schematic page is referred to as Y1.R34 when used in an
output variable.
A <pin id> (from line 4) is uniquely distinguished by
specifying the full part name (as described above)
followed by a colon, and the pin name. For example, the
pins on a capacitor with reference designator C31 placed
on a top-level page and pin names 1 and 2 would be
identified as C31:1 and C31:2, respectively.
Current
Specify current in the following format:
i[modifiers](<out device>[:modifiers])
where <out device> is a fully qualified device name.
Modifiers
The basic syntax for output variables can be modified to
indicate terminals of semiconductors and AC
specifications. The modifiers come before <out id> or
<out device>. Or, when specifying terminals (such as
source or drain), the modifier is the pin name contained in
<out id>, or is appended to <out device> separated by a
colon.
Modifiers can be specified as follows:
• For voltage:
v[AC suffix](<out id>[, out id])
v[terminal]*(<out device>)
• For current:
i[AC suffix](<out device>[:terminal])
i[terminal][AC suffix](<out device>])
where
terminal specifies one or two terminals for devices
with more than two terminals, such as D
(drain), G (gate), S (source)
