Technical details of the TARGET 3001! simulation

General



  • Graphical user interface!
  • Intuitive use!
  • Input requirements reduced!
  • Visual help in dialogues!

The Sim.Exe is the simulation-engine (backend)! Frontend is TARGET 3001!, wich controls the Sim.Exe. The simulation in the TARGET-versions only differ regarding the number of signals. A signal can contain a multitude of nodes.




Characteristics

  • Intuitive GUI: No "Spice blocks " anymore
  • Assisting dialogs with graphical explanations (please download the TARGET 3001! HTML Help here)
  • Easy model import, model browser expanded (syntax-check)
  • Subcircuit Generator expanded
  • Level ("Simulation group") redefined - generalized
  • Primitives of the simulator entirely available in libraries, virtual components too
  • Component import (including model) now in tree view
  • PWL-Editor
  • Interactive elements self definable:
    • Individual virtual instruments can be generated
    • Text as value display
    • Filled objects as illuminated elements
    • Rectangles as oscilloscopes
    • MOSFETs: Parameters L and W implemented to model card (PSPICE-Syntax), so MOSFet-Models from manufacturers (Internet, i. A. PSPICE-Syntax) can be imported.


Features:

  • SPICE3F5 and PSPICE compatibel
  • Graphical input of circuit - schematic simulation
  • Schematic with interactive symbols
  • Mixed Mode Simulation (analog + digital)
  • Analysis: DC sweep, AC sweep and transient
  • Automatic timestep control in transient-analysis
  • Event driven digital simulator
  • Delay, Setup, Hold,... Time for digital primitives
  • Postprocessor (oscilloscope) for view and analysis
  • PWL-Editor- graphical input of PieceWise Linear waveform
  • Modelbrowser- import of manufacturer models
  • Graphical subcircuit generator
