Where did you download from, I only find circuitmaker 2000, or some student version?

Thanks, Russellc

I had the same problem Russell, I searched a few sites until I eventually hooked up with the 6 model. That in fact may be the Student model on the other sites, but I investigated that also and It seems to be the same program. Let me say this is a very versatile and thorough program. I have been playing with it now for 2 weeks and have not even scratched the surface of what it can do.
I do know that there is a pay program that is even more complete but that only offers more of the differing types of op-amps and transistors and more esoteric tubes but the capabilities to construct and model circuits is the same.
I would post the site but I am not sure if that is allowed.

Hi John,

I'd sure like to see it; Please do post a link unless you thing the author would object.

Hi Wayne; I checked the site thoroughly and it explicitly sates that students may download free. Schools must purchase the program, so I see no problem with sharing. I go on this site for the student version as Russell said, believe me, the student version offers plenty of options, check it out. Here is the site:
Circuitmaker 6
http://www.microcode.com/education/index.html
There is also a users group called Microcode Unofficial Users Group
That site offers the option of purchasing a CD with a users guide for 50$ The regular full version costs 395$.
It is a fun toy as well as learning experience. It is the student version Russell. But evidently there is not much difference in terms of modeling. J.R.

Cool, thanks!

Have you ever worked with OrCAD?

Is that the P-Spice program?

Well, yes, they provide PSpice. But their claim to fame was OrCAD, which is a electronics CAD program. My first dealings with them was in the eighties, when fiberglass layout was shifting from guys manually laying tape to make PCB silkscreens to CAD programs like this.

Is that a free site program for transferring schematics to PC's?

Hi John,

No, the programs are for sale. But I think they have some evaluation versions available. It used to be that you downloaded them but now it looks like you request an evaluation CD. One thing I think is cool, is that you can draw a schematic and the system will model it. You can print a copy of the schematic and build a prototype to confirm the model. Then when you are satisfied with the circuit, you can have a circuit board layed out. All this on one suite of programs on the same software platform. It's really pretty slick.

Wayne

P.S. Here are a PSpice model I had done for an active crossover based on Steve Bench's circuit. It provides CD equalization for my loudspeakers similar to what the π passive crossovers provide.

More PSpice stuff on π forum
