    TOOL NAME:  HILO3
 

    FUNCTION: logic and timing simulation

    OPERATING ENVIRONMENT: HILO3 runs on VAX under VMS.  It also runs on 
                           uVAX's.  However, for large circuit simulation,
			   8800 with a sizable memory and disk storage
			   configuration is the appropriate hardware.

    GENERAL DESCRIPTION:  Simulate the functions and timings of the module
			  under development to verify the correctness of the
			  design.

    INPUT FILES:   Model library files.
		   Module netlist in HILO format.
		   Waveform files for testing the circuit.
		   Simulation control file.
              
    OUTPUT FILES:  Simulation display file for examining simulation output.
	           Date Capture file, input for DISPRO to examine simulation
		   outputs.

    INTERFACES:  None.


    STATUS: Verson 3.1J installed on NACAD.

    TOOL NAME:  DISPRO
 

    FUNCTION: EXAMINE SIMULATION OUTPUTS

    
    OPERATING ENVIRONMENT: VAX or uVAX under VMS.


    GENERAL DESCRIPTION:  Dispro provides logic analyzer type features
			  to examine simulation outputs.  It allows
	                  designers to pick sets of signal and time
			  frame to analyze simulation results after
			  each simulation run.

    INPUT FILES:   Data capture file.  File name is defined by users.
              
    OUTPUT FILES:  Output goes to screen.
		   Optionally output to a file.  File name is defined by
		   users.

    INTERFACES:  None.

    STATUS: Verson 3.1J installed on NACAD, comes with HILO3.

    TOOL NAME:  JEDECHILO
 

    FUNCTION: PAL SIMULATION MODEL GENERATOR

    OPERATING ENVIRONMENT: VAX and uVAX.

    GENERAL DESCRIPTION:  JEDECHILO generates simulation model for PAL's
			  from the JEDEC standard fuse pattern file.  A
			  behavioral model with detailed timing is 
			  generated.


    INPUT FILES:   JEDEC fuse pattern file.  This file comes from PAL
   		   assemblers.

              
    OUTPUT FILES:  Model circuit file, .CCT.


    INTERFACES:  None.
