[Help-gnucap] bm_pulse is still buggy

[a r]

Hi Al,

bm_pulse still generates a distorted waveform. On 3/12/2007 I've
posted a corrected version of the tr_eval function that does not
suffer from this problem. To be honest, it's a bit disappointing - I
understand you may have a problem testing all the stuff by yourself
but, please, at least listen to users and fix some obvious bugs
(especially when you are given a working solution).

The following test case exposes the problem (note the waveform should
have a 50% duty cycle). It would probably be a good idea to have an
automatic regression test suite.

==================
* pulse test

v1 1 0 pulse (0 1 2.5n 0.01n 0.01n 1.48n 3n)

.option acct showall

.option method=euler dtmin=1e-16 abstol=1e-13 vntol=1e-7 chgtol=1e-15
reltol=1e-4 itl3=3 itl4=10 trstepgrow=1.5 trtol=0.1

.probe tran v(nodes)

.dc
.tran 1n 20n trace alltime >pulse_test.out

.end
==================

BTW, I noticed there are two modeling functions now: tr_eval and
tr_review. As far as I can see the former is used for generating
waveform values and the latter for time events. Is this right?

Regards,
