Show 144 C-X M-x and C-X M-X run the routine DefineRegionAsObject which interacts with the user- for offsets from the current cursor position in order· to define a SLATE object. The successful completion of the compilation of a control-unit will result in a text file describing the circuit in either ClF, SIPPLDL, or Computervision EXDB format, as well . as a SLATE representation of the circuit. The processing of each of these different files types is distinct from that required for the. others. Caltech software to plot or fracture them. ASSASSIN does not CIF files currently have meaning only on Utah-20 and should have the file <vlsi.carter)ppl.cif PRE-PENDED to them before using the currently perform this prepending. SIPPLDL files currently have no processing required since no software has been written which reads them. They can be used for debugging ASSASSIN software •. Computervision EXDB files can be sent to Utah-20 from Utah-CS. There a tape can be made using the system program CVX. Instructions on the use of CVX are available on Utah-20 by issuing the command "help CVX". There are no such tape utilities on Utah-CS, so the files created on Utah-CS must be sent to Utah-20 before being taped for transfer to Computervision. Once a CVX tape has been made, it may be transferred to Computervision by using the "LCD EXT DIR" command on Computervision. Note that the predecessor to the directory being read into must point to NMOS6.GRP> or NMOS6.CKT) in order for the PPL program to be |
