Using this dialog

This dialog presents you with non-editable information about the selected Differential Pair. To edit the Differential Pair Rules you should use the Differential Pair dialog within the Technology.

Differential Pair Name displays the name of the Differential Pair. A drop down list will be available where more than one Differential Pair exists, allowing you to browse the properties on more than one Differential Pairs.

Net shows the Nets on which the Differential Pair.

Start Pin shows the start pin for the Differential Pairs, as defined in the Technology.

End Pin shows the end pin for the Differential Pairs, as defined in the Technology.

Track Length shows the reported track length, this will include any adjustments added to the Signal Path’s length from Rules such as the Layer Change Length and Track Length Factor rules.

Actual Length show the actual length of the track without any adjustments to it from the rules stated above in Track Length.

Via Count shows the total count of vias in the Signal Path.

Rules

Minimum % Paired shows the minimum percentage paired as defined in the Differential Pair Skew Rules

Maximum Length Difference shows the maximum length difference as defined in the Differential Pair Skew Rules

Minimum Gap Shows the minimum gap rule as defined in the Differential Pair Gap Rules, if left as , the rule shall use the Rules defined for that Net in the Spacing Rules dialog.

Top Layer Minimum Gap Shows the minimum gap rule for the Top Layer if defined in the Differential Pair Gap Rules, if left as the rule will remain hidden in the Properties dialog and the rule shall use the Rule defined for that Net in the Spacing Rules dialog.

Bottom Layer Minimum Gap Shows the minimum gap rule for the Bottom Layer if defined in the Differential Pair Gap Rules, if left as the rule will remain hidden in the Properties dialog and the rule shall use the Rule for that Net defined in the Spacing Rules dialog.
