Introduction

The Main Menu is your starting point. You may choose from SmithMatch, or various utilities.

By choosing "1" from the Main Menu, you enter the SmithMatch Module. From here you may analyze or synthesize lumped and/or distributed element impedance match networks, using a detailed on-screen Smith Chart.

The File Utility lets you create load impedance files, (we call them .IMP files). You can also edit or deleate existing files.

The SmithPlot Utility creates a detailed Smith Chart on your graphics screen. A small range of adjustment is provided to maximize circularity. In most cases, you'll find that the default value of AR, the screen aspect ratio, works well.

The Screen Utility helps you determine how well your monitor displays a true circle.

The Startup Utility allows Users to select from a variety of graphics cards. Windows Users should select the 'Windows' display mode (Option 6), for best results. 800 X 600 to 1024 X 768 display settings will work best.

The System File keeps track of program usage, and sets a pointer corresponding to whether or not there is a system clock.

You may exit the program by simply choosing "7" from the Main Menu.

Note that all menu choices are made via "hot keys." When you are at "Choose (1-7) ? _," and type a number from 1 thru 7, you will immediately go to the page selected; it is not necessary to press <Enter>.
