N IF Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility Welcome to the SPICE Tutorials April 2023
N IF Objectives Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility Provide an overview of the entire SPICE system Provide a sense of the purpose and uses of SPICE Provide an introduction to the primary SPICE components Provide examples of how to use SPICE software and data files Provide some insight into conventions and common problems Provide substantive programming examples Provide a peek at new capabilities being worked on or considered Familiarize you with available SPICE resources Going through these extensive tutorials and the associated programming lessons will not be enough to make you well versed in SPICE it s just a significant start towards that goal. 2 Welcome to tutorials
N IF Tutorials Scope Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility Broad coverage Begins at a high level, but quickly drills down to details Touches on many SPICE-related topics that could be of interest to science and engineering teams Depth of discussion varies somewhat amongst topics Provide information for FORTRAN, C, IDL and MATLAB programmers Does not cover Java Native Interface (JNISpice), or the Python (e.g. SpiceyPy), Ruby, Swift and other 3rd party offerings. Some tutorials have important material provided in a Backup section: you should read those charts too! Some topics are addressed rather little or not at all Kernel production Archiving SPICE data 3 Welcome to tutorials
N IF Repeated Material Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility Some topics will be repeated in two or more tutorials We re not trying to bore you, but we don t wish to assume people will read all of the tutorials at the same time we think some items are sufficiently important to mention them more than once 4 Welcome to tutorials
N IF Your SPICE Odyssey Begins Here Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility but it does take a modest amount of effort to learn enough about SPICE to begin to use its features with good success. It helps to have some math skills, some innate sense of spatial orientation, and some familiarity with your computer s operating system, a code editor, and a compiler or Integrated Development Environment (IDE). 5 Welcome to tutorials
N IF SPICE Seems Large Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility The generic SPICE Toolkit contains: several hundred public APIs ( modules or subroutines ) about 17 utility and application executables about 26 subsystem technical reference documents and more Don t let this size bother you just work your way into it bit by bit Most customers use only a handful of these APIs Hundreds of others just like you are using SPICE today 6 Welcome to tutorials
