- Spiceline
- ---------
-
- Spiceline has been designed for reading and processing the data-files
- produced by Spice(*).
-
- All data-rows included in the lists can be selected individually. These
- selected data can be combined to a complete diagram in which the
- individual data-curves can be put either in one big diagram or in several
- smaller diagrams each one below another.
-
- Of course there's a zoom you can control either by hand or by mouse. Most
- of the elements of the diagram can by aktivated/deactivated and/or varied
- in their size in steps of 1/1000 inch.
-
- When ever you're satisfied with the diagram you see on your screen, you
- can save it as an IMG-graphics-file in a freely choosable size as well as
- freely choosable resolution. This will give you full control over the
- diagrams quality.
-
- Spiceline has been programmed for all of you who want to work with SPICE
- but don't want to draw the diagrams out of the data-lists by hand.
- I think, this means most of you!
- Spiceline will offer great help for professionell Users as well as for
- people who work with SPICE just for fun or for improving their knowledge.
-
- The simple usage of Spiceline will guarantee even newcomers in SPICE to get
- best and fastest results out of their simulations. Of cours Spiceline is a
- complete GEM-apllication which means that it works on every TOS-version
- (probably also all coming version) and is _really_ easy to use.
-
- Of course working with Spiceline does not afford any special Hardware.
- It runs:
-
- - on an old 520ST as well as on a TT030 or even a FALCON030
- - from floppy-disk or hard-disk
- - on all screens that have at least 640x400 dots in monochrome or color
- and on every graphic-card
-
- The programming has been done in a memory-saving manner. It takes only that
- part of the RAM, that it really needs. If your ATARI is a TT030 and does
- have FAST-RAM, then Spiceline will prefer this type of memory.
-
- This behaviour and the window-handling are the best steps towards working
- with MultiTOS or MultiGEM. Even on a singletask-TOS you can work on several
- diagrams at the same time. Inside Spiceline you can work on as many windows
- as the system will offer you (in combination with WINX it could be up to 40
- windows) and each window can contain a diagram.
-
- Spiceline can process the following data-lists:
-
- - DC-analysis
- - AC-small-signal-analysis
- - transient analysis
- - Fourier analysis
-
- Finally, you can use Spiceline as a SPICE-shell. This means you can call
- SPICE out of Spiceline for simulating a circuit-description and then turn
- back to Spiceline, where you process the data-lists, without having to
- leave and reenter Spiceline manually.
-
-
- (*) Spice
- ---------
- SPICE is a circuit simulation program for different types of analysis.
- This means nonlinear dc, nonlinear transient, linear ac analyses and
- fourier analysis. Spice simulates with very high reliability and precision.
- It was developed at the University of California, Berkeley, Ca.
- and during the last last years, it was transferred to the computers of the
- ATARI-ST-family.
- It's only disadvantage is the fact, that it only creates lists of the
- calculated results - the data-lists.
- For any kind of useful analysis or documentation of these tables you have
- to build diagrams out of the data and this was the reason for the
- programming of Spiceline.
-
-
- Demoversion
- -----------
- The demoversion has no limitations within its functions compared to the
- full version except that it can't read the output-files of SPICE.
- For this reason, we have included some files with the ending 'SPL', which
- are already processed data-files, we have saved in the Spiceline-format.
- These files you can load into Spiceline and process into diagrams however
- you wish to do. The INFILES and OUTFILES are included in te LZH-archive
- 'SOURCES.LZH' that can be extracted if you want.
-
- This demo-package can be forwarded as long as all files are included.
- The files of the demo-package are:
-
- SPICLN_E.APP
- SPICLN_E.RSC
- DEMO_E.TXT
- BEGR.SPL
- FOURAN.SPL
- NETZTEIL.SPL
- PEEKPULS.SPL
- SOURCES.LZH including

- Since we don't know how many people from outside Germany want to have
- Spiceline, we don't have an english manual. At this moment there are two
- possible versions of Spiceline:
- o german program / german manual
- o english program / german manual
-
- If you are ordering to an adress outside of Germany we have to insist on
- advance payment.
