Many thanks Stefan!

I often want to write scripts that just create netlists of various circuits. I can easily execute the following on the terminal command line to do this: xschem -q -x -n -s -N test.deck test.sch All is fine as long as there were no errors found during the netlisting process. If any errors/warnings were found then these errors are printed to stderr. If I want to capture these errors then I do the following: xschem -q -x -n -s -N test.deck test.sch 2>test.err This is easy enough as long as I do this...

No additional functions were needed to be added/created to Curry for this circuit. However, I did add code to the specific design file for the function generator for: code to apportion the 10K ohm Frequency Adjust potentiometer to resistors RF2 and RF3 to model rotating the shaft of the pot. code to perform frequency calibration by finding the correct values of RF1 and RF4

Its been suggested to me to provide a demo of my Curry program for designing a non-trivial circuit so here it is! I hope it sheds more light on what the program can do.

I'd prefer to find a name consisting of 5 or fewer letters simply to save typing but I like your suggestion because I love Indian food and vindaloo would really hit the spot right now. I booted up my only Windows 7 PC to see if I would have any problem playing the video. Sure enough, the Microsoft media player said that it could not play the file. I next tried playing the video using VLC, a free media player application that can be downloaded and installed on both linux and windows machines, and...

Thanks for the positive feedback -- I greatly appreciate it and I would be happy to create more videos. I too discovered that other software has been called 'curry' so I will need to eventually change its name. I just haven't gotten around to do it yet. curry has two routines for rounding. One routine can round to a user supplied number of significant digits while the other can round to industry 1%, 2%, 5%,10%, and 20% standard values. I haven't installed the sky130 pdk yet but I can certainly present...

Its time for a Show-n-Tell demonstrating the result of tightly integrating Xschem into a tool that I have created. If you find it interesting please let me know. Thanks!

George, after doing a google search for 'gnuplot smith chart support' I got quite a few hits. It appears that the free (and high quality) application may well support what you are asking for.
