Getting Started
---------------

These instructions will get you a copy of the package up and running on your local machine.

**Note: at the moment only ascii raw spice format is supported!**

Installation
------------

From PyPI
^^^^^^^^^

::

    $ pip install spyci  # it is recommended to this in a virtual environment


From the github repo
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

::

    $ pip install git+https://github.com/gmagno/spyci.git


or

::

    $ git clone git@github.com:gmagno/spyci.git
    $ cd spyci/
    $ python setup.py install


Usage
^^^^^

From python run::

    >>> from spyci import spyci
    >>> data = spyci.load_raw("/path/to/rawspice.raw")  # see 'Data structure' section below


Or just use the CLI::

    $ spyci -r /path/to/rawspice.raw vin vout

for more details use::

    $ spyci -h
    usage: spyci [-h] [-v] [-r RAW_FILE] [-l] [-f] [-o OUT_IMAGE] ...

    Spyci (spyci v0.6.1) -- parses ngspice raw data files and
    plots the specified variables.
    For full documentation check the repo: https://github.com/gmagno/spyci

    positional arguments:
      VARS                  List of variables to plot

    optional arguments:
      -h, --help            show this help message and exit
      -v, --version         shows spyci version
      -r RAW_FILE, --raw-file RAW_FILE
                            path to raw file to be parsed
      -l, --list-variables  lists variables that can be plotted
      -f, --out-formats     lists supported output image formats
      -o OUT_IMAGE, --out-image OUT_IMAGE
                            path to output image file, use -f, to list supported
                            formats

                                                     /##
                                                    |__/
              /#######  /######  /##   /##  /####### /##
             /##_____/ /##__  ##| ##  | ## /##_____/| ##
            |  ###### | ##  \ ##| ##  | ##| ##      | ##
             \____  ##| ##  | ##| ##  | ##| ##      | ##
             /#######/| #######/|  #######|  #######| ##
            |_______/ | ##____/  \____  ## \_______/|__/
                      | ##       /##  | ##
                      | ##      |  ######/
                      |__/       \______/

    return:
        The return value of spyci is 0 if the raw file is successfully
        parsed and plotted.

    examples:
        # Run without arguments will attempt to load rawspice.raw from cwd
        # and plot all variables
        $ spyci

        # List variables that can be plotted
        $ spyci -l
        Variables:

        idx  name        type
        -----  ----------  -------
            1  i(l1)       current
            2  n1          voltage
            3  vi          voltage
            4  vo          voltage
            5  i(vsource)  current

        # Load 'some/location/sim.raw' and plot variables 'i(l1)' and 'vo'
        $ spyci -r some/location/sim.raw "i(l1)" vo

        # Indices can be used insted of variable names, this is equivalent
        # to the previous example
        $ spyci -r some/location/sim.raw 1 4

        # Save your plot to the file system
        $ spyci -o myplot.png 1 4

        # Different image formats are supported, just use the correct
        # extension, {.png, .svg, .pdf, ...}. For a list of supported
        # formats run with -f flag
        $ spyci -f
        Supported output image file formats:

        ext    format
        -----  -------------------------
        raw    Raw RGBA bitmap
        rgba   Raw RGBA bitmap

Data structure
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A properly parsed raw spice file by `load_raw()` returns a dictionary with the following structure::

    {
        "title": <str>,
        "date:": <str>,
        "plotname:": <str>,
        "flags:": <str>,
        "no_vars:": <str>,
        "no_points:": <str>,
        "vars": [
            { "idx": <int>, "name": <str>, "type": <str> },
            { "idx": <int>, "name": <str>, "type": <str> }
            ...
            { "idx": <int>, "name": <str>, "type": <str> }
        ]
        "values": {
            "var1": <numpy.ndarray>,
            "var2": <numpy.ndarray>,
            ...
            "varN": <numpy.ndarray>
        }
    }


Where values `values` is a numpy structured array with the actual data.

Examples
^^^^^^^^

The following examples make use of ngspice to run the spice simulations, so please ensure it is installed.
On ubuntu that would be::

    $ sudo apt install ngspice


Inverting amplifier with an opamp LM741
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Check the directory `examples/amplifier/` for details on the cirtcuit and the simulation files.

The schematic:

.. image:: examples/amplifier/schematic.svg
    :width: 630px
    :align: center
    :height: 332px
    :alt: amplifier

Run the simulation with::

    $ cd examples/amplifier
    $ ngspice -r rawspice.raw -o output.log main.cir
    $ spyci vout vin


which will fire ngspice generating output.log and rawspice.raw files and also plots the voltages `vin` and `vout`.

Second order low pass filter with an opamp LM741
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Check the directory `examples/lp_filter/` for details on the cirtcuit and the simulation files.

The schematic:

.. image:: examples/lp_filter/schematic.svg
    :width: 636px
    :align: center
    :height: 431px
    :alt: lp_filter

Run the simulation with::

    $ cd examples/lp_filter
    $ ngspice -r rawspice.raw -o output.log main.cir
    $ spyci vout vin


which will fire ngspice generating output.log and rawspice.raw files and also plots the gain `vout`/`vin` in dB.
