How to set optimization goals to output equations using MWO in AWR

In MWO, Output equations assign the result of a measurement to a variable, which you can use in other equations just like other variables. A project can include multiple Output Equations documents, each of which can contain multiple output equations and standard equations. Note that the term "output equations" refers to both the type of document and the type of equations that you can add to those documents. 

Let us see how to set optimization goals for output equations.  

The best way is to do it with measurements. Optimization goals can be set to the graphs and measurements, not to the output equations directly. The output equation is linked to the graphs and measurements, and optimization goals are set.  

Here are the steps to do this:  

1. Go to Circuit Schematics. Create your schematics and add graphs and measurements required for your design. Write the output equation in the schematic. Now, set the measurement to output equation, and select the proper document name and equation name, as shown in the picture below.  

Go to Output Equations. Create your output equation. Select the document name and equation name, as shown below. 

            2. Now, set the optimization goals / yield goals for the graph.
