TINA PRO ReadMe Document (README.TXT)

Welcome to the new version of TINA, TINA PRO, version 5.21.

TINA PRO is an upgrade of the earlier programs, TINA for Windows and 
TINA Plus for Windows, already in wide use throughout the world.

New features in TINA Pro 5.21:

10,000+ built in components
	
1,000+ manufacturer supplied components in Spice subcircuit format

New models, including nonlinear coils, transformers, relays,
Darlington transistors, optocouplers, voltage regulators, fuses,
comparators, CMOS Logic ICs, bus components, and much more
	
Enhanced algorithms - now Spice 3F5 compatible

Fast 32 bit version for Windows 95/98 and NT
	
HTML-based component help
	
Subcircuits, which may include both Spice macros and schematics
	
Automatic shape creation for subcircuits
	
Schematic Symbol Editor for creating custom subcircuit components
	
Component Toolbar Editor for adding your own components to TINA's
component toolbar. Now you can create new component groups and 
buttons and place them anywhere on the component toolbar.
	
Spice macros can be now used directly from TINA's schematic editor.
	
Spice models given with .MODEL parameters can be now added to TINA and
used directly from TINA's schematic editor.

Parameter extractor program to calculate model parameters from catalog or 
measurement data
	
Library manager for extending and maintaining manufacturer made component 
libraries
	
Multimeter, Oscilloscope and Signal Analyser components
	
Average and RMS value determination for arbitrary periodic waveforms
	
Schematic Diagram Editor - Undo and Redo function with unlimited number of 
levels
	
Enhanced Fourier Analysis - 64 Fourier components with both peak and RMS 
calculation

AC Analysis - RMS calculation; any number of sources, each with arbitrary 
frequency
		
Tool for adding legends to diagrams
	
Conversion of symbolic analysis results to code that can be executed in the 
Interpreter
	
Export of symbolic results to Mathcad

Ability to specify temperature separately for each component 
	
Export of diagrams to text files from the Diagram Window

Newly redesigned component symbols

Fault simulation for digital components

Glitch control parameter in the Analysis/Options menu

Enhanced impedance meter to calculate and plot impedance vs. frequency 
of active, nonlinear circuits

Fourier Analysis can now be executed directly from the Analysis menu.
