Running and measuring
Run, pause and freeze the circuit, read values, and use scopes, cursors and probes.
Running
A valid circuit runs straight away.
- Wire colour shows voltage. Teal is positive, coral is negative and grey is 0 V.
- Moving dots show current. Change how fast they move in the Inspector.
- Running / Stopped pauses the simulation. Reset sets the time back to zero.
- Freeze labels every voltage and current and halts the graphs. Press Resume or edit the circuit to continue.
- Speed changes how fast the simulation runs.
Reading values
- Hover over a part or a terminal for a quick reading.
- Click a part and open its Live section for voltage, current and power.
Scopes
Right-click a part or wire and choose View in New Scope to add a graph along the bottom.
Use the gear on a scope to change the time window with Shorter window and Longer window. Trigger can be Off, Auto or Normal, with Rising edge or Falling edge.
All settings… opens the full list. The Graphs menu lets you Stack, Unstack, Overlay or Separate scopes.
Probes and meters
Place these from Parts, under Meters, displays and labels:
| Part | Shows |
|---|---|
| Voltmeter / Scope Probe | Voltage at a point |
| Ohmmeter | Resistance |
| Ammeter | Current |
| Wattmeter | Power |
| Test Point | Voltage statistics at a point: RMS, average, minimum, maximum, peak-to-peak, period and duty |
