    Open Live Script

    Use the componentList function to get a list of compoents in a pcb

    Read-in a pcb file

    Use the pcbFileRead object to read in a file. Accepted file formats are:

    • ODB++

    • Allegro

    • Native

    Here we are using a native format file

    pfile = pcbFileRead('native_ExampleBoard_Allegro')
    pfile = 
  pcbFileRead with properties:

           FileName: 'native_ExampleBoard_Allegro'
          NumLayers: 5
         MetalLayer: [1 3 5]
    DielectricLayer: [2 4]
        LayerHeight: [0.0184 0.0104 0.0092 0.0012 0]
         NumCadnets: 7
       NumPadStacks: 6
      NumComponents: 8
           NumParts: 5

    Get the component list

    Use the componentList function

    complist = componentList(pfile)
    complist=8×3 table
    ComponentIdx    ComponentName    NumPins
    ____________    _____________    _______

         1            {'OUT_V'}         1
