2-4 Lesson 1
Circuit Diagram Simulation You will need to select Simulation View to test the wired circuit
diagram.
Activate the Simulation View via View, Simulation or by clicking the
Simulation button at the bottom of the Toolbox. The following figure
shows the Simulation View in PicoSoft Pro.
The Simulation View is also divided into the three areas of the
PicoSoft Pro user interface. The Toolbox [1] contains the simulators
for the inputs and different dialogs for setting simulation parameters.
The Properties field [2] takes on the role of a display panel on which
you can watch the states of inputs, outputs and markers. The circuit
diagram area [3] is used to display the power flow of the different
rungs of your circuit diagram.
To test our circuit diagram, proceed as follows:
1. Left-click the Play button in the toolbar to start the
simulation.
2. Click the I Inputs button in the Toolbox. This will open a dialog
that displays the physical inputs of the device.
3. Click the switches of inputs 1 and 2 in the Toolbox [1] and watch
the behavior of the power flow in the circuit diagram [3].
Energized rungs are highlighted in red.
