Instruments & analysis

A two-channel scope, frequency response, I-V curves, and meters that read the same solver everything else runs on.

Oscilloscope

Take the Probe tool and click holes to attach channels 1 and 2, then open the ∿ Scope panel. You get triggering, adjustable time/volt scales, XY mode, cursors, and automatic measurements, enough to see a 555's sawtooth, a PWM duty cycle, or a UART byte in flight.

Frequency & curve analysis

  • Bode sweeps (Δ Analysis panel): pick input and output nodes and sweep frequency response: magnitude and phase, for filters and amplifiers.
  • I-V curves: trace a two-terminal device's current against voltage: see a diode's knee or a resistor's straight line.

Meters & the hover readout

The Voltmeter and Ammeter parts read out directly on the canvas. For a quick look, just hover: every hole, pin, and wire shows its live voltage in a tooltip, and the whole connected net highlights so you can trace where a signal goes.

Sensors are instruments in reverse: their Inspector sliders (temperature, light, distance, gas, tilt…) set the physical condition, and the electrical output follows, so you can test firmware against conditions you choose.
