Electrical software

[chrsb]

What software do you use the most for calculations? There are a lot of programs out there and I was wandering what gets the most use out of it? Here are a couple that I am looking into-
Volts by dauphin software- Volts
Wireguide by Zoltec- wireguide

I use an older version of wireguide that came with my estimating software. Also if there is any other software that you use often please post it here.

I'm looking for software that will interface with PDA for service call type work.
I vaguely remember seeing a system in one of the trade mags.

You could also give this software a try:

There is a free demo available.

Re: Electrical software

Well after looking through the programs I decided to go with Volts. I liked the fact that all future upgrades are free right now. I own the ECM program, but am disappointed that they charge alot of money to upgrade as the code changes. I am extremely happy with Volts, I even used the one line diagram on a proposal I recently did. The company even gave me a call to make sure I didn't have any questions after I bought it. I did ask when fuses will be brought into the program and was told in one of the next releases.
