===================================================================== The software and the documentation included in this distribution are for your personal use and evaluation only. ===================================================================== This disk contains Windows 95 evaluation version of the Power Electronics Transient Simulator (PETS), version 01/98 developed by Predrag Pejovic and Dragan Maksimovic at the University of Colorado in Boulder. The program is a Windows 95 console application that runs from a DOS prompt. This program will not run under plain DOS or Windows 3.1 operating systems. A plain DOS version can be obtained by contacting the authors. Files included on the disk are: PETS.EXE - the simulation program MAN.DOC - manual (MS Word for Windows 7.0) EX*.DOC - examples (MS Word for Windows 7.0) *.CIR - input files for the examples read.me - this file ===================================================================== To run the program, copy pets.exe to a directory located in your PATH statement. If PSpice is installed, it is convenient to simply add pets.exe to the PSpice directory. Copy example files to a working directory. To start the program, run pets file-name PETS creates: file-name.OUT (job statistics, error and warning messages) file-name.DAT (output data file, readable by Probe) The results can be viewed, manipulated or printed using the post-processor Probe from the PSpice package by MicroSim. The following evaluation (free) versions of PSpice have been tested: 5.x and 6.0 (DOS), 6.1, 6.2 (Windows 3.1) and 7.1, 8.0 (Windows 95). The .dat output created by PETS could not be read by the Probe from Windows 3.1 PSpice version 6.3. The user is assumed to have general knowledge of Spice, power electronics, and piecewise-linear modeling. ===================================================================== PETS software is in early stages of development and it is quite possible that you may find bugs or other problems that we are not aware off. Your feedback (including a short description of the problem(s) encountered and a copy of the .cir file where the problem occurs) would be much appreciated. Any other comments you may have would also be very welcome.
