Design Tools

TimingTool is designed to give electronics engineers an easy to use graphical interface for entering and editing timing diagrams commonly seen in digital electronic design. TimingTool is intuitive in use and always presents the most useful properties of selected objects for easy access...

Dia is a gtk+ based diagram creation program released under the GPL. It can be used to draw many different kinds of diagrams. It currently has special objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and simple circuits. It is also possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of SVG to draw the shape. [from DIA Home Page] And it continues evolving...

Bartels AutoEngineer® (BAE) is a famous EDA/CAE/CAD/CAM software system for schematic capture, printed ciruit board design and IC/ASIC design. Bartels AutoEngineer® software runs under Microsoft Windows, Linux and various X11/Unix systems...

The gEDA project has produced and continues working on a full GPL`d suite of Electronic Design Automation tools. These tools are used for electrical circuit design, schematic capture, simulation, prototyping, and production. Currently, the gEDA project offers a mature suite of free software applications for electronics design, including schematic capture, attribute management, bill of materials (BOM) generation, netlisting into over 20 netlist formats, analog and digital simulation, and printed circuit board (PCB) layout...

Electric is a sophisticated electrical CAD system that can handle many forms of circuit design, including: * Custom IC layout (ASICs) * Schematic drawing * Hardware description language specifications..

With AudioWave 2.0 your soundcard becomes a comfortable LF-signal-generator, which produces signals from 1Hz to 20 kHz with a resolution of 1 Hz. Phase shift between left and right channel is adjustable from 180° to +180° and an attenuator can be used for steps of 0dB, -3dB, -6dB, -10 dB, -20 dB, -30dB. Frequency, level and attenuation can be adjusted independently for left and right channel and optionally left and right channel can be chained. AudioWave produces sine and noise signals, as well as modulated signals. Automatic frequency and level progress is programmable. Complex adjustment can be stored as presets with clear names...

RealView is a measurement application, which records and plots measured values from analogue hardware devices in real-time. Several curves can be plotted into a single diagram. Several diagrams can be arranged on one or more pages if necessary. Plot options like pen width or pen color can be used to create perfectly styled diagrams...

The ProfiLab-Expert software allows you to develop your own digital or analogue measuring technology projects. It doesnt matter if you want to create analogue measurements or digital controls - you can realize it all. And for all this you dont have to write a single program-line. You create your projects just like drawing a wiring diagram. Simply add buttons, displays, etc. to your diagram and build your project step by step...

Digital-ProfiLab was designed for measurement and control applications, combining features like circuit and logic simulation, front panel design, and hardware control to one powerful tool. Incoming signals from external devices may be processed and displayed. A circuit editor is used to enter your application without any programming. The project is controlled from an user-editable front panel. A huge number of components is available from the well-sorted library, and makes it easy to create a measurement or control application within minutes. Even logic simulation is one of the various features...

The DMM-ProfiLab-Software allows you to develop any measuring technology projects based upon digital multimeters: A simple curve plotter or a complex measuring technology project. By the integrated support of relay cards you are not only able to read and process measurement values, you can even react. You can create complete control systems! And for all this you dont have to write a single program-line. You create your project just like drawing a wiring diagram. Simply add buttons, displays, etc. to your diagram and build your project step by step...

Times have changed and there is no need to keep your elaborate electronic project in an old cigar packet any longer. Today specialized dealers offer cases for almost all electronic applications you may think of. But still self-made devices often look quite incomplete, because of a missing front panel design...

sPlan is a software with already many thousands enthusiastic users. You need a software to design your schematic circuit diagrams easy and fast? You wont get pass sPlan! No matter if you only want to sketch a little circuit diagram or if you need to design a big project with several pages...

LochMaster is a developers tool for stripboard projects. It has useful functions for designing, documenting and testing a board. Therefore you will find features like auto-generation of components lists, a connection test, an editable library with a large number of symbols and components, and many more...
