Documentation Syntax Conventions
The conventions described are used in combination with each other to describe the way you
must specify the syntax.
Table 1-1 lists the documentation syntax conventions used throughout the Eldo User’s Manual
both in the syntax and in the syntax descriptions.
Table 1-1. Documentation Syntax Conventions
USER INPUT Eldo netlist content is shown in courier non-bold typeface. Eldo is case
insensitive by default.
KEYWORD
S
Eldo keywords are shown in courier bold typeface. Eldo is case insensitive
by default.
Example: NONOISE is an Eldo keyword.
[ ] Brackets (square) indicate that a parameter is optional. Optional parameter
declarations may also be nested.
Example: [[DC] DCVAL] shows that the value parameter DCVAL is optional
with the possibility of specifying another optional keyword parameter DC.
{ } Braces (curly brackets) indicate multiple occurrences of a parameter.
Example: NN {NN} shows that the parameter NN may be specified more than
once. The parameter NN could be a node name for example.
{ } Certain syntax, for example expressions, have to be enclosed in braces (curly
brackets). In these cases, the braces are shown in bold to distinguish them
from the braces used above to indicate multiple occurrences. They are part of
the syntax.
Example: VALUE={2U*V(3, 4)*I(V5)} shows that VALUE is calculated by
the expression in braces.
