<br>
Part A is block diagrams with a name for each block and maybe a place to<br>
write it's function in text. Color support for the interconnects would<br>
be nice.<br>
<br>
Part B is maybe a Spice-like circuit analysis, drawn from the block<br>
diagram level and drill down to each individual IC and component. it<br>
would be great if it has a library of IC's and components with their<br>
electrical characteristics available. Thermocouples are involved, as<br>
well as their analog voltages being measured and converted into an I2C<br>
signal for reading by a Beaglebone Black or Raspberry Pi 2. Color<br>
support (and stripes) for the actual wires would be very nice.<br>
<br>
Rubber banding of wiring and connections is mandatory. :)<br>
<br>
So what do you guys suggest so that I may make pretty documents for<br>
these circuits?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
