It was fun reading it. I was impressed how much is actually possible with the current Qucs digital simulation feature. A few notes: 1) If written in LaTeX, can you send me the sources, so I can incorporate the tutorial into the WorkBook. 2) The pictures look like screenshots. Propably you can improve the quality of them by the "print to file" (eps) feature? With the eps one can convert it to pdf and include it for use with pdflatex... 3) Would it be possible to add a small section (probably a simple example) demonstrating the use of the truthtable simulation? Thanks a very lot, Stefan. |

Your're right. Printing to a file creates a ps. Then you can use e.g. ps2eps or something likely, then a epstopdf tool... > I will try to see if I can improve the quality of the images. > > In answer to your request for a section on the Qucs truth table > features.
