Here’s an AddOhms video covering eight must-try features! The February 2024 release brings a whole host of new stuff to the Schematic editor. However, the PCB editor, CLI, and Simulation tools also received attention. (There are something like 900 closed issues for the 8.0.0 Milestone!) Which of these is your favorite? In the video, I cover: Property Manager Panel (is now everywhere) A fix for Symbol pin or wire end off connection grid! Easily access alternate pin functions (on symbols with them) Pin Helpers save time Edit Power Symbols (instead of creating new library parts) Net Navigator and Search panels help with large schematics Improved custom polygon tools in PCB (Combined) Teardrop support and Length-Tuning improvements This AddOhms post covers my top 8 in more detail. Or, you could just watch the video!

What that DMM Beep Means - A Continuity Mode Tutorial | Workbench Wednesdays #23https://www.baldengineer.com/what-that-dmm-beep-means-a-continuity-mode-tutorial-workbench-wednesdays-23.htmlTue, 28 Apr 2020 21:23:00 +0000https://www.baldengineer.com/?p=8298Chances are, you have used the continuity mode of your digital multimeter. But how much do you understand about how it works? In this video, we break down how the mode works, what the beep means, and show examples of how to use it (correctly.) It might seem silly to spend so much time on such a simple mode. However, I have run across a few posts on the Internet, including the element14 Community where people do not understand continuity mode. Sometimes it is just a lack of experience and sometimes it is a total lack of understanding of what is happening. The biggest mistake, of course, is trying to measure continuity on a powered circuit. That is just a no-go. So in this video, I wanted to show what the meter is actually doing, how it sees different components, and give a couple of real-life examples of how to use it.
