Setting up analyses
201
These building blocks can be used for specifying output
variables as shown in Table 4
(which summarizes the
accepted output variable formats) and Tables 5
through 8
(which list valid elements for two-terminal, three- or
four-terminal devices, transmission line devices, and AC
specifications).
AC suffix specifies the quantity to be reported for an
AC analysis, such as M (magnitude), P
(phase), G (group delay)
out id specifies either the <net id> or <pin id>
(<fully qualified device name>:<pin name>)
out device specifies the <fully qualified device name>
