When a correct component is selected from the Toolbin, the corresponding element of the schematic diagram flashes. When connections are wired correctly on the Breadboard, the shading of the connection in the schematic diagram changes from gray to black. The user places components selected from the Toolbin on the Breadboard by clicking the desired slots with the mouse. The user can make changes by dropping unwanted components in the Delete trash can. Resistors are color-coded, and capacitors and inductors have value lists which can be set to the desired value.
Operational amplifiers are also available.
Two types of help are available. The Assistance option accesses the program's extensive on-line help library. It provides context-sensitive help in the form of a list of anticipated problems for the particular part of the lab that the user is in. The Intro option provides animated demonstrations which help the user get started in the laboratory. This feature evaluates the user's work.
