Hint: Some signal names or component names could cause problems for external simulators.

Back to Simulation Assistant

No special characters should be used for signal names or component names, if

These characters are not special: 'a'...'z', 'A'...'Z', '0'...'9', '_', '$'. A blank and also the special characters '+', '-', '(' etc. could cause problems.

Please rename the affected signals if necessary!

A troubling example: In the original SPICE3 simulator a signal with the name '+5V ', which is used in the formula "V(+5V)-V(out)", would cause an error message, since it regards '+' as an operator.

Some special characters that are strictly not allowed in TARGET3001! Error: Some signal names or component names are not allowed in SPICE (format errors)
