Elecdes Design Suite Tutorials
The following tutorials are intended to show you the basics of creating drawings with Elecdes Design Suite and using the database and reporting facilities of EDS.
The tutorials are provided in a movie format.
These movies are used to show you the procedure for each step in the tutorial.
You may view each movie several times, to become familiar with the procedure, before attempting a step.
Note on catalog data:
During these tutorials catalog data is selected for many components. We will always choose the appropriate data for any symbol but not necessarily for the circuit the symbol is placed in. When you create real circuit diagrams, you will need to consider the components relationship to other components in the circuit [and other design criteria] before selecting catalog data.
