ABSTRACT:
A user of a computer aided design (CAD) system graphically places fire alarm elements, such as smoke detectors, sirens, and sources on a drawing area. After one or more of the elements are placed, the disclosed methods and apparatus automatically determine a series of electrical circuit connections between alarm source elements and alarm appliance elements. This determination may be based on circuit type compatibility as well as a number of connected segments between a particular alarm source and a particular alarm appliance.
