 It
is the simulation of a designed PCB together with
off-board components that has stunned teachers
on my ECT course. This feature will compel
the majority of PCB Wizard users to upgrade.  |

According
to publicity material every new bit of software
is the best thing ever—in this case, it proved
exactly that… I used Circuit Wizard to check
all of my students design work prior to printing
the masks and commencing manufacture of the PCBs.
As a result of using Circuit Wizard, I had no problems
with faulty circuit design; the only problems were
with incorrect assembly. |

Having
read some of the reviews of Circuit Wizard, and
purchasing it for my school on the strength of
some of the positive comments, I have to congratulate
you on an excellent piece of software. I've been
a personal user of Livewire and PCB Wizard for
about 3 years so I know many of the features of
the software, but I have to say I am amazed
by some of the additional features in Circuit Wizard,
particularly the breadboard simulation function. |

Auto

particularly like the fact that circuit design

The
auto-routing aspect of Circuit Wizard works better
than other packages I have used… PCB
simulation is a real bonus!! Having had
students frequently make mistakes in manually converting
circuits to PCB layouts (and having missed these
errors myself under the pressure of working with
groups of students on different circuits), I believe
that this is without doubt the most useful feature
in Circuit Wizard. It is also something that I
am not aware of in any other software…There
is no doubt in my mind that Circuit Wizard is the
most useful and usable software of its type. It
will be the only electronics software I use from
now onwards. |

It
is much easier to go from circuit diagrams to PCB
layouts in Circuit Wizard than it is to import
circuits from Crocodile Clips into PCB Wizard.
I will be using Circuit Wizard from now
on in preference to Crocodile Clips and PCB Wizard. |

The
ability to simulate circuits and then have your
successful design automatically
converted into a working, testable 'live' PCB makes
construction much easier, and critically, more
understandable for pupils building their PCBs… A
nice touch is the wide range of batteries and other
power sources that allow pupils to accurately model
the size of their finished cases… Circuit
Wizard breaks down the mental barrier many pupils
have between the circuit diagram and the PCB. They
understand their circuit diagrams but often have
difficulties relating to the less logical PCB layout.
Now the PCB works like the real thing, pupils are
able to better understand what they are designing… This
is so intuitive that I can see KS2 children using
the program to do science experiments... I
think Circuit Wizard represents the biggest step
forward in electronics since Crocodile Clips v2
and PCB Wizard v2 came onto the scene nearly a
decade ago. |

The
PCB simulation is wonderful. Students can easily
see if their PCB works using Circuit Wizard and
they can then check the on-screen simulation against
the manufactured PCB…The elementary 3D components
will be very useful, especially with younger pupils
who need more assistance to visualize circuits… In
conclusion, Circuit Wizard is a great addition
to the whole business of modelling electronics.
I think it will become the standard package
in education. |

The
simulation in Circuit Wizard is much simpler to
use [than Livewire]. I like the probes and the
fact that the graph region opens up instantly...
The window showing the pot control is a nice idea – it
makes it clear what the student is changing and
means that the circuit remains uncluttered for
copy/paste to written reports… PCB
simulation is a very nice feature! |
