The spec of adexl

dogman4

Hi,all

In ADE XL, what is the function of the "info" field in the Spec section under Outputs Setup?
Additionally, how can I input a reference voltage V1 in the Spec such that it only appears as informational text in the Results' spec section without affecting simulations?

thx

    This is covered in the documentation (in the Assembler documentation it's in the chapter "Working with Specifications" chapter; I didn't check to see where it was in the obsolete ADE XL documentation, but I expect the same place):

    info: Returns the pass status when the result is a scalar value. It shows the fail status if the result is a waveform.

    You can't have a value in the spec section for an info type spec. Only for >,<, minimise and maximise. It doesn't affect the simulations, but having it will mean you may get some marked as pass or fail.

    If you want some informational data (such as a reference value) you can add a column in the output setup (Right Mouse->Add Column over the column headings, and add "Description" say). You can then put some text in the Description column for the row in question, and this will appear in the results tab too.
