Postfix operators for reals

Real parameters may optionally be modified with a postfix operator. Postfix operators are used to specify powers of ten.

The following postfix operators are supported:



Operator Scale Factor
f, F $10.^{-15}$
p, P $10.^{-12}$
n, N $10.^{-9}$
u, U $10.^{-6}$
l, L, m $10.^{-3}$
k, K $10.^{+3}$
M $10.^{+6}$
g, G $10.^{+9}$
t, T $10.^{+12}$



The following entries in an F parameter field all represent the same real number:

1234000000000000.0f, 1234000000000000.0F, 1234000000000.0p,

1234000000000.0P, 1234000000.0n, 1234000000.0N, 1234000.0u,

1234000.0U, 1234.0l, 1234.0L, 1234.0m, 1.234, 0.001234k, 0.001234K,

0.000001234M, 0.000000001234g, 0.000000001234G, .000000000001234t,

.000000000001234T

Any text following the postfix operator, up to the next delimiter, is ignored. In addition, the percent sign may be used as a postfix operator in some types of records to indicate a percentage deviation from a nominal value. See for example the description of the VARY record.

Input records can be up to 78 characters in length.

The circuit analysis is controlled by several run control records. The available run control records and their usage are documented on the following pages. Run control records start with a period ('.') in column one.

CCICAP is sensitive to alphabetic case. The element names and node names may be in mixed case. Note that the following two element records describe two distinct resistors between two distinct node pairs:

R, r1, es, eo, 1.e3 * Resistor r1 between nodes es and eo.

R, R1, eS, Eo, 10.e4 * Resistor R1 between nodes eS and Eo.

See element entry descriptions under CKT record below.
