A wiring design system when applied to wiring boards having various wiring restrictions, has a rough wiring plan at the floor plan stage so as to complete a wiring design satisfying the wiring restrictions in a short period of time while evaluating the congestion degree of the wiring. Logical connection information for wiring parts and signal group information for handling the connection information is input as a signal group. The signal group is handled as a wiring unit for a wiring path search and the signal group is divided into smaller groups. An optimum path is then determined in such a way that the divided smaller groups run adjacent to one another whenever appropriate.

A solid state starter apparatus for a discharge lamp comprises a current limiter, an AC power supply, a discharge lamp of filament-preheating type and a switching circuit for controlling the turning on and off of the discharge lamp. The switching circuit further includes a lightedstate detector circuit for detecting the turning on or off of the discharge lamp, a current breaker circuit controlled by the lighted-state detector circuit to cause the filament current to be turned on and off, and a preheater circuit for starting to supply a filament preheating current in accordance with the magnitude of the current controlled by the current breaker circuit.
