Composers produce concrete circuit diagrams anchored in the technology they have to hand.
The band diagram may be shown connected to a circuit diagram showing how bias voltages are applied, how charges flow, etc.
Ladder logic has evolved into a programming language that represents a program by a graphical diagram based on the circuit diagrams of relay logic hardware.
For example, hardware designers mainly use three graphical representations when describing a piece of hardware: circuit diagrams, state diagrams and timing diagrams.
Schematics are used to draw up circuit diagrams and connections.
If one follows the flows through the circuit diagram then the basic structure of 1 (common flow) and 0 (common effort) nodes can be identified.
This metaphor naturally lends itself to an intuitive graphical representation of connectors and their composition that strongly resembles (asynchronous) electronic circuit diagrams.
The graphic user interface allows students to quickly and easily draw, modify and combine analog and digital circuit diagrams.
