Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the creation of timing diagrams for sequential and normal circuits. Participants share resources, tools, and tips related to drawing these diagrams, focusing on both software options and online information sources.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant seeks websites for information on drawing timing diagrams for circuits.
- Another participant suggests searching for Mealy and Moore state machine timing diagrams, providing a link to a presentation with basic information.
- A participant mentions that Microsoft Visio 2003 includes built-in circuit diagram layouts that can be configured or edited.
- A later reply acknowledges the Visio tip but notes that its schematic library may not align properly, leading users to create their own libraries.
- One participant emphasizes that the original poster's request was specifically about timing diagrams, not schematics, and critiques the lack of specific information provided for assistance.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants express differing views on the usefulness of Visio for timing diagrams and the adequacy of the original poster's request for help. There is no consensus on the best approach or tool for creating timing diagrams.
Contextual Notes
Some limitations include the ambiguity in the original poster's request and the varying opinions on the effectiveness of different software tools for creating timing diagrams versus schematics.
