echo Hewlett-Packard Applications Computer Aided Design program (AppCAD) is
echo a collection of software tools (or modules) which aid in the design of
echo RF and Microwave circuits and systems. AppCAD also includes a part
echo selection guide for Hewlett-Packard RF and Microwave semiconductors.
echo.
echo The following modules are included in the program:
echo.
echo Transistor Design Data
echo Mixer Spurious Search
echo Microwave Calculator
echo Microwave Path Calculations
echo Transmission Lines
echo Two-port Circuit Analysis
echo Spiral Inductor Design
echo Impedance Matching
echo PIN Attenuator and Switch Design
echo Schottky Detector Calculations
echo Transistor Bias Circuits
echo NoiseCalc

echo HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
echo ---------------------
echo.
echo AppCAD is designed to work on all Hewlett-Packard Vectras or IBM PC/XT/AT
echo and compatible computers. A hard disk MUST be used to install and run the
echo program . MS-DOS(R) versions 2.0 or higher should be used. The recommended
echo minimum memory size is 512 Kbytes. All printed outputs are directed to
echo parallel port LPT1. Printing graphic screens require an Epson compatible
echo printer.

echo COPYING AND DISTRIBUTION
echo ------------------------
echo.
echo AppCAD may be copied and distributed freely as long as no fee
echo is charged. All AppCAD files must be included and not modified.
echo Hewlett-Packard Co., 1990. All rights reserved.

echo INSTALLATION
echo -------------
echo.
echo A hard disk drive is necessary to install and run AppCAD !
echo.
echo AUTOMATIC installation is possible using the INSTALL program :
echo.
echo Insert Disk 1 into any 5 1/4 drive and type:
echo.
echo A:Install (A drive is for this example, AppCAD can
echo be installed from any other drive.)
echo.
echo The program will ask you what hard disk you wish to load AppCAD on.
echo.
echo For example, if C is your hard disk, type in : C (no colon is needed).
echo.
echo The program will automatically be installed onto drive C directory
echo AppCAD (install will create the directory AppCAD for you).
echo.
echo.
pause
cls
echo.
echo.
echo MANUAL installation without using the INSTALL program is possible.
echo The following should be done only if you are experiencing trouble
echo installing the program using the INSTALL program.
echo.
echo 1. On your hard disk create a directory AppCAD using the DOS MKDIR
echo command . Also, create a sub-directory AppCAD\SPARA.
echo.
echo 2. Copy from Disk 1 the files README.BAT and PKUNZIP.EXE into the AppCAD
echo directory using the DOS copy command. From the AppCAD directory type:
echo.
echo PKUNZIP A:\APPCAD1.ZIP C:\APPCAD
echo.
echo Wait until PKUNZIP is finished then insert disk 2 into drive A and type:
echo.
echo PKUNZIP A:\APPCAD2.ZIP C:\APPCAD
echo.
echo Wait until PKUNZIP is finished then insert disk 3 into drive A and type:
echo.
echo PKUNZIP A:\SPARA.ZIP C:\APPCAD\SPARA after PKUNZIP is finished AppCAD
echo is installed.
echo.
echo.
pause
cls
echo.
echo.
echo STARTING THE PROGRAM
echo ---------------------
echo Type AppCAD
echo.
echo This assumes you are already in the AppCAD directory.
echo.
echo.
echo Vectra users can run AppCAD from PAM with the following setup:
echo.
echo Path: C:\AppCAD (Drive C is for this example. Use the drive you
echo loaded AppCAD onto.)
echo.
echo Applic Title: AppCAD
echo.
echo Run Command: AppCAD
echo.
echo.
pause
cls
echo.

echo PROGRAM STATUS AND ERROR MESSAGES
echo ----------------------------------
echo.
echo Watch for messages on the bottom of the screen (the 25th text
echo line). These messages can help guide you through the program
echo by indicating what data the program expects or which keys are
echo active. Error messages such as : " Value out of range " may appear
echo after a calculation. This indicates that a calculated value is
echo too large to display properly in its designated output field, and
echo is an error with displaying the number not a calculation error.
echo.
echo Memory resident programs such as DOS shells, and pop-up calendars
echo or spreadsheets may leave too little room for AppCAD to load or
echo function. An error message "program is too big to fit in memory"
echo may indicate such a problem . In this case, run AppCAD without
echo the resident program(s) installed.
echo.

echo HELP SCREENS
echo ------------
echo On line help screens are available and should be read before using a
echo program module. The help screens contain useful information on each
echo of the program modules.
echo.

echo S-Parameters
echo ------------
echo S-parameters for Hewlett-Packard's RF and Microwave transistors and
echo monolithic amplifiers are included with AppCAD. These files are
echo are in Touchstone text file format and are located in the subdirectory
echo X:\AppCAD\SPARA (X is the drive selected by the user when AppCAD is
echo installed). The s-parameter files can be accessed from both the
echo Transistor Design Data and Two-Port Circuit Analysis modules. Refer
echo to the help screens of these two modules for further details.
echo.
echo The s-parameter files are also located on disk 3 in a non-compressed
echo form .
echo.
echo Some transistor file names are slightly different than their actual
echo part number. As an example:
echo.
echo XTR3615B.S2P corresponds to HXTR3615 and
echo SMX3131A.S2P corresponds to HSMX3131.
echo.
echo This was done to conform to DOS's limit of eight characters for the
echo filename. The letter subscripts are used to denote different bias
echo conditions.
