Options Description
A detailed description of all ReadNetlist options is given below in alphabetical order:
CharacterMapping
With CharacterMapping −> {character a −> character b } the internal character mapping scheme can
be modifed. Use this option with caution, because this rule will be applied to each symbol
and expression in the netlist. For example CharacterMapping −> {"." −> "$"} will replace all
dots (".") into dollar signs ("$"), even if it is a decimal dot like in "1.234", which will lead
to a syntax error ("1$234"). This option is useful if your netlist contains e.g. element names
including "_" and "$" and which will be ambiguous if the "_" is mapped to a "$". You can use
CharacterMapping −> {"_" −> "x"} to avoid this ambiguity.
KeepPrefix
Some schematic capture tools add a prefix to all element names to make sure that the element type
is correct and independent from the actual element name. If KeepPrefix −> False is set, the prefix
will be removed. If a Saber netlist is read, the template name is removed.
Use this option with caution. It might cause ambiguous element names.
LevelSeparator
Locally defined subcircuits must be transformed to a top-level subcircuit with unique names. To
generate unique names the value of LevelSeparator −> string is used to separate the different levels
of subcircuits. Because these names are never converted to a Mathematica symbol it is possible to
specifiy a non-alphanumeric character.
The default is LevelSeparator −> "/".
LibraryPath
A netlist can contain calls to further files and libraries. With LibraryPath the search path for these
files can be specified.
The default is LibraryPath −> {"."}. The current working directory is set to the directory from the
file name specification for netfile (see also the Mathematica command DirectoryName).
ParseOnly
Note that this option takes effect only if the option Simulator is set to "AnalogArtist". If
ParseOnly −> True then ReadNetlist skips the data extraction step and returns the raw data in
Mathematica format, while reading a file generated by the Spectre to Analog Insydes interface for Analog
Artist.
