== Beamer ==
The following is a short walkthrough of the most frequently used features of Beamer. For a more in depth look at Beamer please refer to GenISys own [https://www.genisys-gmbh.com/in-action.html learning material found here.]
The BEAMER software is used to convert files from GDSII format to v30-format. The BEAMER software is manufactured by GenISys (www.genisys-gmbh.de) and the software is installed on the ebprep computer.
The main functions of BEAMER are:
<pre>
Module      Function
Import      Imports a GDS, CIF or v30-file
Export      Exports to GDS, CIF or v30-format
Grid     Modifies the base unit of the imported file
Fracture    Optimizes the fracturing of the layout
Heal     Removes overlaps in the layout and joins abutting polygons
Bias     Adds or subtracts geometrical bias to the pattern
Merge     Merges two layouts
Minus     Subtracts two layouts
PEC     Proximity Error Correction
Split     Splits the output in two
</pre>

To use the modules, they are dragged to the process flow area.
The inputs and outputs of each module are illustrated by white tags. Two modules are coupled to each other by positioning the input of e.g. the Export module on top of the output of the Import module. The input/output tags turns black when they are connected.
By clicking on active modules, the layout of the file becomes visible in the layout view area.
