Simulating with Calaveras
Number indicates sequence of simulation time points
No analog time step at digital step 6. Interpolation is used to find
the crossing point.
Analog time step 7 is ignored and Calaveras rolls-back to analog
time step 9 to syncronize analog and digital. Necessary when
driving an output.
