A circuit consists of set of interconnected components. DLSim 3's component types are described below
Switches and bulbs come in two types: Simple switches
(TB
) and bulbs (TB
); and switchbanks (
) and bulbbanks (
). The latter two model multiple inputs and outputs. To see how
switchbanks and bulbbanks are used to simplify circuit design see
Tutorial 2.
- Add/Delete Label
- Labels the endpoint. Switch and bulb banks may use multiple labels.
- Use "Bank" Pin (switch and bulb banks only)
- Creates a bus pin when current circuit is used as a subcircuit; see Subcircuits.

Actions
- Configure Trigger
- See Level vs. Edge Triggering.
- Set Multiplicity
- Sets the multiplicity value; see above.
) and One (
).
) Edge-triggered.
Action
- Configure Trigger
- Up-clock (<) Down-clock (>) or Dual (<>)
) Pins 0-6 correspond to
respective segments: top, top-left, top-right, middle, bottom-left,
bottom-right, bottom.
Action
- Set LED Order
- See Subcircuits.
) See Bundlers.
) Simulation clock. Output pins provide opposite high and
low values.
Action
- Set Clock Speed
- In milliseconds.
) Actions same as logical elements.
) See Connectors
) Text labels.
Action
- Set Label Parameters
- User can specify label text, font size, style and color.
) User-defined libraries of components. See Plug-ins.
