MacCAD, a computer aided design program, was developed as an
analysis tool of continuous, linear control systems for the the
graduate level Controls or Electrical Engineering student. A variety
of programs are presently available for the IBM-PC and the IBM
Mainframe. MacCAD is written in Pascal and operates on the Apple
Macintosh. It was developed in order to meet the need for a powerful
yet simple to use program with high quality graphics and multiple
window capabilities. It offers a highly flexible block manipulator
capable of handling virtually unlimited blocks and loops, along with
the standard analysis tools, Bode, Nyquist, Root Locus and Time
response plots. Mouse and menu driven, it offers user defined
plotting and calculation parameters which include multiple plot
overlapping and linear or logarithmic plot point intervals.
