I used to have a software where you could virtually create an electronic circuit and test it. I am drawing a blank and cannot think of the name. Anyone remember / use the software ?? What was it called ?? Is there something similar ??

Name as many tests as you can that can be carried out to test an electronic device?
Testing an electroic circuit, something like a transistor circuit or a light signalling circuit ect.
How can I connect the electronic circuit to the computer when I to use it as an oscilloscope?
I installed a software that let me use the PC as an oscilloscope , but
it does not mention how to connect the circuits to be tested with the computer an through which port.Does anyone lead me?
I mean how can I connect that cable to
the circuit ?
Measuring voltage at a circuit point
This is an important action when checking the circuit performance for analysis or when you repair a circuit/electronic device.
When testing circuits you often need to find the voltages at various points, for example the voltage at pin 2 of a 555 timer chip. This can seem confusing – where should you connect the second multimeter lead?
- Connect the black (negative -) lead to 0V, normally the negative terminal of the battery or power supply.
- Connect the red (positive +) lead to the point you where you need to measure the voltage.
- The black lead can be left permanently connected to 0V while you use the red lead as a probe to measure voltages at various points.
- You may wish to fit a crocodile clip to the black lead of your multimeter to hold it in place while doing testing like this.
