1.) Click the “component” button on the
left side toolbar then click the P button on the left side of Devices caption.
This is where you get the components you need. See fig 1.
2.) The keyword
textbox is used to find the components that you need. For this tutorial we will
use a resistor, switch, dc supply and a led.
We will first pick the resistor. In
this tutorial we will use a 100 ohms resistor. In the keyword textbox type
“100R” see fig. 2.
In the category list click resistor See fig 3.
In the sub category click the “.6w metal film” see fig. 4.
Then double click the result of the 100ohm resistor. This will
automatically add to your devices list. See fig 5
3.) Next we will pick the switch. In the keyword
textbox type switch. From the Category list click “Switches and Relays.
See fig. 6
In the sub category list click “switches”. See fig. 7
In the Results list double click “SPST PUSH BUTTON”. The push button switch will automatically
add to your devices list. See fig. 8
4.) Next we will pick
the led. In the Keyword textbox type led. From the category list click
“optoelectronics”. See fig. 9
In the sub category list click leds. See fig. 10
In the results list double click “Led green active”. Then click
OK. See fig. 11
5.) Now let’s put all
our devices in the drawing pad. From the devices list click button and then
click anywhere in the drawing pad to place the device. Do the same to the other
components. Your pad should look like in fig. 12.
1 6.) Now we will place a dc supply. Click the “sinusoidal
icon” on the left side. Then click “DC” in generators list then place it in the
drawing pad. See fig. 13
Double click the DC supply icon in the drawing pad. In the voltage
textbox type “5” so that the output of our DC supply is 5v then click OK. see fig.

7.) Now connect all
the devices. Click the end pin of the component then click the end pin of the
other component. Your circuit should look like fig. 15.
8.) We must add a
ground for our circuit to simulate. Click the pad button on the left side
toolbar. From the terminals list click ground and place it on the drawing pad.
Connect the ground to the led. See fig 16.
9.) Our circuit is
complete. To run the simulation click the play button on the bottom left
corner. To light the led click the switch. See fig 17
