ltspice options for high precision simulation/data export

Uses backward Euler integration (maxord=1 option), which can be very slow.

Set maximum iteration counts: DC iteration count limit (itl1, default: 100), DC transfer curve iteration count limit (itl2, default: 50), and transient analysis time point iteration count limit (itl4, default: 10) [ltwiki]_.

GPIB interfacing using Agilent 82357B on Ubuntu Linux

I initially had some problems installing on my laptop, so decided to boot Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS, 3.13.0-32-generic from USB and work from there.

For an automated installation script, see gpib_install.sh (and gpib.conf) below. The rest of this document describes the actions of the installation script step-by-step.

First, get the packages that are necessary to support Python bindings:

Manually launch xscreensaver; disable auto-activate
View launch_xscreensaver.sh
#!/bin/bash
# I do not want my screensaver to auto-activate after a timeout.
# For some reason, you *have* to select a nonzero, finite timeout value for xscreensaver (there's no "infinity").
# I only want my screensaver to active when I lock my system by pressing [Meta]+[L].
# This hotkey is set up to launch this script, which
# - starts the xscreensaver daemon,
# - activates the screensaver (with lockscreen enabled),
# - waits for it to terminate (unlocking logs an "UNBLANK" event),
# - then kills the xscreensaver daemon.
