+ | |||
+ | ===== Syntax ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | generator scale | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Purpose ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The component "value" is dependent on a "signal generator", | ||
+ | manipulated by the "generator" command. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Comments ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | For transient analysis, the "value" is determined by a signal | ||
+ | generator, which is considered to be external to the circuit and part | ||
+ | of the test bench. See the "generator" command for more | ||
+ | information. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For AC analysis, the value here is the amplitude. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Strictly, all of the functionality and more is available through the | ||
+ | Spice-like behavioral modeling functions, but this one provides a user | ||
+ | interface closer to the function generator that an analog designer | ||
+ | would use on a real bench. It is mainly used for interactive operation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It also provides backward compatibility with predecessors to Gnucap, | ||
+ | which used a different netlist format. | ||
