How the S
mbol Wizard Works
The symbol wizard operates in four phases: setup, automatic
symbol creation, refinement, and global configuration.
Phase 1: Setup
To begin, the symbol wizard asks you for:
• the name of the model library that contains the model
definitions, and
• the name of the symbol library to save the new symbol
definitions to.
Phase 2: Automatic s
mbol creation
The symbol
wizard automatically creates symbols for:
• all of the models defined as model parameter sets (.MODEL
syntax), and
• as many of the models defined as subcircuits (.SUBCKT
syntax) as it recognizes.
When phase 2 completes, the wizard displays two lists showing:
• subcircuits that it could not create symbols for, and
• subcircuits with symbols.
Phase 3: Refinement
The wizard arranges the
subcircuits into groups that have the same terminal node names
(pins) in the same order.
If you want to replace a symbol that the wizard created or want
to create a symbol for a group (or subset) of subcircuits that
don’t have a symbol, then you can do so by choosing to base the
new symbol on either:
• an existing symbol, or
• a generic rectangle,
and then continue to follow the instructions.
You can repeat this process until you are satisfied with the
symbol assignments.
Instead of usin
the MicroSim
default symbol set, you can use
your own set of standard
symbols. To find out more, see
Basing New Symbols On a
Custom Set of Symbols on
page 5-13.
If needed, you can refine the
raphics after finishin
the
wizard. See
Editing Symbol
Graphics on page 5-15.
