Using Prediction Parts Libraries
A much more efficient way of entering parts is to use the extensive Prediction Parts Libraries supplied with the Prediction module. These component databases include hundreds of thousands of parts, along with the associated data needed for performing reliability prediction analysis.
1. Select the Parts Table.
2. In the empty row at the end of the table, for Part Number, enter 74LS00 and press Tab.
The Prediction module searches through the Prediction Parts Libraries and automatically fills in the appropriate part data.
3. Select the Prediction Data tab to view the data that has been automatically entered for this library part.
You can see that almost all of the parameters have been filled in.
A few fields, such as Initial Temp Rise, are dependent on the operating conditions of your system. You must enter these types of values.
