CircuitMaker Student Version – Quick Guide Read these instructions carefully as they will save you a great deal of time in getting started. You can use CircuitMaker Student Version in many laboratories such as EC2-14 from . To get started It is easier to work with a ‘grid’ which you can set up by going to , then and ticking the ‘Display Grid’ and ‘Snap to Grid’ buttons in the ‘Grid’ area of the window. This will then set this up each time you use the CAD system. It is also best to start by selecting digital devices only. This is done by pressing the transistor symbol button (12 th from the left) and observing the button change to a gate symbol. Any action you start (such as drawing connections or placing gates) can be terminated by pressing . For most simple circuits you will need :input(s) – you can use logical switches for these output(s) – logical displays can be used gates – selected by browsing the library of ‘devices’ First get into the device selection menu using and then . Now you can select the device for placing on the diagram, such as:What you want to place Input switch Output display Not gates
