Software – Schematic on the Fly (W5CLDB-P)

Current build 5200.

Windows 10 / 7 / XP preferred.

2000 is preferred.
NT/98/95/ME require additional installation steps.

Part of “Schematic on the Fly”®.

Part of “Schematic on the Fly”®.

Provides notes for single items or complete paths and additional Database Navigation methods.

“Built in” Database that is always available.

Simplifies data entry.

Used by “Schematic on the Fly”® to create Drawings.

Specifies the actual connection to the above Equipment.

Documents cases where rare, unusual or complex Connectors are used.

May be used for Impedance, Signal Levels or any other critical information.

A text area used to document any parameters that do not fit into the above categories.

Type of Signal Eg. Audio, Video etc.

Direction and type of connection. Eg Input, Output, Bi-directional.

To provide the greatest possible flexibility 5 modes are provided:

• Number.	Eg: 1001
• Text.	Eg: Video Cable
• Text & Number.	Eg: Video Cable – 1001
• Number & Text.	Eg: 1001 – Video Cable
• Text & Number & Text.	Eg: Video Cable – 1001 (Timed)

In addition to the standard features, additional tools are included to assist in maintaining correct sequences: “Unique Testing Mode” to warn of duplicates and “Cable ID Offsetting” to shift blocks of numbers.

Graphical View of Cable Labels – Cabel Labels Database.

Provides Equipment and Signal filtering and “Path Finder” selection.

Shows all data for a Single Cabel Label.

Spreadsheet style view of Multiple Cabel Labels.

Create and edit Equipment.

Create and edit Signals.

Used to design and create how Fields from the Database and graphics will appear on a Cabel Label. The Editor provides endless possibilities:
• 100% User Defined Layouts
• Basic (Fixed Layout and Fields)
• Map Data so it is shown as Text
• Advanced Display (Barcodes, Bands etc)
• Include Logo in Layout
• Copy between Databases

Sets many default parameters for a Database. Eg: Layout, Cable ID, Colours

Enables the individual conductors within a cable to be documented.

A handy area to keep bits of information that is not related to a specific item.

Report/Export contents are User Defined. A report creation tool is provided.

Enabling this facility is particularly useful when opening Databases over a Network that may be problematic. Before the Database is opened for use, a backup copy is made so if the network crashes you will still have the original Database.

Rather than create a new Database its sometimes easier to create a copy and modify it. Rename and SaveAs make this process very simple.

Enables Databases to be loaded automatically each time the System starts. This makes operation very simple and fast. We recommend using this facility and the “Default View” set to “Schematic on the Fly”® for most “day to day” applications.

Handy way to make a large number of changes to the Database at once.

This is a neat way to move about the Database quickly, particularly if it is large. When “Jump To” is invoked it shows a drop down box listing the contens of that Field in the Database, “click” and you immediately jump to that data.

A way of highlighting cables that is stored in the Database.

Swap some or all of the data between End A and End B Fields. Ideal after adding a copy and they are the wrong way around – saves a lot of typing!

Consider the following example:
Routing Switcher Input 1
Routing Switcher Input 2….
By the time you reach Input 128 things are pretty boring. When enabled this facility reads the data in a field and will increment/decrement it every time a new record is added – another great time saver.

There are many special functions to reduce the workload, these are accessed using small “…” buttons in relevant places.

This applies to the Single and Multiple View. It enables the data to be ordered by any field, or group of fields in ascending, descending or mixtures of these.

Hide, show, set the order and width. These make the Multiple View easier to use for a specific application.

This is a little popup window on the right hand side of the Multiple View. Its very handy as it shows all the data for the current row, this stops you scrolling over to see it.

A neat little utility that provides conversion between various definitions and can provide actual voltage, current and power values.

A block circuit sketchpad. Place the blocks you need on the page, print it out and then draw the connections. Ideal for thinking about various options. The user can also add their own blocks.

A little note area for those odd times when you need one.

This provides advanced Printer/Spooling/Page Size functions which reduces Printer Driver support required for most printers.

Tractor pull feed is recommended for simplicity and reliability in volume situations.

Windows Driver must support limited Page Size Settings (A4). Some Driver settings will require adjustment to cater for loading and ink variations.
