values from GENESYS, but I assume that this is not feasible. The next best solution is to export the values from GENESYS to a textfile, and have Excel import those.

I tried your suggestion with making netlists, and it could work, but I was hoping there would be an easier way.

A couple of things. First, the next version of GENESYS will introduce scripting using Visual Basic, but I suspect this particular item will not be available yet. The next possibility: Create a layout and export a bill of materials. I think this will have what you want and will import easily. If this doesn't work, send the file to support@eagleware.com and mention this thread, and we'll see if we can figure something easy out.
