man xsil2graphics (1): generate scripts to load xsil output data files

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Utility program bundled with xmds, used to generate scripts that load simulation output data into either matlab (http://www.mathworks.com) or scilab (http://www.scilab.org), which are then used to manipulate the results further if necessary and then to present the results graphically.

Matlab

To generate a matlab m-file, from the xsil file data_file.xsil use the command:

bash$ xsil2graphics data_file.xsil

bash$ xsil2graphics --matlab data_file.xsil

Then at the matlab command prompt:

>> data_file

Scilab

To generate a scilab script file, from the xsil file data_file.xsil use the command:

bash$ xsil2graphics --scilab data_file.xsil

Then at the scilab command prompt:

--> exec('data_file.sci')

OPTIONS

-m, --matlab generate matlab m-file script to load data from the xsil data file (the default option)

-s, -scilab generate scilab script file to load data from the xsil data file

-o, --outfile <out_file> specify an alternative output script filename to the default which is the input xsil filename with the .xsil extension changed to either .m for the matlab m-file or .sci for the scilab script file

EXAMPLES

bash$ xsil2graphics nlse.xsil

Generates the output nlse.m to load the data into matlab

bash$ xsil2graphics -m nlse.xsil

Also generates the output nlse.m but explicitly sets matlab to be the output format

bash$ xsil2graphics --scilab nlse.xsil

Generates the output nlse.sci to load the data into scilab

bash$ xsil2graphics --outfile nlse_new.m nlse.xsil

Generates the output nlse_new.m to load the data into matlab
