select master cell in ADEXL

Clidre

Hello,

I'm using Schematic XL and ADEXL. I would like to do a parametric analysis and try different ratio between mosfets. In ADEXL I open the schematic in a different tab, select the Variables and Parameters Assistant and I select he mosfets I would like to test. Then I  click on 1:n button (Ratio Matched Parameters) and one mosfet is selected as a master, the others are slave. How can I decide which one is the master? I don't know how to change it.

Thanks!

    That's not what the 1:n button is for. What it is intended for is to allow you to define a set of parameters which are ratio-matched. That means that you can then parameterise one of them and the rest will keep the same ratio to that original device as they have right now - you aren't sweeping the ratio. 

    This then allows you to sweep the dimension on the "master" device (whichever it picks) and the others follow it, keeping the same ratio as original.

    Regards,

    Andrew
