With the help of this software engineers, students and developers can create timing diagrams, which is critical for digital logic design or waveform analysis.
WaveDrom
WaveDrom is a Windows solution for generating accurate timing diagrams using a simple text based description language. The split screen design enables real time updating, where any changes in the code are immediately reflected on the display.
Programming process
The application utilizes a simplified and readable syntax that resembles JSON, making it accessible to users without extended coding knowledge. It is possible to manually define important components such as:
- Signals;
- Clock cycles;
- Waveforms;
- Time based events.
Similar to LTspice, all processing is done locally without relying on the internet connection. This makes WaveDrom a powerful asset for professionals in environments with limited network capabilities or when processing sensitive data that cannot be shared. Resulting diagrams might be saved as SVG files, which is perfect for high quality, scalable graphics in documentation, presentations or reports.
Advantages
With the help of this tool you are able to instantly create timing diagrams, facilitating rapid testing and verification of various designs. It is easy to generate accurate visualizations without the need to apply traditional manual drawing techniques.
Features
- free to download and use;
- contains tools to design and modify waveform diagrams on the PC;
- you can configure internal elements such as signals and clock styles;
- there is support for the SVG output format to simplify further processing;
- compatible with all modern versions of Windows.
