Installed Files¶
The Qucs system needs several programs. These are installed during the
installation process. The path of Qucs is determined during the
installation (configure
script). The following explanations assume
the default path (/usr/local/
).
/usr/local/bin/qucs
- the GUI/usr/local/bin/qucsator
- the simulator (console application)/usr/local/bin/qucsedit
- a simple text editor/usr/local/bin/qucshelp
- a small program displaying the help system/usr/local/bin/qucstrans
- a program for calculation transmission line parameters/usr/local/bin/qucsfilter
- a program synthesizing filter circuits/usr/local/bin/qucsconv
- a file format converter (console application)
All programs are stand-alone applications and can be started independently. The main program (GUI)
- calls
qucsator
when performing a simulation, - calls
qucsedit
when showing text files, - calls
qucshelp
when showing the help system, - calls
qucstrans
when calling this program from menu “Tools”, - calls
qucsfilter
when calling this program from menu “Tools”, - calls
qucsconv
when placing the SPICE component and when performing a simulation with the SPICE component.
Furthermore, the following directories are created during installation:
/usr/local/share/qucs/bitmaps
- contains all bitmaps (icons etc.)/usr/local/share/qucs/docs
- contains HTML documents for the help system/usr/local/share/qucs/lang
- contains the translation files
