Introduction
ATPDraw is a graphical, mouse-driven, dynamic
preprocessor to ATP on the Windows platform
Handles node names and creates the ATP input file
based on what you see is what you get

Files in ATPDraw
Project file (acp): Contains all circuit data.
Support file (sup): Component definitions. Used only
when a component is added to the project.
Standard components: ATPDraw.scl
User defined components: Optionally in global library

EEUG sponsored project
Why?
Problems and bugs related to the Splitter
Better support of MODELS input/output arrays
Need for multi-phase communication in Groups
and Models
22
Principles
Nodes and connections extended to 26-phase (A..Z
node name extension)
Only 3-phase nodes transposed
Model arrays X[1..26] supported
Special connection between single phase and nphase node
Connection properties: Color, label, phase carried
Extended Probe capabilities
LCC module capability increased to 21 phases
