Editing CDF parameters for a MOS device

Usuomi
Usuomi over 17 years ago

Hello-  I using Virtuoso Schematic Editor 5.10.41 to simulate a digital circuit.  I need to vary the size of an NMOS device.  I write a variable name (i.e. wtry) into the W field for example.  When I simulate (Eldo simulator) I get the following error: ERROR 1510: W parameter cannot be defined both as a string and as a real value.   The .cir file puts my MOS variable as a string (i.e. "wtry"). 

Each time I run eldo I need to remove all the quotations in my .cir file.  Please help.  How do I get rid of this problem?  If I have to remove these quotations one more time I am going to go crazy ... lol.

 Thanks,

Usuomi

    Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I was unable to find the 'parse asNumber option' in the CDF attribute area of 'Edit Object Properties' menu.  There is only Width, Length, etc.
