2. Import your Wiring Harness Dataset

  • Launch the program and upload your wirelist spreadsheet.
  • Our intelligent fuzzy-matching engine automatically maps your column headers to key diagram attributes.
  • Verify auto-detected mappings and adjust any columns prior to finalizing.
  • Click Generate Diagram.

3. Navigate and Edit your Diagram

  • Termino generates a complete, clean harness drawing on the canvas instantly.
  • Drag-and-drop connectors freely; Manhattan routing recalculates connections around obstructions automatically.
  • Hover over UI elements for tool-tips or hit the in-app "How To" help menu for reference.

4. Generate Documentation Exports

  • In the top menu bar, click Export to open the drop-down menu.
  • Select Export Build PDF to generate a static PDF drawing that contains the wiring diagram along with the data table.
  • Select Export Web Viewer to bundle a fully interactive HTML viewer for sharing offline with partners and vendors.
  • Select Generate BOM to auto-export a Bill of Materials .csv file based on your current design

2Core Features (All Tiers)

  • πŸ“Automatic Orthogonal Routing: 90-degree Manhattan routing algorithm recalculates wire paths to avoid overlaps and node collisions.
  • πŸ‘οΈSingle Line Diagram Mode: Collapse complex multi-conductor cables into neat bundles for a high-level visual summary of your entire harness design.
  • πŸ’‘Dynamic Highlighting: Hovering or clicking any wire segment or connector pin instantly glows its entire electrical pathway and dims others.
  • 🧩Auto-Layout: Automatically organize connectors and splices using a custom Sugiyama-style engine. Isolates independent subsystems, reduces wire-crossings and dynamically staggers high-density layers to minimize visual clutter.
  • 🧹Routing Clean-up: Trigger instant recalculations to clean up canvas aesthetics and bypass layout changes on the fly.
  • 🏷️Customizable Wire Annotations: Overlay critical specifications (gauge, color, length, and twisted-pair icons) directly onto wire routes.
  • πŸ“ŠConfigurable Data Panel:Expand a configurable bottom table to inspect wire properties, reorder headers, and apply column-level sorting instantly.
  • πŸ”Subsystem Filtering: Find and isolate targets instantly by searching for parts/nets or ticking specific signal types in the sidebar.

3Advanced Features (Plus & Pro)

Plus Tier Features

  • ♾️Unlimited Wires per Project: Design large-scale harness topologies containing thousands of circuits with no software limits or truncation.
  • πŸ“„Export Build PDF & Data Sheets: Export vector blueprints with integrated pinout sheets matching either the whole drawing or just a filtered subsystem subset.
  • πŸ’»1 PC Workstation License: Register and authorize your Plus license subscription on a single PC.

Pro Tier Features

  • πŸ–₯️2 Workstation Licenses: Authorize your Pro license subscription across 2 PCs simultaneously.
  • πŸ”„Continuous Source Data Re-import: Overlay spreadsheet changes mid-design; new connections route automatically while keeping your custom manual node placements pinned
  • πŸ“‹BOM Report (.CSV) Export: Generate standard Bill of Materials lists including shell configurations, cavity seals, terminal part numbers, wire counts, and calculated lengths
  • 🚨Intelligent Error Validation: Get dynamic warnings on loose pins, missing destinations, invalid connections, and gauge anomalies.
  • 🌐Interactive Offline HTML Viewer: Export fully offline, interactive schematics. Partners can pan, zoom, highlight signal nets, and inspect columns in any web browser without installing Termino.
