Description
Inside OrCAD goes beyond the reference guide supplied by OrCAD. It contains an overview and introduction to modern schematic drafting,
with exercises intended to help the reader master the use of OrCAD via a 'hands-on' learning experience - information that has been de-emphasized
in the manuals for recent OrCAD versions.
This introduction to OrCAD is designed to give easy access to practical information. The
command reference is a complete listing and explanation of the OrCAD commands and functions. A series of appendices provide important
tips and techniques and information about linking OrCAD to other Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Engineering tools used in the
electronics design process. The enclosed disk contains a parts library for the tutorial exercises and several useful utilities, making
this book a valuable tool for the design engineer or engineering student.
