     Hi,

    The dbCreateParamInst() function  provides syntax for supplying parameters, it is an optional argument ( l_params in the documentation):

    dbCreateParamInst(
     d_cellView
     d_master
     t_name
     l_point
     t_orient
     [ x_numInst
     [ l_params
     [ b_physOnly ] ] ]
    )
         => d_inst | nil

    l_params List of l_param, where l_param is list(t_propName t_propType g_value).

     Supply the parameters that you wish for the device at the time of instantiation.

    I hope that this answers your question.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
