However, that takes nothing away from its quality and usability. This program from the Germany company Abacom has been around for quite a few years, with the last major update in 2011. The LochMaster software tool is helpful in these situations. Unfortunately, most PCB layout programs do not provide much support for this, so it’s ultimately up to you to figure out the best way to position and connect the components. Many electronics enthusiasts use stripboard to build small circuits and prototypes. LochMaster 4.0 is a developers tool for strip. The object-assistant helps you to create standard-components or often needed contours very easily. Of course you can edit and create your own components and symbols. This is not only a good looking feature, it helps you to keep the clearness. Because of the very realistic representation of the components, the display looks almost like a real board. The component library The integrated component-library includes beside the standard-components like resistors, diodes, capacitors, etc., a lot of mechanical elements like screws, nuts and spacer. This enables you to work with almost every board you can get. If your desired board is not defined, you can create your own boards with the integrated board-editor. Boards LochMaster has already a lot of standard-boards defined. Even 'sflying' soldering points are handled. The well-sorted and extendable library contains lots of material, that can be placed on the board: Electric and electronic components, mechanical elements, symbols and labels are available. All required functions, like wiring, splitting tracks, soldering, placing components, etc. You can choose from several board types with different layouts and grids. LochMaster displays both sides of the board, which are editable simultaneously. You can load and edit any project you have already designed with LochMaster.
It is still compatible with all previous versions. The latest version comes a long with new practical features, like parallel usage of mm, inch and hole grids. Therefore you will find functions like auto-generation of components lists, a connection test, a editable library with a large number of symbols and components, and many more. It has useful functions for designing, documenting and testing project boards. LochMaster 4.0 is a developers tool for strip board projects.
