Click Calculate. Results of the calculation appear in the Calculation
Results area. They also appear in the Results tab of the Spreadsheet
View.
Note
If you chose User Defined Zo in the previous step, the Per Length Unit and the
Differential Impedance are the only values that appear in the Calculation Results area
of the PCB Differential Impedance Calculator dialog and the Results tab when you click
Calculate.
