Installation Guide & Quick Start¶
Installation¶
The project is packed and distributed using python’s setuptools. You can either clone the project from my Github Repo page or direct download the compressed file here (Not always up to data). Unzip it, then run:
python setup.py install
The package should be installed to correct position and be available in your python environment. (you may need super-user privilege for installation).
Run the Program¶
This project came with two scripts in stock. You can use these two scripts as command line programs. The first script, called pyspice is used to run the simulator and generate output, the syntax is:
pyspice [-h/--help] [-p/--print] [-o/--output filename] netlist
the two options, if -p or –print is specified, the result will be plot immediately after the output text file is generated. If the -o or –output flag is on and an valid output file name is given. The analysis result will be written into that file. Otherwise, out.ls is used as the default name. The -h option will give you a brief usage introduction.
The other script called result_viewer is used to plot waveform from the analysis result. It simply equals runing the previous script without -p option and then call this script to plot the waveform.
