Best PCB Design Software

EDWinXP, the integrated solution in Electronics design world. Fast, Flexible,Ease of designing which takes a designer from Schematic to the fabrication within fraction of time with very less investment. EDWinXP is an fully integrated EDA software package for automated design of electronic products. This integrated tool covers all stages of electronic design process -schematic capture, simulation, PCB layout design, generation of PCB manufacturing and testing documentation.

Complete design information is stored in the integrated project simultaneously accessible by Schematic Diagram Editor, PCB Layout Editor, Fabrication Output Manager and Simulators. This simulator provides EDWinXP users with the facility to analyze and validate the functionality and behaviour of circuits captured in the form of schematic diagrams. The EDSpice simulator is based on SPICE3F5 and XSPICE with a number of extensions and improvements.

Front and back annotation of all design changes is fully automatic. EDWinXP comes with an extensive part library, which may be updated, customized and enhanced with the help of Library Editor. All data about hierarchical electronic design (which may consist of several circuits and sub-circuits) is stored in a single database, along with PCB layouts for every board in the design, i.e. the software works on the concept of integrated project database. In other words, the documentation of a complete electronic device may be stored in one disk file. All parts of the design project – schematics, PCB layout and PCB fabrication drawings and documents are simultaneously accessible by task oriented software modules of the system. Changes in the design, entered on diagrams are automatically and in real time annotated on PCB layout design and vice versa.

The current version, EDWinXP 1.90 unveils a countless set of features, comprising of Schematic Editor, Simulators – Mixed Mode Simulator and SPICE based simulator EDSpice, PCB Layout Editor – Create the PCB Layout, Fabrication Manager – generate Manufacturing output files for Photoplotter, NC Drill etc, Thermal Analyzer – check for hotspots on the board, Electromagnetic Analyzer (with Signal Integrity and Field analyzer) – check for electromagnetic effects on the board. 3D Viewers and Editors, VHDL Editor with facility of automatic project creation from VHDL source and Converters (CUPL, JEDEC, XILINX), Microcontroller Simulation using 8051,AVR,PIC,Motorola Microcontrollers, 3D Library Editor, Model Generators from VHDL for Mixed Mode and EDSpice Simulators with facility of automatic creation of model/ library along with other features. Apart from the major attraction, completely integrated design concept with Automatic Front and Back Annotation and 28,000 + Library Components and Library Editor for library component creation. EDWinXP supports Reverse Engineering – complete reconstruction of project database using full set of artworks in Gerber ASCII format or complicated PCB Outline. Other modules are VHDL/Truth Table to diagram converter, 3D IDF file viewer, Filter Designer, ODB++ export and import and much more..

NEW!! EDWinNET 1.0 Release

Dear EDWinXP User,

ince 3 years, we have been working on the conversion and movement of EDWinXP to a new platform, .NET. Read more about the .Net platform. It has been a very large job.16 million lines of code has been overlooked and in many instances changed, which has caused most of our application to be changed internally. Our team in India and Estonia are doing a very good job. Now when we see the light in the tunnel, we hope that we can get a beta test team (beta test October -December) to find most of bugs until we have the final release, planned for December 2013. Are you interested in beta-testing EDWinNET ver 0.99, please write an email to Visionics India, support@visionics.a.se

Our New Offers

As we used to, also this time we will have an offer, or rather two, for our existing customers, not using our latest version, EDWinXP 1.90, or not having a service and maintenance agreement.
 Customers with a valid service and maintenance contract will get the new version free.
 Our educational prices will also increase, in average 30%. Call your distributor for current pricing                                                                                                  .
 If you don’t use version EDWinXP 1.90, you can upgrade now and get version EDWinNET 1.0 free, when released.  
 If you use version EDWinXP 1.90, you can purchase a service and maintenancecontract, giving you 12 months of free upgrades and updates.
 Are you a new customer to us? All purchases from 15-8-2013 will give a free upgrade to EDWinNET 1.0, when released.
 With the new platform, we have secured that we can expand EDWinXP further and maintain compatability with new Windows system.

Wi-Fi for Gesture Recognition

Researchers at the University of Washington have found a way to detect and recognise human gestures based on how they affect Wi-Fi signals. The technology, dubbed WiSee, could enable multiple users to control home appliances such as light switches and music players, with a simple wave of the hand.

Animatronics

Animatronics is mainly the combined usage of electronics and robotics which helps to create machines that seem to animate rather than robotic.In other words  it is a mechanised puppet that can be preprogrammed or remotely controlled.It is basically used in movie-making,museums,parks and provides other forms of entertainment.It is not a simulation of reality but are physical objects moving in front of the camera. Animatronics is basically used in situations where a creature does not exist or when the action to be done is too risky or costly to use real animals or actors.These physical objects are controlled by using either computer control or human control and the movements are obtained by using electric motors,hydraulic cylinders,cable mechanisms etc. Animatronics played a vital role in cinematic history before digital effects came into practice.The technology behind animatronics is becoming more advanced nowadays making the puppets loooking more realistic with the wide use of electronics.

PCB

PCB stands for Printed Circuit Board. It is a thin board made of fibre glass containing electrical wires which connects the central processor to the other components on the board.Printed Circiut boards in short are called as PC Boards as we use these boards in our personal computers.Other than personal computers there is a wide range of application for PCBs in radio,television,music players etc. PCBs provide mechanical as well as electrical support to the electronic components.If the board has only copper tracks and no circuit elements like resistors,capacitors,these PCBs are called are Printed Wiring Board(PWB).A PCB populated with electronic components are called as Printed Circuit Board Assembly(PCBA).
