Edison Version 4 provides
a unique new environment for learning electricity and electronics.
Teachers, students and electronics enthusiasts can use digitally
scanned photorealistic components, a solderless breadboard,
virtual instruments, sound and animation to create, test, and
safely repair lifelike 3D circuits and simultaneously see the
corresponding circuit schematic. Edison also comes with over
100 experiments and problems that teachers and students can
use immediately. Select lifelike
batteries, resistors, diodes, LEDs, transistors, logic gates,
flip-flops, and even integrated circuits-- all easily available
on the shelves of your multimedia lab. Pick and drag components
onto your worktable or plug them into the realistic virtual
breadboard, where you can even see the hidden internal connections.
Wire the parts together with the mouse and your circuit begins
working immediately so you can test and troubleshoot it with
virtual instruments. In addition, Edison automatically prepares
a standard schematic diagram and displays it simultaneously.
Once you have become familiar with schematic diagrams,
you can use Edison’s schematic editor and circuit analyzer,
compatible with the more advanced TINA circuit analysis program.
Edison provides a state of the art analysis results window
in addition to its virtual instruments. Using the results
window, you can create diagrams with full control over axes,
line style, color and fonts. You can print or save these diagrams
and the 3D circuit in high resolution, or cut and paste them
into your favorite word processor.
One of the most intriguing and innovative
features of the new Edison is that it can not only calculate
voltages and currents, but also, for linear circuits, show
how these results are derived or mathematically described.
For example, you can learn how to use Ohm’s law, how
the output of a filter varies with frequency, and how the
voltage of a charging capacitor varies as a function of time.

Edison is the exciting new way
to teach and learn about Electricity-Electronics. You can
use the multimedia functions of Edison to investigate and
experiment on screen to find out how real circuits behave.
Lifelike 3D components are connected
using the mouse to form realistic networks. Bulbs burn more
brightly and motors turn more quickly as the applied voltage
is increased. You can see the bulb light and even hear the
motor turn. Change the value of components to alter the scenario
- resistor color codes change automatically!
If the voltage is too high the bulb will blow! However all
is not lost; use the repair facility to restore the damaged
component and make the circuit work. Introduce meters to measure
circuit parameters and discover and prove the laws of electricity.
Design practical circuits and introduce faults so that problem
solving techniques can be mastered.
Edison is suitable from age 8
to pre-university level. It provides a precise but fun environment
in which students can discover the excitement of the Fabulous
World of Electricity.
