Error: Some parameters are yet not defined (or bad format)
Back to Simulation Assistant
Some commands or components(models) are not yet sufficiently parameterized, i.e. some parameters are not yet entered or wrongly formatted.
- Parameters in commands
- Componentvalues (only if associated with a parameter of the model)
- Parameters in components(models)
Input fields with the entry {COMPONENTVALUE} should not be edited, since the input for these parameters should take place in the componentvalue. Formats for numbers: Comma or point as decimal separator? In SPICE a point must be used as decimal separator, but in some cases TARGET3001! can do an automatic conversion:
- Numbers in the componentvalue fields.
- Numbers in the fields of a dialog for a model or a command.
BUT NOT:
- Numbers in the circuit of a subcircuit
- Numbers in math. expressions (i.e. in curved brackets {})
- Numbers in the control function of a nonlinear controlled source etc.
If you want to avoid problems, then please always use a point as decimal separator!
Why is the automatic conversion not possible in any case: In SPICE the comma is used as separator for parameters etc.! A function call e.g. func(2,8,5) leads to an ambiguity (2.8, 5 or 2, 8.5 or three parameters?), if the comma is used as decimal separator. Also external simulators e.g. PSPICE would output an "invalid expression" (e.g. also with {2.5+5,5}) !
