Eldo Netlist Setup
Environment Variables
• Letters immediately following a scale factor are ignored. Thus M, MA, MSEC, and
MMHOS all represent the same scale factor, M.
• The scale factor M represents 1×10 −3 or “milli” units. 1×10 6 or “mega” units are
specified using the MEG scale factor. This is commonly confused in SPICE syntax.
• Scale factors are not cumulative. KK is not MEG, but K, since the second letter is
ignored.
• M.K.S. units are used throughout the netlist.
• dB represents decibels.

Environment Variables
Eldo supports the syntaxes $(variable) and ${variable} to identify environment variables. For
example, if in the shell terminal you have an environment variable “var1” defined, you can use
it in commands that operate with pathnames:
.include test$(var1)lib/test.inc
.include test${var1}lib/test.inc
