WavePaint Guides

Practical, original guides for engineers, students, and technical writers working with digital waveforms. Learn the concepts, follow concrete protocol examples, and open WavePaint to build the diagrams yourself.

Start with the fundamentals

• Timing Diagram: A Practical Guide — signal states, buses, annotations, timing constraints, and common use cases.
• Waveform Editors: Features and Workflows — how visual editors, simulators, and text-based tools differ.
• How to Create a Timing Diagram — a step-by-step workflow from signal list to export.

Protocol examples

• SPI timing diagrams — clock polarity, phase, chip select, MOSI, and MISO.
• I2C timing diagrams — start and stop conditions, address phases, data, and acknowledgements.

Open WavePaint to create a timing diagram in your browser. Waveform data remains on your device unless you explicitly export or share it.
