4.6 GENERATOR: Signal Generator time dependent value
4.6.1 Syntax
GENERATOR scale
4.6.2 Purpose
The component ``value'' is dependent on a ``signal generator'',
manipulated by the ``generator'' command.
4.6.3 Comments
For transient analysis, the ``value'' is determined by a signal
generator, which is considered to be external to the circuit and part
of the test bench. See the ``generator'' command for more
information.
For AC analysis, the value here is the amplitude.
Strictly, all of the functionality and more is available through the
Spice-like behavioral modeling functions, but this one provides a user
interface closer to the function generator that an analog designer
would use on a real bench. It is mainly used for interactive operation.
It also provides backward compatibility with predecessors to Gnucap,
which used a different netlist format.
