SIMPLORER 6.0 — Manual 101
� «Extrapolation»
In the list, select the «Linear», «Periodic», «Halfperiod», «Constant», «Even», or «Odd» extrapolation
type to define the quantity characteristics outside the range of parameter sweep.
The default extrapolation is «Linear».
Select «Linear» to extrapolate a linear waveform. This option takes the last two points of the
wave and generates a straight line extending beyond the range of parametric sweep. Select
«Periodic» to repeat the wave outside the range of parametric sweep. Select «Halfperiod» to
mirror then repeat the waveform outside the range of parameter sweep. Select «Constant» to
extrapolate a constant value from the last point in the interpolation. Select «Even» to repeat
the wave outside the range of parametric sweep. Select «Odd» to repeat a reflection of the
waveform outside the range of the parametric sweep. For example, extrapolating with this
option reflects the wave into the positive range.
� «Interpolation»
In the list, select the «NOSPLINE», «LASTSPLINE», or «DEEPSPLINE» interpolation type to
define the quantity characteristic inside the range of parameter sweep. The default interpolation
is «NOSPLINE». The interpolation type is valid for all input quantities.
Select «NOSPLINE» to fit a straight line between the points of interpolation. Select
«LASTSPLINE» to apply a Bezier interpolation to the last quantity characteristic. Select
«DEEPSPLINE» to apply a Bezier interpolation to all quantity characteristics.
� � «File Name»
If the box is checked, characteristics of input values are defined by the file entered in the text
box, otherwise the values in the dialog are used. Please note: Select the
correct file filter (.mdx) before browsing.
«Name»
Displays the component internal names of the output quantities which are defined in the
dialog. You cannot make changes in these fields.
� «Type»
In the list field, select Voltage (VSRC) or Current (CSRC) source for output.
Click to open the dialog to create or edit input and output quantities.
Input Quantities
«Edit Input Channels»
Create or delete entries with the symbols placed on the upper right side.
«Index»
Displays the component internal index of the input quantities. You cannot make changes in
these fields.
«Name»«Unit»
Click in the fields to define names and units for the corresponding input quantity. Both are
displayed in the column headings of the lookup table and saved in the created .mdx file.
«Channel Data»
Select an input quantity in the table to define the corresponding characteristic data in the
lookup table. The name of the active input quantity displays the group box inscription. Create,
delete or move the entries with the symbols placed on the upper right side. Click in the
fields to enter values. Please note, you cannot use variables or expressions. Only numbers are
accepted.
