e Description

Evaluation Field Required
The Evaluate text box in the Specification dialog box must contain a valid Probe
output variable, Probe goal function, or PSpice Optimizer expression. Refer to
application examples in the your PSpice user’s guide.
[11021]
Column Name Required
The first line of an external data file must contain names for each column of data. The
first column should contain the X axis data, and each succeeding column should
contain Y axis data for each external specification. The column names (on the first
line) must be identical to those used in the Specification dialog box (X Column Name,
Y Column Name).
[11022]
Would Exceed Max #Params
There is a maximum of 8 parameters allowed for an optimization.
[11023]
Would Exceed Max #Specs
There is a maximum of 8 specifications allowed for an optimization.
[11024]
All Params Are Disabled
At least one parameter must be selected to perform an optimization.
[11025]
Can't Open File
The .opt file could not be opened by the PSpice Optimizer. Make sure that this file
is not locked by a word processor or other application.
[11026]
Problem With External Spec
See [11021] for a description of the external specification data file.
[11027]
Max #Iterations Exceeded
The maximum number of iterations can be increased by selecting Defaults from the
Options menu. The default limit is 20 iterations. It is often more helpful to refine the
specifications than to increase this limit.
[11028]
Terminated
The optimization was terminated by the user.
[11029]
Can't Make Progress
No improvement was made by going back to the last good step and recalculating
derivatives. Try refining the specifications.
[11030]
No External File
The external file typed in the Edit Specification dialog box could not be found. See
[11021] for a description of the format of this file.
[11031]
External Spec - Bad Format
A column could not be found in the external data file. See [11021] for a description of
the format for this file.
[11032]
Unrecognized Expression
The expression used in the Evaluate text box of the Edit Specification dialog box
could not be parsed. See errors [11014] and [11016] for aids in debugging the
problem. PSpice Optimizer expressions can only use the following operators: (+, -, *,
/, **, exp, log, log10, sin, cos, tan, atan).
