Every component has an «Output/Display» dialog, as shown in the figure below. The number
and type of the entries in the table depends on the component.

Explanations for Quantities – The Description Column
The entries in this column show the common parameter description of both the component
parameters and simulation outputs. The symbol at the beginning characterize the parameter
function. If the component has conservative nodes, they are also listed in the table. You cannot
modify the entries in this column.

Qualifier of Parameters – The Name Column
The entries in this column show the qualifier of both the component parameters and simulation
outputs. If the element has conservative nodes, they are also listed in the table. You need
the qualifiers of parameters for using in equations and expressions. You cannot modify the entries
in this column. See also “Qualifier of Parameters” on page 29.
Connectors for Quantities – The Pin Column
If the box of an entry is checked, the quantity is available as pin at the symbol. You can connect
the quantity with another pin of a component to define the value. Please note: The pins
have direction attributes. Component parameters represent input pins, simulation outputs
outputs pins. To select more than one entry in the list press the CTRL or SHIFT key and click
all entries you want. Then click with right mouse button in the list and select «Pin». See also
“Using Pins” on page 44.
Parameter Displays on the Sheet – The Show Column
The figure below shows all the available choices of displays for components. If the «Show»
column is clicked with the right mouse button, the drop down menu to select the display form
