ELECTRONICS TOOLKIT

 

 

From simple Ohm's Law calculations in direct current (dc) applications to complex design equations for alternating current (ac) and radio frequency (rf) circuits, the Electronics Toolkit can help anyone solve basic electrical and electronics formulas quickly and accurately.

 

Whether you are a hobbyist building electronics projects, a repairman performing electrical repairs or a broadcast engineer licensed by the FCC, the Electronics Toolkit can simplify your work.

 

The Electronics Toolkit can help you in the day-to-day calculations involved in electrical and electronics work ranging from complex projects such as the design of frequency converters to  calculating electrical and electronic values during electronic assembly and experimentation projects.

FEATURES

 

Each subject area in the Electronics Toolkit is organized into a separate worksheet which includes the following features/advantages/benefits:

 

  • Basic definitions are included for reference purposes

 

  • Input and output variable fields include a choice of units where appropriate

 

  • Actual formulas used in the calculations are displayed for ready reference.  This is a distinctive feature that sets the Electronics Toolkit apart from many of the other products on the market. Having access to the actual formula used in the calculation, the user can apply the calculation with less guesswork and greater confidence in the results.  This also makes the program a good teaching tool.

 

  • Where appropriate, additional diagrams and application notes are included to assist the user.

 

  • The Electronics Toolkit is an 'open' application model that can be expanded by the user to include customized calculations and notes.

 

BENEFITS

 

Easy to Use
-- The spreadsheet format does not require installation in your computer, so you can put it to work at any time on any PC running Excel.  All calculations are conveniently organized into separate worksheets and are easy to locate and apply.  Each worksheet can be printed out for documentation or future reference.

 

Cost Effective
-- At only $19.95, the Electronic Toolkit is one of the most cost effective products on the market.

 

Convenient
-- Take the program with you and use it anywhere on any computer running Excel. Also, the spreadsheet model means that the software is totally open and non-proprietary. So the user is free to customize the calculations, add worksheets, or include additional notes as desired.

 

Saves Time
-- All key electronics formulas and calculations are compiled in one handy CD (there is no need to hunt around for a handbook with formulas that must be entered manually into a calculator).

 

Simplifies Your Work
-- While there are other products on the market, the majority  must be installed to run.  They also allow only one set of units (so you are forced to convert input data prior to entering it into the program). Usually, the other programs do not display the formula used in the calculation, so you are never sure of the results.

 

On the other hand, the user friendly interface of the Electronics Toolkit simplifies the formula calculation process so you can concentrate on solving the design or the troubleshooting process.  With the formulas clearly displayed, you can be more confident of the calculated results.
