DigiSim v3.0
Description:
DigiSim is a digital circuit simulation program made in Visual Basic,
a very user friendly programming language, the user friendliness of which
is reflected in DigiSim. A great deal of effort and time has been invested
on making this software as user friendly and as easy to use as possible.
Also effort has been put in to standardize this software with all the
other major windows based software's available. The user-friendly nature
of the software enables any user with the minimal knowledge of computers
to use it with considerable degree of ease.
This project was started 3 years ago by me just to find a better way to understand digital electronics. While in college I was taught the subject, I wasn't able to actually assemble circuits and try them out. This software was developed by me to bridge the gap. Now in its third version, this software has come a long way from just being a circuit designer in its first version, to a simulator in Version 2.0. Version 2.5 saw the addition of DigiScope (something like an oscilloscope that lets you see the waveforms at points in the circuit where you choose to probe) and a modifiable circuit library that simply expanded the scope beyond basic 2 input gates provided in Version 2.0.

Features:
- The circuit can be drawn in a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) manner. This means that the user draws the circuit on the program as he would draw it on paper.
- DigiSim also offers extra facilities like the ability to export the digital circuits drawn as bitmaps.
- To facilitate assembly of this circuit on the breadboard, we have also listed the pin configurations of the most commonly used gate ICs.
- This program also has advanced components such as Sequence Generator which allow even professionals to implement even complex circuits here.
- The Trace Mode is a useful debugging/troubleshooting tool. Circuits can be drawn and then the faults in them can be rectified. This mode shows the flow of logic through the circuit.
- DigiScope is a waveform plotter allowing you to plot the waveforms across various points in the circuit.
- A help file is provided to guide you through the program.
Version 3.0 boasts of a completely new Simulation engine, removal of certain known bugs and a better way to use connectors. Older users will recall how it was difficult to connect components using connectors. The ends of the connectors had to be placed exactly at the pin of the component. The latest version provides "Sticky Connectors" that automatically attach themselves to the nearest component. Also included is a Truth Table Generator that can analyze the circuit and generate the truth table, no matter how many inputs and outputs are present. All these can be reported too, right from circuit screenshots to waveforms and truth tables. This will take care of all your documenting needs.
