XSpice Engine

Overview of the Windows XSpice.exe Spice engine:

This is a very basic gui featured Windows port. Its main intent is to provide a raw simulation engine for the SuperSpice GUI. This port provides no Graphic support. You may load/write/edit file_name.cir files, run the engine and display the spice output, within the application in text form only.

It is usually run in batch mode via the windows command line:

-r output_file_name.out -b input_filename.cir

or by an application spawning it as a task as in WinExec("command line")

Note: if the additional option "-d" is prefixed to the command line, the engine will display its busy by displaying sampled simulation data.

Automatic multiple runs can be achieved by using a "ReRun" file. Multiple standard spice output files will be generated when a ReRun file is used. The netlist syntax is:

.rerun filename.rrn

No quotes are required for file names with spaces in them.
