2. Network wiring diagram

First of all it is necessary to have an ideaabout required network wiring diagram

(acc. to the existing project)

The wiring diagram is taken as a

pattern for creation of the final wiring

diagram with use ofxSpider

Any existing network wiring diagram,

which was created by the xSpider, can

be quickly modified acc to new needs

How to do it:

1. Open some ofDEMO by click on icon2. Modify properties of components by double click

onto the relevant component

2. Network wiring diagram: How to use the DEMO ?

In a case the user wants to start withcalculation in a short time, it is reccomended

to use some ofDEMO pre-definedwiring diagrams.

With use of modified drawing (Erase of componets

or change of operational status of devices On/Off)and after modification of parametras according to

needs (Database) it is possible to start with

calculation within 10 - 20 minutes !!
