=========================================== Release Notes for Electronics Workbench 4.0 =========================================== Welcome to Version 4.0 of Electronics Workbench. The following information was received too late to be included in the Electronics Workbench User's Guide. --------------------- Additional Components --------------------- Two additional components have been added: a resistor pack and a clock. See the on-line help for details. ----------------------- More Simulation Options ----------------------- To allow for more user control over the simulation, two new options have been added. To use them, choose Analysis Options from the Circuit menu. Temporary File Size for Simulation The default temporary file size is 10 Mb. When the file reaches its maximum size, you will have three choices: 1) stop the simulation, 2) discard the existing data and continue or 3) use more disk space as required. If the following option is enabled and there are many nodes in your circuit, a lot of data will be generated. In this case, you may want to increase the temporary file size if you are interested in scrolling the oscilloscope back in time to the start of the simulation. Store results for all nodes By default this option is disabled. Results are stored only for the nodes attached to the oscilloscope when the simulation begins. In most cases this speeds up the simulation and uses less memory. However, you will only be able to scroll back in time for the original two nodes. Enabling this option will allow you to move the oscilloscope leads around and scroll back in time for any node. It may also require more memory. ----------------- Viewing the Demos ----------------- There are no demos available at this time. --------------- Sample Circuits --------------- A number of sample circuits are included to demonstrate various features and components in Electronics Workbench. The TUTORIAL subdirectory contains circuits referred to in the tutorial chapters of the User's Guide. The COMPLEX subdirectory contains larger, more complicated circuits. They may require longer loading and simulation time and/or extra memory to simulate. Tip: After reading the description for a sample circuit, you may find it helpful to close the description window. If you then choose Arrange on the Window menu, you will be able to see more of the circuit. (c) Interactive Image Technologies Ltd., 1995.
