💖 QucsVeri 💖

okay bestie so this is the manual page for QucsVeri — a wrapper script for digital simulations — and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 1am, because honestly that's the energy it deserves 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

QucsVeri — a wrapper script for digital simulations. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

qucsveri [OPTION] infile outfile time dir bindir

like, that's the shape of the command. five positional things plus options. she's not complicated, she just has needs ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So. Qucs is an integrated circuit simulator, which basically means you get to set up a circuit with a graphical user interface (GUI) and then simulate the large-signal, small-signal and noise behaviour of that circuit. iconic. and after the simulation finishes, you can go look at the results on a presentation page or in a window. main character results-viewing experience fr fr 💖

The software aims to support all kinds of circuit simulation types, e.g. DC, AC, S-parameter, harmonic balance analysis, noise analysis, etc. like she really said "all of them, no cap" 👑

Now QucsVeri specifically? She's a wrapper script for digital simulations performed by Qucs. What she does is use the Icarus Verilog compiler to convert the Verilog output of Qucs into an iverilog program. That file then gets executed using vvp, and its VCD output file gets converted into a Qucs dataset. the pipeline is giving ✨pipeline✨ honestly 🧚

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • INFILE — the filename of the Verilog file to be simulated, and she lives in the directory you specified in DIR. yeah, she's a directory girlie 💜
  • OUTFILE — the filename of the Qucs dataset file to be produced. this is the glow-up output file 🌈
  • TIME — duration of the digital simulation. how long are we vibing for, bestie ⏳
  • DIR — the name of the directory where the simulation is going to be performed. the location. the venue. the spot 🎀
  • BINDIR — the location where the qucsconv program is installed. gotta know where your tools are at 🔥

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

The latest version of Qucs can always be obtained from https://sf.net/p/qucs — go get her, she's right there 🫶

💀 REPORTING BUGS 💀

Known bugs are documented within the BUGS file. (yes, there's a whole file. they're organized about it.) Report bugs to qucs-bugs@lists.sourceforge.net 📧

ngl if you find a bug, tell them! they wanna know! it's not a snitch situation, it's a fix-the-thing situation 💅
