Predefined Variables
For a given X value, the Y value
is determined. The LOOKUP
function provides characteristic
values in equations. The value of
Name.CH is irrelevant.
For a given X value, the Y value
is selected. The value of
Name.FILE is irrelevant.

Wizard (Dialog)
Type
The values are used instantly to
define dialog input settings, for
example to provide input fields
for coefficients of order dependent
components.
The type accepts only the name of a
characteristic component. The values
cannot be assigned by a variable.
Examples:
EQUL1.VAL, XY1.VAL
The type accepts only a name referring
to an .mdx file (.xls 4.0, .csv, .txt, .mdb).
The value cannot be assigned by a variable.
Example:
C:\release\diode.mdx
Accepts only numerical values (constant
with or without unit suffix). The
values cannot be assigned by a variable.
Examples:
10k, 5K, -1E-3, 0.003, 20MEG
The simulator uses predefined variables for internal computation. If these variables are used
in a model description, an error message or unexpected effects result. All predefined variables
are case insensitive. See also “Using Simulation Parameters” on page 53.
Predefined variables cannot be used for names in a model description.
