I was wondering if someone could please post sources to obtain digital communication systems simulation software. Thank you, Robert Morelos-Zaragoza | Department of Electrical Engineering | University of Hawaii | robert@wiliki.eng.hawaii.edu 2540 Dole Street #483 | Honolulu, HI 96822 |

Sorry, this isn't a list of sources...but the query got me to thinking. Is anyone aware of any block oriented (object oriented, if you prefer) simulation systems available for the MS-DOS platform? In particular, I have worked with simulators such as BOSS (Block Oriented Simulation System, contains large library of communications stuff: modulators, coding schemes, multiplexers, analog techniques, math, etc. Runs on VMS), SYSTID (Another similar program, a bit older, developed by Hughes Aircraft if memory serves), and LabView (from National Instruments, running on a Mac II). These are all very nicely put together packages, and are helpful for small scale simulations, as well as visualization, proving to your advisor that your project *is* going to work, etc. I would be very interested to hear about any such packages for the PC. I'm not strictly talking about graphically oriented software (although BOSS and LabView are), but the graphics usually add to the functionality. All of the packages mentioned above also had the capability of writing your own fundamental blocks (ie: not blocks built from blocks) in some sort of code (for BOSS and SYSTID it was FORTRAN, for LabView I think it had to be some sort of MS-DOS object code from any compiler). Anyone using something like this? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frederick True true@elbereth.rutgers.edu ftrue@attmail.att.com "In peace sons bury their fathers, but in war fathers bury their sons." -Croesus -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
