LogicWorks is an intuitive software tool for designing interactive circuits. With its user-friendly interface, creating circuits is easy and efficient.
This software is so user-friendly that students can create and test circuits in minutes without spending valuable lab time. Additionally, LogicWorks is upwardly compatible with DesignWorks, Capilano's professional package. Thus, students can employ their personal copy of LogicWorks on their Macintosh or Windows computer, design circuits, and transfer them to DesignWorks for integration, analysis, and testing in the lab.
There are various benefits associated with using LogicWorks, including schematic editing that allows you to cut, copy, and paste any group of circuit elements. The software automatically detects signal line connections, and the editing features are relatively simple. You can create your device symbols and customize their simulation function by defining an internal circuit using existing components. There are pop-up menus that provide immediate access to critical commands from anywhere on the diagram.
Simulation is one of the key features of this software. LogicWorks allows you to display any number of signals simulataneously in the timing diagram. You can group any collection of signals into a single timing trace with value displayed in hex. Also, the software has a thorough library of built-in primitive simulation elements for all common digital elements. All primitive logic elements are scalable and can be constructed as a single element. The software comes with built-in support for RAMs, ROMs, and PLAs, whereas sophisticated multi-state simulation supports high and low drive levels, "don't know" values, three-state and wired-AND logic.
The customer support provided for this software is quite impressive, including free updates and supplements via the Internet. There is also a thorough 400+ page printed manual provided. However, the software has some limitations, such as limited functionality and saving disabled.
