2.26 MERGE command
2.26.1 Syntax
merge filename
2.26.2 Purpose
Gets an existing circuit file, without clearing memory.
2.26.3 Comments
The first comment line of the file being read is the new title, and replaces
the existing title.
Comments in the circuit file are stored, unless they start with *+ in
which case they are thrown away.
`Dot cards' are set up, but not executed. This means that variables and
options are changed, but simulation commands are not actually done. As
an example, the options command is actually performed, since it only
sets up variables. The ac command is not performed, but its parameters
are stored, so that a plain ac command will perform the analysis
specified in the file.
Any circuit already in memory is kept. New elements with duplicate labels
replace the old ones. New elements that are not duplicates are added to the
end of the list, as if the files were appended.
2.26.4 Examples
- merge amp.ckt
- Get the circuit file amp.ckt from
the current directory. Use it to change the circuit in memory.
- merge npn.mod
- Include the file npn.mod.
