This sub-menu contains linear branch components. The name and the icon of linear branch objects, as well as a brief description of the components are given next in tabulated form. Data parameters and node names to all components can be specified in the Component dialog box, which appears if you click on the icon of the component with the right mouse button in the circuit window.

The Help button on the Component dialog boxes calls the Help Viewer in which a short description of parameters and a reference to the corresponding ATP Rule Book chapter is given. As an example, Fig. 4.67 shows the help information associated with the ordinary RLC branch.
