Design Area

The design area is where the power supply is laid out using a source, load, and optional filters between the two.

By moving the mouse over different parts of the design area, you will highlight either a component or a whole block. Right click on the selected item to show a submenu from which further options can be selected.

Block submenu

May allow change, insert or delete. Note that these actions are subject to certain rules.

Change allows the type of source, filter, or load to be altered. Delete will delete the whole block, and Insert will allow a new one to be inserted. Not all of these options may be active for each block.

Double-clicking on the highlighted block is a shortcut for right-click followed by selecting change from the submenu

Component submenu

Has only one option - Edit.

Allows the value of the component to be changed, there may be other parameters relating to the component which can also be changed depending on the type of component. Currently, there are facilities to edit capacitors, current sinks, inductors, rectifiers, resistors, and transformers.

Double-clicking on the highlighted block is a shortcut for right-click followed by selecting edit from the submenu.
