Introduction.
1.1
- Description
- Eeschema is
powerful schematic capture software, available under the following
operating systems :
-
-
Whatever the system
used, the generated files are completely compatible from one system
to another.
-
Eeschema is
“integrated” software because all of the functions of
drawing, control, layout, library management and access to the PCB
design software are carried out from within Eeschema.
-
It also allows
hierarchical drawings, using multi-sheets diagrams .
-
It is intended to work
with printed circuit software such as PCBNEW, to which it
will provide the Netlist file, which describes the
electrical connections of the PCB to design.
-
Eeschema also integrates
a component editor which allows the creation, editing, and
visualization of components, as well as the handling of the symbol
libraries (Import, export, addition and deletion of library
components).
-
-
-
Eeschema also integrates
the following additional but essential functions needed for modern
schematic capture software :
-
1.2
- Technical overview.
- This 32 bit software
is limited only by the memory size available.
-
There is thus no real
limitation to the component count, number of component pins,
connections, sheets…
-
Eeschema allows simple
or multi sheet diagrams.
-
In the case of multi
sheets diagrams, the representation is hierarchical, and the access
to each sheet is then immediate.
The maximum size of the
drawings is always adjustable from A4 format to A0 and from A to E
format.
