4 Simulation Examples
To connect the components
1
From the Draw menu, select Wire to enter wiring mode. The
cursor changes to a pencil.
2
Click the connection point (the very end) of the pin on the
bubble at the input of the circuit.
3
Click the nearest connection point of the input resistor R1.
4
Connect the other end of R1 to the output capacitor.
5
Connect the diodes to each other and to the wire between
them:
a
Click the connection point of the anode for the lower
diode.
b
Move the cursor straight up and click the wire between
the diodes. The wire terminates and the junction of the
wire segments is made visible.
c
Click again on the junction to continue wiring.
d
Click the end of the upper diode’s cathode pin.
6
Continue connecting components until the circuit is wired
as shown in Figure 2-1 on page 2-2.
