Registering User Defined Functions
The .USE_TCL command loads the Tcl file, filename, into the Eldo Tcl interpreter, enabling all
declared functions to be recognized inside Eldo.
.USE_TCL filename
After loading the Tcl file, Eldo can use all the functions written inside this file as if they were
macros. This means these functions can accept any argument, are defined for the whole netlist,
and can return both numbers and/or waves.
EZwave also supports Tcl scripting, enabling you to create batch files to execute Tcl commands
from within EZwave. When .USE_TCL is used in EZwave mode, then the Tcl script must
adhere to the EZwave Tcl command syntax rules.
Tip
See “.USE_TCL” in the Eldo Reference Manual and “Tcl Scripting Support” in the EZwave
User’s and Reference Manual.
Making Specific Calls to User Defined Functions
The .CALL_TCL command is used to perform a single call to a Tcl function. The example files
expressions.cir and expressions.tcl demonstrate how .CALL_TCL can be used in the netlist,
creating waveforms for EZwave to plot using PPL Built-in functions.
Tip
See “.CALL_TCL” in the Eldo Reference Manual.
