Hello danielle

You may be the only (woman) I'm afraid... but as Analog Nerd you have
plentiful company  ;^)

You can use EWB5 very well with multiple generators... you just have to build
them yourself.  I use the Voltage Controlled Waveform Sources (like Triangle and

Square wave) and add a battery... or a battery and a pot. Bring the "leads" out
of the circuit and then create a subcircuit.  You can then play as you wish.

Another cool trick is to make a differential probe using the math function
summing
block. Just invert one input and you have it.
