linSmith FOR LINUX
linSmith is an open source software project designed to function as a Smith charting program, emphasizing the 'showing the effect of'-style of operation. With various features tailored for educational purposes, linSmith provides a comprehensive tool for users to experiment with different load impedances, components, and connection types.
Key Features:
- Definitions for multiple load impedances
- Addition of discrete and line components
- Ability to experiment with component values using scrollbars
- Serial or parallel connection support
- Real impedances for charts
Users can visualize results on the screen and effortlessly generate high-quality Postscript output for publishing. The software stores circuit and load configurations separately, allowing for multiple solutions without the need for redefinition.
Written in C programming language, linSmith's graphical user interface utilizes the GTK+ GUI toolkit for cross-platform compatibility. Postscript output is generated using the gnome-print library.
Compatibility:
- Downloadable as a source archive
- Installable on any GNU/Linux operating system
- Support for binary archives on 64-bit Slackware Linux distributions
With linSmith, users can conveniently generate Postscript output, input discrete components or transmission lines, view results in real-time, and produce output efficiently on their Linux desktop.
