A design aid program for implementation of digital networks on wirewrap circuit boards

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This thesis presents an interactive graphics-based FORTRAN program which aids the process of implementing a digital system with wirewrap<sup>2</sup> circuit boards. Integration of the program into the stream of design process steps is considered and details are presented concerning the development of the interactive graphics subsystem of the program. The user has complete freedom in specifying the location of integrated circuit units on the board. The program provides drawings of both sides of the circuit board, a listing of wirewrap wiring instructions and an equation list of the digital system. Some improvements and refinements of the program are suggested.
