Reading A Schematic
After 60 years on this planet, I can still read and understand schematics!
and other technical carts like the electromagnetic spectrum usage.
Schematic
A schematic is a diagram that represents the elements of a system using
abstract, graphic symbols rather than realistic pictures. A schematic
usually omits all details that are not relevant to the information the
schematic is intended to convey, and may add unrealistic elements that
aid comprehension.
In electronic design automation, until the 1980s schematics were
virtually the only formal representation for circuits. More recently,
with the progress of computer technology, other representations were
introduced and specialized computer languages were developed, since with
the explosive growth of the complexity of electronic circuits,
traditional schematics are becoming less practical. For example,
hardware description languages are indispensable for modern digital
circuit design.
