Translating IC-CAP Data Using iccap2citi

IC-CAP data files can be translated into HP CITIfile format using the program iccap2citi in the UNIX operating system environment. This is often convenient when many files are to be translated.

The program is located in:

$MDSROOT/hp85150/bin/iccap2citi

IC-CAP includes the most current version of the iccap2citi program in:

$ICCAP_ROOT/bin/iccap2citi

This version should be copied to the MDS directory, or be referenced via the MDS aliasing mechanism as described in the MDS documentation.

 .iccap2citi
usage: iccap2citi [-msx] [file1] [file2]
or: iccap2citi [-ivmsx] file1 file2 
-p output model parameters only 
-l output model parameters only, in lib format 
-m skip MEAS data 
-s skip SIMU data 
-x skip XFORM data
-i interactively select data 
-v print names of all packages translated

On the command line, file1 is the file to be translated (the input file), and file2 is the file that results (the output file). These names are optional, however.

If no name is specified for the output file file2, the output goes to standard out. If neither an input file name file1 nor an output file name file2 is specified, the input is taken from standard in and the output is sent to standard out.

The file that results is in HP CITIfile format, and can be read into a dataset in MDS using the menu command PERFORM > READ > CITIFILE on the index page in the dataset.
