Abstract
A method for performing voltage drop calculations in an alarm circuit comprises creating a circuit to be controlled. A first device is selected from a list of devices to add to the circuit. An estimated power supply of the first device is calculated using modified nodal analysis of the circuit and it is determined whether the estimated power supply of the first device is sufficient power for the first device to operate.
