Capacitors

A free, open-source tool for calculating series/parallel capacitors.

Introduction    ↑   → 

A free-running calculator for testing the range of a vairable capacitor in series/parallel with a fixed capacitor.

List of Features     ←   ↑   → 

• Calculates total capacitance.
• Both series and parallel at once.
• Unites of measure are SI: nF, pF, fF, etc.

Predictive Toy     ←   ↑   → 

Should be self-evident how to use. Click the white arrow to start, enter max and min values for the variable capacitor, and a value for the fixed. Play with the slider. You will get an idea how coarse or fine will be the control.

You’ll need two things for it to run: my *.exe application itself, plus also the interpreter program on which it runs. Kind of like Java that way, except that the Java interpreter is probably pre-installed on your system. The LabVIEW run-time engine will not be.

1.  LabVIEW Runtime Engine 
   • This is the interpretor program.
   • Or, should it please you, the entire LabVIEW programming environment.
   • Link back to ky8d.net/free where I give download instructions.
2.  KY8D_Series_Parallel_Capacitors.exe 
3. Unzips as a *.exe file. Employ a stand-alone ZIP archive software (like  7-Zip ) for the extraction.
4. Source Code, for any who want it.
   • Here too is my source code to do with just as you please. And although I will take it very kindly if given credit, I do not insist you must do so.
