Timing Diagram Tool?

...

What's that round thing in the top slot, a drop of solder flux?

Here's a photo of the kind of thing:

It's also an inexpensive source of small bits of SS shim stock. ;-)

Hmmm. speaking of solder, Digikey seems to have jacked up their prices of 63/37 Kester '44' to *double* that of Mouser ($28/lb rather than $14/lb). Seems a bit much.

Normally that can be cured using On the Tools menu, click Customize. Click the Options tab. Select or clear the "List font names in their font" check box.

Also, when an administrator installs the font while a user is logged in, the user cannot use it (Office does not show it) until the user logs out and in again.

That is SOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo nice an image.

Probably an RoHS thing. As I recall, if they allow *any* lead into their building, everything they sell is suspect for having lead contamination.

RoHS manufacturers have to be very careful to not allow lead in their doors.

Google doesn't carry ANY of the binary groups.

Absurd.

Many mil contractors are exempt and have both technologies in house at any given time, and nobody is so retarded as to say that one contaminates the other.

How would a pirate know?

There is a package for Linux. "This software package provides a command line tool for documenting hardware and software designs through timing diagrams. It reads signal descriptions from a text file with an intuitive syntax, and outputs a timing diagram to an image file. Notation typical of timing diagrams found in the Electrical Engineering discipline is used, including arrows indicating causal relationships between signal transitions."

It is a mainstream Linux package and should be easy to obtain. (It is part of the Debian distribution). SourceForge should certainly have it.

Sounded thin. You made me check. My eraser shield, probably from the '60s, seems to be .0051" . (I have no way to measure just the areas close to my most frequent mistakes -- maybe a bit thinner.) Another case of the cheapening of modern products?

Hmm. Just noticed there is a very slight cylindrical curve to the device. I was never instructed about that, or forgot, seems the proper application would be convex down?

Maybe they didn't have the technology to make it that thin back then? ;-)

Dunno, I don't recall any formal training in using a shield. I barely remember using a drafting table with the arm etc. in high school.

I don't think the curve was intentional. I think it was a result of punching all of those fancy shaped holes. My recollection is the concave side has all sorts of sharp burrs that will eat your eraser PDQ. I always used mine with the concave side down.

Oh, that's what he meant. Yes, one side is rounded a tiny bit and the other has a sharp edge.

I always bent mine concave side down. Makes it easier to pick up.

When we moved out here we briefly had an apartment and thus cable TV. Then I discovered that there was one Episode of Gilligan's Island every morning at 6:30am or so. My wife said that I've got to be kidding...

Great show. Powering the radio from coconuts. Shame I was outbid on eBay for lunch with Mary Anne (benefiting charity, of course, she's such a goody-goody).
