Antenna Scatterers Analysis Program Executables

Compiled Executables (for IBM PC and Compatibles using Dos or Windows)

Compiled versions for MS WINDOWS are available here should run on any IBM PC or 100% compatible subject to the minimum memory and performance requirements. These executables have been checked on

• a DELL PC running Windows XP (both sp1 and sp2)
• a DELL Running Windows 98 SE
• a Gateway '386 computer running Windows 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode with WIN32S

*** Be sure to check the instructions below on how to run these executables. ***

Note: The executable code does not contain the information about how to set up the input file for the program. You will also need to look at (and save) the User's Manual , the quick reference for the user's guide, and (possibly) a few Examples

Note that the whole text portion of the ASAP website including Users Manual, System Manual and other items (except for the executables and source) code is now available in one zip file here (~ 600 k bytes). When it is unzipped keep the directory structure the same for the links to work. The executables and source code should be downloaded separately from this page and the source code page.

Double Precision Executables (zipped) Compiled for:

All of the double precision versions in one file (more than listed here including in between numbers of segments.):

• asap3_2d.zip 2489604 bytes (note that the file named asap3_2d_1k5.exe is compiled for 1500 segments)

Note that the file name indicates the number of segments by the last number with k indicating x 1000. Whether a given version will run on your machine will depend on memory available. You may have to experiment to see which is the largest version that will run on your computer. You don't have to choose one that is just the right size; run a version that works on your machine that is larger than the problem you are trying to solve.

Instructions for Running Executables Compiled with Open Watcom FORTRAN/77 version 1.2 for WIN32 (NT/XP/Win95/Win32s)

To use the programs compiled with Open Watcom FORTRAN/77 version 1.2 for WIN32 (NT/XP/Win95/Win32s) place the plain ASCII file of ASAP input data in same directory as the ASAP Windows executable.

• the input file must be renamed     in.txt     before running ASAP and

• the program when run will produce a file named     out.txt     in the same directory

Start the program by choosing FILE - RUN from the Program Manager or by double clicking on the name of the program from the directory view containing the program from "FILE MANAGER". Once the program starts, a window that looks like a command shell (DOS prompt) type window will open on the screen while the program is running. If the program analysis is short it may only momentarily flash on the screen. There is no other indication that the program is running until the window closes and the out.txt file appears in the directory with the other files. There is no user interaction with the window that opens on the screen.

* Due to my experience with PC based compilers over the years, I must warn that there may be bugs in the executables that are not actually in the source code. However, I have not yet encountered any problems with the above files for ASAP version 3.2 which I compiled using with Open Watcom FORTRAN/77 version 1.2 for target WIN32 (NT/XP/Win95/Win32s).

* Note that there is no limit checking built into the source code so you can feed an input file will more points and segment that a given compiled version can handle. It will appear to run but if the number of segments and nodes is excessive the run numbers will be wrong. You should always try to use the largest version that will run on your machine.

There isn't really any reason to use the single precision version other than the fact is uses less memory for the same size of problem. This usually isn't an issue unless a larger problem is needed. Below are two versions for single precision.

Single Precision Executables (zipped) Compiled for:

• 15000 Segments asap3_2_15k.zip 95728 bytes
• 20000 Segments asap3_2_20k.zip 95739 bytes

Be warned that for very large and intricate problems the single precision version may not work well due to numerical stability issues. It is always best to use the double precision version if possible.

*** One more time: 

!!!!  For the compiled versions provided here,  the input file must be renamed in.txt and the program when run will produce a file named out.txt in the same directory.

Versions you compile yourself from the source code may respond differently depending on the compiler and how you modify the file handles and unit numbers in the OPEN statements.
