Activity 2: Compare the components in two design variants

If you are starting this activity immediately after completing Activity 1, close Tubescreamer C Board but leave Tubescreamer C Schematic open.

1. From the Data Panel, open Tubescreamer D Board.

2. Along the top of the canvas, click the tab for the schematic to open it.

3. In the toolbar, click Validate > Synchronize .

   The Synchronizer opens, showing Tubescreamer C Schematic as the Source document in the left column, and Tubescreamer D Board as the Target document in the right column.

   

   This display is useful for inspecting the design changes applied to Tubescreamer C to produce Tubescreamer D. For this activity, the green plus sign beside LED4 indicates that it was removed from the D board, and would be added back if you synchronized the two designs. The red minus signs beside R25 and the first net in the list indicate that this resistor and a 12V power supply were added to the board, and would be removed if you synchronized. Transistor T1 was modified on the board.

4. After reviewing the design changes, in the Synchronizer click Close to leave the two designs unchanged.
