Follow the steps in this file to run a sample Hspice program
and view the results with CosmosScope.
-------------DSS 9/25/04------------------------------------

1) change shell to tcsh

   -> /bin/tcsh


2) add the following lines to your .cshrc.more file:

   -> source /opt/setup_ic50.csh
   -> set path = ($SYNOPSYS/ai_bin $path)

3) make sample spice directory

   - >mkdir /spice/sample/

4) copy "sample.cir" and "sample.sp" to the new directory

   - sample.cir contains the HSPICE netlist for the simulation of 
     an inverting amplifier with a gain of -2

   - sample.sp chooses what analysis options HSPICE will run

5) run:
   > hspice sample.sp -mt -o

6) your simulation will run and report completion
 
  > if it reports ">info:         ***** hspice job aborted"
     check sample.lis and search for error statements
     then correct the errors in your .cir or.sp files
  
  > if it reports ">info:         ***** hspice job concluded"
     continue!

7) run:
   > cscope &

8)  when CosmosScope is finished opening, click:
    -> file
       -> open
	  -> plotfiles

9) choose sample.tr0 (a transient simulation plotfile)
   and double click on the signals of interest to display

10) choose sample.ac0 (a frequency simulation plotfile)
   and double click on the signals of interest to display
