What happened to DAI Signalscan?

[Petter Gustad]

Many years ago I used a waveform viewer from Design Acceleration Inc.
which was called signalscan. What happened with this product? I seem
to remember that they were acquired by Cadence, but what happened
after that?

Cadence calls it SimVision

Do they maintain it and sell it as a product, or is it bundled with
their simulators only? Searching on cadence.com only returns simvision
as popular searches, but noting else...

Signalscan was a wonderful product. Their user interface was by far
the best of
all the waveform tools out there. Debussy had the better tools, but
the UI on signalscan
couldn't be beat. Alas, cadence gobbled them up ripped the tool up
and, copied the
debussy style drag-n-drop like interface when creating "Simvision".
Sigh.

We kept our signalscan stand-alone tools operational for a few more
years after
the acquisition. Alas, it's gone now...
