TEACHING TOOLS

eSketch PRO

eSketch PRO is a powerful schematic capture and simulation application specifically designed for the ultra fast rendition and simulation of frequency-shaping analog circuits such as preamplifiers, amplifiers, active filters, passive filters, crossovers, equalizers and tone controls. eSketch is a specialized program for circuits containing capacitors, inductors, resistors and op amps. It does not provide transistors, diodes or other non-linear devices.

The programs simplicity of use and speed of execution provide an “electronic sketching” environment in which the effects of changes in layout, component values, component tolerances and op amp Gain Bandwidth can quickly be determined.

Schematica capture:

  • file merging
  • importing of (registered) Filter Wiz PRO files
  • rapid component (device) placement
  • fast editing of component values
  • op amp device database provides Gain BandWidth values for over 600 op amps
  • full circuit editing capabilities such as copy, cut and paste
  • annotation with text boxes and markers

Analog circuit simulation :

  • automatic indication of when circuit is ready to simulate
  • view two graphs simultaneously
  • two voltage probes - view both, either, or difference
  • save previous traces to view up to 13 voltages or currents at once
  • amplitude response (real, imaginary, dB, volts)
  • phase and group delay responses
  • input impedance
  • component current, impedance and power dissipation
  • Sensitivity of output voltage to changes in component values
  • transient response to impulse, step and “staircase” inputs
  • “ideal” and “real” op amp models
  • Monte Carlo analysis
  • Parameter Sweep analysis
  • pole-zero placement

Celestia

Celestia is the free space simulation that lets you explore our universe in three dimensions. Celestia runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesn’t confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy.

All movement in Celestia is seamless; the exponential zoom feature lets you explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to spacecraft only a few meters across. A ‘point-and-goto’ interface makes it simple to navigate through the universe to the object you want to visit.

Celestia comes with a large catalog of stars, galaxies, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and spacecraft. If that’s not enough, you can download dozens of easy to install add-ons with more objects.

TinySpell

Occasionally you need to check the spelling of words in an application that does not include a spelling checker and you don’t want to launch your word processor just for that. This is when tinySpell becomes handy. It is a small utility that allows you to easily and quickly check the spelling of words in any Windows application.

tinySpell can watch your typing on the fly and alert you whenever it detects a misspelled word. It can also check the spelling of text that you copy to the clipboard. tinySpell installs itself in the system tray for easy access. It comes with an American-English dictionary containing more than 110,000 words.

Features:

  • Checks spelling in any Windows application
  • Checks spelling on-the-fly (alerts if the last typed word was misspelled)
  • Checks spelling of text that is copied to the clipboard
  • Allows you to specify tinySpell disabled or enabled applications
  • Optionally beeps on error (beep sound can be easily set to any wav file)
  • Opens replacements list with a simple mouse click or a hot-key
  • Optionally copies the selected replacement word to the clipboard
  • Optionally inserts the selected replacement word into the document
  • Allows you to add words to the dictionary
  • Easy Enable/Disable
  • Uses little system resources
