All required functions, like wiring, splitting tracks, soldering, placing components, etc. You can choose from several board types with different layouts and grids. LochMaster displays views of both sides of the board and both sides are editable. You can load and edit all older projects with this new version. Of course the new version 4.0 is fully compatible to all previous versions.
You can now create your own boards, if your desired board is not already defined. Another great feature is the integrated board-editor. The new extended library looks almost like real components. In the new version we have made the software more realistic. Therefore you will find features like auto-generation of components lists, a connection test, an editable library with a large number of symbols and components, and many more. It has useful functions for designing, documenting and testing a board. To examine the copper tracks on the back side in more detail, you can also flip the board over by pressing another button.LochMaster 4.0 is a developers tool for strip board projects. There is a function to make the component side semi-transparent so you can see the tracks on the back side of the board. The entire circuit can be built using this process. You select components from the fairly large library (to which you can also add your own components) and place them in the desired positions, and you can enter component designations. You can see the shape of each component, and there is even a 3D mode with images of many components to make things look even more lifelike. LochMaster is not a true CAD program, but instead a visual aid for the virtual positioning of components on a stripboard in order to determine the best layout. The current version (4.0) runs perfectly under most Windows versions up to at least Windows 8 (we haven’t tried it with Windows 10 yet). However, that takes nothing away from its quality and usability. This program from the Germany company Abacom has been around for quite a few years, with the last major update in 2011. The LochMaster software tool is helpful in these situations. Unfortunately, most PCB layout programs do not provide much support for this, so it’s ultimately up to you to figure out the best way to position and connect the components. Many electronics enthusiasts use stripboard to build small circuits and prototypes.
