Atlence Resistor Viewer

The juice that makes it possible to use all devices to properly function is electricity, which needs to be carefully distributed and stored so it does not deal physical damage either to you or the device itself. Resistors play an important role in circuit design, with elementary lessons from school coming in handy for calculus of different values and resistances. Luckily, applications like Atlence Resistor Viewer give you a change to learn how to read resistor color symbols and how calculus is done.

At a first look, the application seems polished from every point of view. For instance, right from the start, you are asked whether or not you want to take your time to go through the basics, or jump directly to the main window. The first impression is further enhanced by the clean, slightly customizable interface, fitted with neat animations and effects, as well as helpful tooltips for nearly any field you need to fill in.

A generic resistor is displayed along with color labels. Next to each, there are all possible colors and you can freely change all of them. Each represents a different value so technicians know how and where to use them.

Up to six color labels are available so you can experiment with different situations, which comes in handy for students or enthusiasts that need or want to learn a thing or two about resistors. Alongside the color selection panel, two sections let you automatically set values to standard ones commonly used, as well as a calculations section for Volts, Ohms, Amperes and Watts.

Since all values are linked together, filling in one of them automatically calculates the rest. Besides the numerical value, you can also view the expression through which the value is determined, in other words, stuff you learn in school.

A few export options are at your disposal, such as the possibility to copy values or the image to your clipboard, or save it to file under popular formats. What's more, there's an integrated help manual which also contains color code recognition methods, further increasing practicality.

To sum it up, Atlence Resistor Viewer is a small, lightweight, but practical application overall with which you can learn resistor color codes in an intuitive environment. Several calculations can also be done, with further aid from tooltips and expressions used. Export options are also available, with all of the above being enough reason to make the application worth at least a try.
