SPICELINE V1.30 DEMO_E.TXT February 1993
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

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.
