Hi Alex, I don't have any ideas really. I just know there are some commercial products I won't use if they are given to me... one was and I'm returning it. The basic o'scope control panel works pretty well actually. I'm not crazy about emulating round knobs, but the controls do what the us

Hmmm. Tricky things zener, schottky and soft recovery diode models ... Try a different vendors model (check to see if it is actually a different model)? You could try using a V (voltage) source in series with an ordinary diode plus a second diode in anti-parallel with the series V and diode. Th

My 2 cents. I use to convert pdf files to svg through Makefiles. I don't remember the app I use for it offhand but can look if anyone is interested (it's all free software, other than inkscape). I also usually produce schematics in pdf with logos, barcodes, and vital data (date, project, etc). I

Does anybody have a nice and simple zener diode model they would like to share? The model that I am using has trouble with convergence in context of a complicated switching circuit with ngspice. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http:/
