WRAP(10.1) WRAP(10.1) NAME wrap - generate control information for wiring a circuit board SYNOPSIS wrap [ options ] [ file ] ...] fizz wrap [ option ] files DESCRIPTION Fizz wrap generates a wraplist for the given files. Standard input is used if no file arguments are given. To actually perform the wrap on the semi-automatic wiring machine, use wrap -s. The analogy of diff(1) for wraplists is rework(10). The options are -3 3 wraps per pin may be used. In this case, a minimal spanning tree of degree three is used for routing. -n pins not connected to any other are wrapped in the net nocon- nect. -o option turns off complaints about signals with only one end. -v produce various statistics. -c produce output in units of 0.01in. -x produce XY mask output. -b tune XY mask output for buried micro-via technology rather than (the default) four plane multiwire technology. -rroot put the artwork wiring in root.xym and the hole and net descrip- tions in root.hn. If -r is not used, fizz wrap sets root to the common prefix of files. If there is no common prefix, root is set to a. Ordinary wrap is a left over from the pre-fizz era. If the input file name ends in .wr it is a wiring object file produced by an earlier use fizz wrap. Otherwise the files describe the circuit in Circuit De- scription Language (cdl(10.5)). The form of output from wrap depends upon the type of wiring machine to be used and is indicated by flag as follows. -a Automatic wire-wrap: The output file is a series of 80 character lines, one per wire, which are formatted as required by a com- mercial wiring service that uses Gardner-Denver automatic wire- wrapping machines. -d Set preferred direction for wire routing. A two-character string follows the -d. The first character gives the first routing preference and the second character the second routing preference. The following code is used. 0 route from left to right (increasing X). 1 route from bottom to top (increasing Y). 2 route from right to left (decreasing X). 3 route from top to bottom (decreasing Y). -h Wire by hand. A wire list is produced on the standard output. The connections to be made for each signal are listed in two columns: one for first-level wraps and the other for second- level wraps. The sequence of output is such that the board can be wired in the sequence in which the connections are listed without fear of placing a second-level wrap before a first-level wrap on the same pin. The wire length is given for each connec- tion and it is based upon a Manhattan route but excludes any al- lowance for stripping. Capital letters between the `from' and `to' pins indicate the route to be followed. -l Listing. The listing produced when no specific wiring machine is specified contains for each signal a list of the pins in the sequence in which the appear in the wired net. The first two pins in the sequence will be connected by a level 1 wire and wiring levels alternate thereafter. If a machine is specified the listing is intended as a reference for the machine operator and describes the wires in the sequence in which they are to be installed. -q Quick-connect wiring machine. The output file is that required by the Quick-Connect wiring machine designed by C. A. Von Roes- gen. It can be transmitted directly to the wiring machine. -rd Set board rotation. The digit d specifies how the board must be rotated from the position implied by the Circuit Design Language definition of the board. The rotation is the number of right- angles by which it is to be rotated anti-clockwise, plus four if the board is first to be flipped over (X and Y coordinates in- terchanged). The initial rotation is given in the board defini- tion. -s On-line semi-automatic wire-wrap machine. The on-line Standard Logic wire-wrap machine must be in series with the terminal from which wrap -s is used. The operator will first be required to calibrate the machine by moving the pointer to specified pin po- sitions. Then the machine will point at successive pins which must be wired. The typed commands to which the program responds are as follows. udlr Move the pointer a small distance up, down, left or right. If preceded by a number scale the distance moved accordingly. sn Skip to wire number n. c Check the calibration by moving the pointer to the refer- ence pin. C Check positions of all four corner pins of the board. v Change to and from verbose mode. q Quit after moving the pointer back to the reference pin. ? Print details about the wire currently being installed. -v Set verbose mode. The interpretation of this option depends upon the type of output requested. It is required to obtain de- tails of all ground and voltage nets when -l is used. -y Off-line semi-automatic wiring machine. The output file con- tains the control characters necessary for driving a Gardner- Denver 14YN semi-automatic wire-wrap machine equipped with auto- matic wire stripper. The data should be fed directly to a pa- per-tape punch.
