Description
|
|
NEW
|
Defines a new item. NEW is always followed by a definition of a primary type. For example:
NEW CONNECTOR T2
|
|
PARAMETER
|
Defines a parameter for the item.
Syntax: PARAMETER <name> <value>
|
|
PARAMETERS
|
Defines multiple parameters for an item. The values for the parameters are defined in the following VALUES statement.
Syntax:
PARAMETERS <param1 name> <param2 name> <param3 name>
VALUES <param1 val> <param2 val> <param3 val>
|
|
VALUES
|
Defines the values for the parameters defined in the preceding PARAMETERS statement.
Syntax:
PARAMETERS <param1 name> <param2 name> <param3 name>
VALUES <param1 val> <param2 val> <param3 val>
|
|
ATTACH
|
Defines the connection between the wires and conductors. Applies to WIRE and CONDUCTOR statements.
Syntax:
ATTACH <from conn or comp name> <from pin name> <to conn or comp name> <to pin name>
Example:
ATTACH T1 4 T2 4
|
|
CONDUCTOR
|
Defines a cable conductor. There must be a CABLE statement before the CONDUCTOR statement. Specifying the name of the conductor is optional.
Syntax:
CONDUCTOR <id> <optional cond name>
Example:
CONDUCTOR 2
|
|
PIN
|
Defines the pins for a connector or a component. There must be a CONNECTOR or a COMPONENT statement before the PIN statement.
Syntax:
PIN <pin name>
Example:
PIN IN_1
|
|
Primary Type
|
Description
|
|
WIRE
|
Defines a wire in the cabling assembly. The wire definition may include the following item: PARAMETER, PARAMETERS and VALUES, and ATTACH.
Syntax:
NEW WIRE <wire name> <wire spool name>
Example:
NEW WIRE W-1 16_RED_SXL
|
|
CABLE
|
Defines a cable in the cabling assembly. The cable definition may include the following item: PARAMETER, PARAMETERS and VALUES, CONDUCTORS, and ATTACH.
Syntax:
NEW CABLE <cable name> <cable spool name>
Example:
NEW CABLE CAB_1 3XAWG16
|
|
WIRE_SPOOL
|
Defines a wire spool. The wire spool may have PARAMETER commands to define the wire spool parameters.
Syntax:
NEW WIRE_SPOOL <wire spool name>
Example:
NEW WIRE_SPOOL 16_YEL_SXL
PARAMETER MIN_BEND_RADIUS 0.025
PARAMETER THICKNESS 3.33
PARAMETER UNITS MM
PARAMETER COLOR yel
PARAMETER NAME_FORMAT W-##
PARAMETER WIRE_GAUGE 1
|
|
CABLE_SPOOL
|
Defines a cable spool. The cable spool may have CONDUCTOR statements associated with it to define the parameters of the conductors in the cable spool.
Syntax:
NEW CABLE_SPOOL <cable spool name> <number of conductors>
Example:
NEW CABLE_SPOOL 3XAWG16 4
PARAMETER MIN_BEND_RADIUS 6.46
PARAMETER THICKNESS 6.46
PARAMETER UNITS MM
PARAMETER NAME_FORMAT C##-<spool_name>
CONDUCTOR 2

PARAMETER MIN_BEND_RADIUS 1.6
PARAMETER NAME_FORMAT W-##
PARAMETER THICKNESS 1.3
PARAMETER UNITS MM
PARAMETER WIRE_GAUGE 16
CONDUCTOR 1
PARAMETER TYPE WIRE
PARAMETER COLOR blk
PARAMETER MIN_BEND_RADIUS 1.6
PARAMETER NAME_FORMAT W-##
PARAMETER THICKNESS 1.3
PARAMETER UNITS MM
PARAMETER WIRE_GAUGE 16
|
|
CONNECTOR
|
Defines a connector. The PARAMETER and PIN statements defining the connector parameters and individual pins may follow the CONNECTOR statement.
Syntax:
NEW CONNECTOR <name>
Example:
NEW CONNECTOR R-01
PARAMETER MODEL_NAME CONN_9PIN
PARAMETER DESCRIPTION Regulator
PARAMETER LAYER 0
PARAMETER NUM_OF_PINS 8
PIN 8
PARAMETER LOGICAL_NAME 8
PARAMETER DEF_GROUPING FLAT
PARAMETER ENTRY_PORT ENTRY
PARAMETER LAYER 0
PARAMETER GROUPING FLAT
PARAMETER INTERNAL_LEN 3
|
|
COMPONENT
|
Defines a component. The PARAMETER and PIN statements defining the component parameters and individual pins may follow the COMPONENT statement.
Syntax:
NEW COMPONENT <name>
Example:
|
|
RAIL
|
Indicates that the item is a rail. The only argument a RAIL item may have is a name. When the name is used in an attach statement for a wire, cable, or conductor, its pin must be a double quote to indicate that there isn't one: "".
