WEBENCH® Tools: Line transparency setting - the numbers are the inverse of 'transparency'

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS62740, TINA-TI

Tool/software: WEBENCH® Design Tools

In the setting for the line width, colour, transparency, the 'Transparency' number is actually the line 'density', the inverse of transparency... If I set a transparency of 80%, I expect the line to be mostly transparent, or?  But, it works in the opposite sense, where a 'transparency' of 20% gives a density of 20%.

Nit-picking, perhaps, but just trying to get better ;-)

    Hi Barry,

    Can you please help provide more details on this? Is it in the flash or html version of the tool? And, which section in the tool you are changing these settings in? A screenshot would be really helpful. From your description, it does look like we would need to change either the scale or the description to opacity.

    Regards,
    Amod

    Amod, you are correct, simply changing the term to 'opacity' is all it takes to do the job here :-)

    the screenshot function does not capture the mouse pointer, so I'll just 'fake it' in these two shots:

    Here's 'Transparency' set to 20%

    and 'Transparency' set to 100%

     

     

    As you suggested, 'Opacity' is the right term :-)

     

    THX !

    Hi Barry,
    Thanks for sharing the details . This has been reported to concerned team. We shall update you once it is available on ti.com.

    Thank you, Bhushan, and the Team :-)

    I met the 'main man' for Webench at Embedded World, or Electronica, nice job, generally, very helpful to have available.

    Now, if only... ;-)

    I'm doing tests where it would be nice to be able to sequence the turn-on, like set Vin to a nominal voltage, and then assert Enable, and, in the case of DUT's like the TPS82740/TPS62740, do voltage changes in the simulation, and/or, change the LOAD control line... in general, I guess, add the capability to sequence the state of control lines...

    Just asking ;-)

    Hi Barry,

    Thanks for your input on the sequencing the state of control lines. This feature does not exist today and would be something we could use for future upgrades to the tool. But you might be able to do that today using a TINA-TI or PSPICE model with a set of PWL sources and some logic blocks.

    Regards,

    Yes, it's a bit tricky, even in TINA-TI, but do-able...but I don't have TINA-TI on my Mac, at home ;-)
