As you can see, xLogicSoft represents an alterna tive to conventional engineering methods:
1.
You
start by developing the
circuit
program on your desktop.
2.
You
simulate the
circuit
program on your computer and verify its functions, before you actually
implement it in your system.
3.
You
can add comments to the
circuit
program and create hardcopies.
4.
You
save a copy of your circuit program to the file sys tem on your PC, to make it directly
available for any modifications.
5. It takes only a few key actions to download the circuit program to xLogic.
6. Under Simulat e mode in xLogicsoft ,you can study how to program via the panel key
