 +Summary
 +
 + Under EU Free Software , we discover a multitude of free software in the field of electrical engineering but also more general science. Work under Linux
 +
 +made the experience much more interesting .
 +
 + In our turn , we will be presenting qelectrotech , a simple tool for mapping electrical circuits. The result is a remarkable graphic quality that makes possible the operation , including educational purposes.

 +Abstract
 +
 +Within the unit of Free Softwares , We Have Discovered many free tools and softwares related to electrical engineering goal aussi more general scientific domains . Working on a Linux environment made ​​the experience even more interesting. In turn , we will present qelectrotech , a single mapping software for electrical circuits. The results show a remarkable That makes the graphic quality can use in educational purposes.

 +   "Teaching a non-free program returns to teach dependence , which is contrary to the mission of the school " - Richard Stallman
 +
 + 
 +
 +introduction
 +
 +It was in 1984 that the free software movement was born , headed by researcher Richard Stallman followed by a handful of programmers. Opposed to the restrictive policy source code , they are expressed
 +
 +for a free user access to programs.
 +
 +Free software gives users the freedom to run , copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software .
 +
 +Qelectrotech is a program under GNU / GP is free and open . It is specially designed to make the electrical mapping oriented electrical and power electronics , no simulation or calculations. Its simplicity and practicality make it a must for any electrician software.
 +
 +A. Interface Overview
 +
 + {{ :qelectrotech-fin-3_13.jpg|}}
 +
 +TEQ interface is simple and easy to use . At the top is the menu bar . It provides access to many functions : creating project files , editing, etc. preferences .
 +
 +The work area is to the right , this is where they deposit items, and link them to form the pattern.
 +
 +The left side gives access to two components: the first is the " panel elements ", which includes the current project , the associated diagrams, all projects of the user, mainly collections of components. The first is the common collection provided by default , the second is that of combining its components created by user himself
 +
 +same or imported from outside .
 +
 +The second 'Cancellation' pane displays a list of all the shares of companies changes and cancellations in the diagram.
 +
 +At the bottom of the work area are editable elements of cartridge.
 +
 +Note that in the current version , support is not available , however explanations are available on the website of the software.
 +
 + 
 +
 +B. features
 +
 +We will explore the features of TEQ through a small example schema : Industrial Process . 1 . Creating a project
 +
 +{{:qelectrotech-fin-4_14.png?100|}}
 +
 +Press this icon to create a new project. Note that TEQ can handle multiple projects simultaneously , and each project can contain multiple schemas .
 +
 +  {{:qelectrotech-fin-4_15.png?200|}}
 +
 +
 +By clicking on Project in the menu bar we can add a diagram to remove , to clean .
 +
 +It is necessary to change the project properties to properly define and to work as desired. We will go back the project name , size patterns , the type of driver to use (single or multi-wire ) , date etc. . Projects are saved in a file . Qet incorporating all the parameters of the project,
 +
 +diagrams with all components .
 +
 +  {{ :qelectrotech-fin-5_16.jpg |}}
 +
 +2 . Make a diagram
 +
 + a. Submit a component and annotate  {{ :qelectrotech-fin-5_17.png |}}
 +
 +Make a diagram TEQ is so quick and easy : just locate the component to be used in the panel and then click on elements by drag / drop in the work area .
 +
 +After moving the desired component
 +
 +You can annotate by double clicking
 +
 +on empty fields provided for this purpose .
 +
 +The components can be rotated , deleted, copied , or by clicking
 +
 +above with the right mouse button or by using shortcuts
 +
 +.
 +{{:qelectrotech-fin-5_18.png?200 |}}  {{ :qelectrotech-fin-5_19.png?200 |}}
 +
 +Text can be inserted by clicking the icon at the top right
 +
 +                                                                                          
 +
 +b . Wiring components
 +
 +To connect a component to another , simply position the mouse over the component terminal and "pull
 +
 +"Until the arrival terminal .
 +
 +If you want to connect a third component after the second , simply not click on the link already drawn but on the terminal of the first element as shown below if . The connection point will automatically .

 + 
 +
 + 
 +
 + 
 +
 + 
 +
 + 
 +
 +In case of son would overlap , as shown below , it is sufficient to click a son concerned, it becomes red and can then be shifted so as to be distinguished from the other thread .

 +
 +3 . Printing diagrams and export
 +
 + Once the plan is finalized, we can TEQ is : - D
 +
 +e launch direct printing or save as PDF or
 +
 +Postscript via
 +
 +print icon  {{ :qelectrotech-fin-6_23.png|}}
 +
 +{{ :qelectrotech-fin-7_24.png |}}
 +To export the drawings to an image file (JPEG , PNG , Bitmap and SVG ) via
 +
 +" File " in the menu bar .
 +
 + {{ :qelectrotech-fin-7_25.png |}}
 +
 +The image size can be changed, security settings , format, options also made .
 +
 +4 . Edit an item
 +
 +Here is one of the strengths of this software and free software in general
 +
 +: The freedom to adapt
 +
 +software according to these needs. Among these requirements , the user can for example edit a component provided by default. Note that this is only possible for the system administrator , other users can not modify shared content between different sessions . Edit component is as follows : Click the right mouse button on the target component in the
 +
 +Panel elements . Select "Edit element".
 +
 +We took the example of a simple circuit breaker that we want to edit. It can be selected either in the collection of components , or if the pattern is already .
 +
 +  {{ :qelectrotech-fin-8_26.jpg |}}
 +
 +Several geometric shapes can be added from the toolbox basic element " terminal " must be used by all components against . Care must be taken to adapt the framework to the size of the component {{ :qelectrotech-fin-8_27.jpg|}}
 +
 +avoid
 +
 +some display problems due to a disproportionate scale. The button display in configuration displays all the parameters characterizing a piece of the scheme: The color, position, orientation , etc. and modify them if necessary . This version of TEQ adds , adjust elements freely pixel by pressing the Ctrl key during the operation.
 +
 +   
 +
 + 5. Creating a new element
 +
 +TEQ provides the ability to create yourself a new item. To do this, simply
 +
 +click on the icon
 +
 + 
 +
 +A window appears, in laqelle must be specified category where the element is created , its
 +
 +name ( including language ), the dimensions of the new element and the point of entry of the element with the mouse , and finally the possible orientations. The design of the new component is exactly the same as for editing.
 +
 +The official website of qelectrotech provides a space for exchanging elements for
 +
 +user community.
 +
 + 
 +
 +C. Conclusion
 +
 + We discovered a more free software in the field of Electrical Engineering . Qelectrotech is a young but very promising free software as evidenced by the notoriety he already bénificie within academic and professional electrical engineering. The number of developers increases dramatically , and major improvements are planned , both in terms of functionality in terms of graphics .
