Non-Conservative Nodes Tab
Macro Text Tab
The «Non-Conservative Nodes» dialog lists the parameters defined in the macro text,C model
.dll file, or internal component. For a selected parameter, the figure used in the dialog can
be changed by checking a box (Characteristic, External File, Logical Expression, Value, Control
Signal, Control Quantity, Initial Value, Text) below the list field. The types have no influence
on the parameter itself. The «Use Pin» option sets the input pin of a parameter as default
when you drop the component on the sheet. See also “Displaying and Hiding Pins” on page
45.
You can also enter a parameter unit, a common description («Info»), a default value, and a display
setting. To define an entry, click the field in the respective column, and enter the text.
The default value must adhere to the SML syntax (numerical value with or without unit suffix).
See also 3.3.4 “Defining Component Properties” on page 48.
In case of C models, you can define units and descriptions in the model code itself. These are
used for C model updates. Each parameter in the list has a shortcut menu, where you can define
default output settings. Select one of the following output formats for a selected parameter:
Screen analog or Result Database. If «Default Output for Probe» is checked, the
parameter is displayed from the probe added to the component in the Schematic. You can define
only one parameter for the probe. See also 12.2 “Display Elements” on page 369.

The «Macro Text» dialog displays the SML or VHDL-AMS description of the component. You
can edit and modify the macro text. The SML syntax of the text is checked when you click
. Error messages are displayed below the input field. C models and encoded macro
models have no text in this dialog box.
If the macro text is encoded using the command in the dialog, the text can
no longer be changed. In contrast to locked models, you cannot see the entries in the
text field. For encoded macros, the corresponding message is displayed in this dialog.
