With LogicWorks 4, installing and using this interactive tool has never been easier. The friendly user interface allows students to begin designing and testing circuits in minutes without the need for complex manuals. LogicWorks 4 builds on the success of the previous version by adding new features that expand the utility of the package.Features:Provides improved support for Programmable Logic Arrays with interactive editing.Includes a completely new user interface that uses the latest in customization features.Uses ActiveX (for Windows users) so instructors and students can add unlimited functionality to the package and integrate Internet and other functions.Allows users to create professional-looking schematic diagrams with powerful features like bussing, multi-level Undo/Redo, text annotations, title blocks, etc.Allows users to demonstrate the full range of digital design techniques including three-state logic, drive levels, transmission gates, PLAs and PLDs, FPGAs, and delay, timing, and inversion issues.Includes symbol libraries for many of the most commonly used devices and gives students full capacity to create their own, including simulation models. New schematic drawing features allow students to create finished, professional-looking schematic diagrams.Wizard tools automate and simplify the generation of schematic symbols, sub-circuit blocks, and PROM, PLA, and RAM devices with full simulation.Expand the Design Horizons with ActiveXIn addition to these hard-wired export formats, LogicWorks4 opens a new dimension of customization capability with Microsoft's ActiveX technology. ActiveX allows users to build their own add-on components for LogicWorks using standard programming tools like Visual Basic and Visual C++. These components can add new simulation, analysis, display and export capabilities, extending LogicWorks4 with new design and teaching technology.
