Program służy do symulacji analogowych układów elektronicznych w fazie tworzenia.
ACM is organized as a main program or window and several sub-programs or windows. The main window, menu, and commands are primarily there to facilitate and coordinate the activation and termination of the sub-windows. It is within the sub-windows that the majority of the functionality of ACM resides.
At present, the sub-programs included in ACM are the following:
Project Document Holds the names of project files for use by any function that requires them for action.
Simulator Performs circuit simulations as a result of menu commands.
Simulation Document Stores the simulation (.ckt) file contents for view, editing, and use by the simulator.
Output Document Stores and displays the Output Message file produced by any simulation command. Contains primarily non-numeric results of a simulation or an attempted simulation.
Results Document Stores the primarily numeric results of any simulation command. You examine, modify, delete, combine, and transform the data stored in this document with commands in the 'Analyze' menu.
In addition to these above document file types, ACM utilizes an application initialization (.ini) file to store certain information about the operation and setup of the application. The use of this file allows ACM to retain from one session to the next such information as font settings, main window size, main window location, working directory, and other user selectable settings.
By using menu and/or toolbar commands of the main window and program and sub-programs and the windows they control, you activate the above functions as you see fit.
The Project Document is the mechanism that the ACM program uses to organize and manage the information needed for the circuit development task.
The Project Document is organized somewhat like a three ring binder that you might use to keep different sheets of paper related to a task. The filenames that are stored in the Project represent the types of information that are needed by the different functions within the ACM program. You might consider them as tabbed separators in your three ring binder: one section for the project circuit, one section for the results, and one section for miscellaneous information.
This organization has been chosen to allow you great flexibility in the names used, yet relieving you of the burden of remembering them and entering them for each additional task to be performed.
