This file details the changes in version 2.1 from version 2.0.
All the features of version 2.0 have been kept in version 2.1.
Changes were made in the input file syntax. The following features
were added to minimize syntax errors resulting from typos:
1. The input file is now case insensitive. For example, the
previous voltage command was:
voltage Vmin[V]=0.0, Vmax[V]=3.0, Vstep[V]=0.1
Now this can also be written in any of the following ways:
VOLTAGE VMIN[V]=0.0, VMAX[V]=3.0, VSTEP[V]=0.1 $ All upper case
voltage vmin[v]=0.0, vmax[v]=3.0, vstep[v]=0.1 $ All lower case
voLTAge vmin[v]=0.0, vMAX[v]=3.0, VSTEP[V]=0.1 $ Mixed case
voltage Vmin[V]=0.0, Vmax[V]=3.0, Vstep[V]=0.1 $ Old format is
$ ..also supported
2. The units attached to the parameters may now be omitted.
For example, the following:
voltage Vmin[V]=0.0, Vmax[V]=3.0, Vstep[V]=0.1 $ Old format
May now be simply:
voltage Vmin=0.0, Vmax=3.0, Vstep=0.1 $ All the units are omitted
voltage vmin[v]=0.0, vmax=3.0, vstep[v]=0.1 $ Mixed
voltage Vmin[V]=0.0, Vmax[V]=3.0, Vstep[V]=0.1 $ Old format still works
Also, in the output, the following features have been added:
1. In the output file, the version number is printed, so the user
knows which version was used.
2. A new file, 2Files.dat, is generated which contains description
about all the files that are generated by Schred 2.1.
