LISO and Eagle on 40m machines

LISO is a circuit simulation and optimization program written by Gerhard Heinzel. It is useful for predicting the behavior of a circuit, estimating the noise, analyzing the stability of op-amps, fitting the measurement with the model, optimizing resistance/capacitance values etc. LISO is installed in /cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux/LISO/. The LISO maual is here.

`liso` command

The main command of LISO is fil. It expects you to run the command always in the LISO installation directory. Since it is inconvenient, I wrote a wrapper script called liso. It is in the command search path of controls account. The script works just like fil except that you can call it from anywhere. The script takes the same arguments/options as fil. What it does is to convert given paths to absolute paths (if necessary) and change directory to /cvs/cds/caltech/apps/linux/LISO/. Then it runs fil passing the arguments given to liso.

Eagle PCB CAD

Eagle is a electric circuit schematic and PCB layout editor (http://www.cadsoft.de/).
