== Working with Toolbox ==
One of the important visual elements of [[RF.Spice A/D]] is its '''Toolbox''' located on its left side panel. The Toolbox allows you quick access and navigation to all your project properties, parts in the current project, parts in your custom palette, and all the parts in the database. It also contains the Test Panel and all the graph settings and controls. From the toolbox, you can quickly select parts, set various [[parameters]] for the analysis of your circuit and customize your output data and graphs.
[[RF.Spice]]'s Toolbox has a number of tabs:
* [[#Parts Bin | Parts Bin]]
=== Parts Bin ===
Besides [[RF.Spice]]'s standard database browser where you can search a part by name or filter by category or keyword, the '''Parts Bin''' of the toolbox allows you to pick and place the exact part you want by function, manufacturer or name from a pop-up menu. Clicking on the "Parts Bin" tab allows you to scroll through a parts list grouped by function, or by manufacturer or by name. "Parts Palette" allows you to store your most frequently used parts available in your company's inventory for quick and easy access. You can add and remove parts as your requirements change.
The first time you select a part, the program will seem to hang, but it is indeed pulling data from the parts database. This might take a few seconds and is completely normal. More importantly, this will only happen the FIRST time you select a part. Once the program fills in the data, subsequent device selections will take place without a pause.
=== Circuit Parameters ===
The '''[[Parameters]]''' tab of the toolbox contains a list of all the parts in your circuit whose [[parameters]] can be changed, such as resistors, capacitors, etc. Next to each part is its current value. The purpose of this area is to allow quick changes of part values while a live simulation is running.

=== Circuit Animation ===
Circuit [[Animation]] allows graphical and text representation of the circuit state on the schematic using wire/part colors as well as symbols and text to represent the voltage, current and power states of the circuit while a live simulation is running. More details about live data visualization can be found in the section on [[animation| Circuit Animation]].
