This is a pre-release version of my little tool called <<< Trace Analyzer >>> There are still a few things I need to do before the release of version 1.0: (1) A formal license agreement. For now, you are assumed to agree that you are responsible for any unintended adverse effects of using this tool - computer hung or crash, incorrect results, or even loss of data; (2) A user's guide. Due to the fact that the application version of the Trace Analyzer is derived from the same core algorithm and code, you may refer to the following URL to learn how to use this tool: GUI: http://www.eecircle.com/applets/TraceAnalyzerApplet/gui.html File formats: http://www.eecircle.com/applets/TraceAnalyzerApplet/TraceAnalyzerApplet.html#Stackup The major differences between the application version and the applet version are the report of RLGC parameter besides impedance, and the file I/O capability; (3) Obvious bugs incurred by regular user that I didn't find. You are strongly encouraged to sign on the Yahoo discussion group dedicated to this tool by sending an e-mail to "traceanalyzer-subscribe@yahoogroups.com". Thanks, Hao Shi
