HICAP 1.6
Electronic Circuit Analysis Program

This Freeware application simulates circuits, and its waveforms as you
would see either on a six-trace oscilloscope, or on a signal
frequency transfer curve plotter.
The application has Mac-Draw like graphic entry of resistors,
capacitors, inductors, diodes, and dependant or independant
voltage or current sources.
Clusters of components can be assembled to subcircuits.

The number of components in this freeware version is limited to 60.

15 types of independant sources (generators) are available, ranging from
sine, step, pulse, or free (graphically entered) waveforms to those used
in power electronics like pwm inverters and thyristor rectifiers.
The sweep is plotted during the calculation. Intervention is possible to
modify anything in the circuit, then the sweep can be resumed.
Many sweeps can be displayed on one screen to see long term effecets, or
to see what changed after a circuit modification.

HICAP runs on any PPC or 68k mac, even under system 6 as long as you
have less than 8Mb of memory. If you have more, load HICAP before
other application so it resides in the first 8Mb of RAM.

New in version 1.6 :
Pasting outside window prevented.
Multiple voltage clipped capacitors allowed.
Any mix of diodes and saturable inductors allowed.
Multiple use of most generators allowed.
