|-
|00:08
|In this tutorial, using '''eSim''' we will learn to-

To edit a '''Subcircuit'''.

To modify the '''component schematic'''.

|-
|00:19
|To record this tutorial, we will use-

'''Ubuntu Linux OS''' version 16.04

'''eSim''' version 2.0

|-
|00:32
|To practice this tutorial, you should know

To create and '''simulate''' a '''circuit''' and a '''subcircuit''' in '''eSim'''.

|-
|00:41
|If not, watch the prerequisite '''eSim''' tutorials on this website.

|-
|00:47
|To launch '''eSim''', you need to double-click on the '''eSim''' icon on your '''Desktop'''.

|-
|00:53
|I have already opened '''eSim'''.

|-
|00:57
|On the '''eSim''' window, click on the '''Subcircuit''' button from the left toolbar.

|-
|01:04
|A '''subcircuit''' tab will open up.
