|  | TOOL NAME:                 DECSIM
TECHNOLOGY:                Electrical               
FUNCTION:                  Logic Simulator, Fault Simulator
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:       DECSIM is a 4-state, multi-mode, interactive, 
                           hierarchical logic simulator used to design and
                           simulate chips, boards, and systems.  It can be
                           used at many levels:  architectural, functional,
                           logic, or transistor.  It consists of a simulator
                           and two modeling languages:  structural and 
                           behavioral.
STATUS:                    in operation
