#4 Numerical feedback on Simulation / Current Speed slider is not available
Problem Description
During the normal use of the CircuitMod program, the user has the option to modify the Current Speed and Simulation Speed using the sliders on the right. When operating the sliders, the user can only use the visual feedback of the circuit and plot graphics to judge what values they are setting the sliders to. In addition to this, a numerical indicator of the slider value would help in case they want to return to that value at a later time.
Steps to reproduce the problem
- Start CircuitMode.exe.
- Using the default LRC circuit that loads upon opening CircuitMod, use the mouse to change the value on the slider for Simulation Speed and/or Current Speed.
Note: You can also use any other existing circuit from the Circuit menu or create your own.
- Notice that you can only use the graphics drawn on the screen to gauge the value of the slider.
Suggested Fix
Add a label GUI item that displays the value of the variable that each slider is changing. Alternatively you can add a text field in case you want the user to also be able to input their desired speed via text, similar to how it is done for other options in the CircuitMod program.
