Aliases
These are alternate names for reference nodes. The names are descriptive in nature to easily identify the node.
For example, the node name for the high current output of the Agilent 34401 or E1411 Digital Multimeter is
called "IsrcHi". Figure 1-2 shows typical Aliases in the 'system.ust' file.
Wires
These are names for wires that connect to or between nodes. In some cases, these names are the same aliases used
for nodes. For example, the alias called "DVMIsrcHi" is often used for the wire name that connects to that node.
Figure 1-3 shows typical wires in the 'system.ust' file.
Modules
These are the names of the instruments in the system. For example, the name "MCM" indicates that there is an
Agilent E6171B Measurement control module in the system. The figure below shows a few typical modules in
the 'system.ust' file.
