WireCAD maintains a global database with tables representing Manufacturers, Equipment, Signal Types, Connectors, Etc.
Getting started with WireCAD entails setting up the global databases to fit your needs. While the database is populated with data you may find that it suits your needs to purge the data and start fresh. If this is the case we can provide empty databases. At the very least you will want to set up the Signal Types grid with your defaults.
Next you will customize the Equipment Library with the products and IO that you use. In order to do this, you may either download existing products from the WireCAD Community Server or enter your own.
oManufacturers - The topmost table in the hierarchy
o Equipment - The Equipment description
o Inputs - inputs of a device
o Outputs - outputs of a device
oSignal Types - signal types and a bunch of defaults.
oConnectors - connector types.
oPinouts - pin out definitions (data).
oColor Codes - color code look-up. Used by Cable Types.
oCable Types - cable type information.
