In designworks, parts are organized by libraries of similar parts. The library that we will use the most is the primgate libary. To see what library is currently selected or to change libraries look at the parts window. To place a part into design works, double click on the part in the parts window and move the cursor over the design area. An outline of the part should appear and to place the part, left-click the mouse, after placeing a part, the outline will remain allowing you to place more of the same part. Below I have shown some basic parts and briefly describled how they work.
NAME: | LIBRARY: | PICTURE: | DESCRIPTION: |
AND-2 | PrimGate | Simple two input and gate. | |
NAND-2 | PrimGate | Two input nand gate | |
NOR-2 | PrimGate | Two input nor gate. | |
OR-2 | PrimGate | Two input or gate. | |
NOT | PrimGate | Not gate. | |
XOR-2 | PrimGate | Xor gate. | |
XNOR-2 | PrimGate | Xnor gate. | |
Binary Probe | PrimIo | View the value on a wire. | |
Binary Switch | PrimIo | Select between 1 and 0 on a wire | |
Hex Keyboard | PrimIo | Used to specify vaules on 4 wires at once. | |
Hex Display | PrimIo | Used to view the values of four wires. | |
Clock | PrimIo | A clock to be used in clocked circuits | |
Port In | Pseudo | Used for creation of blocks. | |
Port Out | Pseudo | Used for creation of blocks. |
