Re: [time-nuts] Now is the time for all good dogs
When I worked for Agilent, I had full access for "free" to all these tools, and access to their designers, etc. Nevertheless, the time commitment to learn these tools is prohibitive to any engineer who is responsible for designing the complete product, not just designing a chip. I mainly only ever used ADS, which is a nice improvement over LTSpice. I never did understand what X parameters were good for, despite hearing in house talks by its inventor. The Keysight management has a desperate (IMHO) business plan to reposition itself as a software company since the bottom end of the hardware business has been taken over by cheap offshore instruments. I guess this is the latest salvo in the war to defeat NI (good luck). Speaking of what LTSpice cannot do: I don't care about harmonic balance, etc, I just wish it it had better data plotting capability. An especially egregious "feature" is the automatic autoscaling. Yes, you can use a workaround where you get the scaling you want, and then save it, and then recall it again EVERY TIME you do a run. I really miss ADS in this respect. Rather than a free 3 month license, I would rather rent the software BY THE HOUR not by the calendar. I might be happy to pay $50 an hour once in a while for an intense ADS session that would increase my productivity enough to be worth it. But I wouldn't use ADS often enough to justify a calendar subscription service, unless it was like a few hundred dollars a year.
