SubCkt() Function

The SubCkt() function changes the subcircuit definition used by a source or load symbol. Most built-in sources and loads have their own functions which change the subcircuit type and value. The SubCkt() function is provided to allow you to change a subcircuit to a custom subcircuit name. This function can be placed in either a Source or Load column.

Testplan Entry

To set a source or load to a custom subcircuit, use the following syntax:

SubCkt(REF, SUBCKT_NAME)
SubCkt(REF, SUBCKT_NAME, OPTIONAL_PARAMETER_STRING)
Argument Range Description
REF n/a The actual reference designator of the DVM source or the more generic syntax of INPUT:n or OUTPUT:n where n is an integer indicating a position in the list of Managed Sources and Loads
SUBCKT_NAME n/a The subcircuit name. This is the name of the ASCII text subcircuit.
OPTIONAL_PARAMETER_STRING n/a Parameter string with a combination of one or more electrical parameters used in the source or load. These parameters are stored on symbol properties, the symbol uses parameterization to pass each symbol property into the model as an electrical parameter.
