Yes. Yes. (Well, not anymore, but I used to hammer it when doing my circuit analysis courses at Uni). > If so, what apps are you using? Straight spice3. I taught myself the Spice circuit description language pretty early, and just stuck with that. After some trial and error, I wrote scripts to parse the output from various analysis methods and turn them into nice-looking GNUplot graphs, even to the level of dB gain graphs and stuff. > I've been trying to use Oregano as the schmatic, then gnucap as the > analysis, but gnucap barfs on Q (Bipolar Junction Transistor = not > implemented), so I am rather stuck atm. Nope, no idea. I just "drew" the schematics using a text editor, ran spice3 in the -b (batch) mode, and then did whatever I needed with the output using various post-processing scripts. Hmm, possible idea for a SLUG talk - if there's at least (say) 10 people who put up their hands and say "yes, a talk on Spice and all things nice -20 would be good" I'll look at dredging up my hazy recollections and putting something together. At least it'll be useful to demonstrate the power of Unix scripting... <grin> - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
