SE Amp CAD allows the user to see the changes in the schematic immediately, as circuit component selection is made. Furthermore, the needed component values and the resulting changes in operational voltages are also updated on the fly. The choices made in the circuit schematic define the circuit that SE Amp CAD evaluates. In addition, this schematic will be printed in the "Circuit" report.
Although SE Amp CAD deals only with the actual output stage of a SE amplifier, the number of different circuits that can be defined is large. For example, indirectly heated cathode or directly heated? If directly heated, center-tapped or not center-tapped? AC or DC through the cathode? If DC, a raw DC power supply or a regulated power supply?
The component values needed for the cathode resistor and power supply are calculated by SE Amp CAD instantly and displayed on the schematic. If the user wishes, the component values can be hidden, as can the circuit voltages, in order to make the schematic less cluttered when viewed.
