Source() Function

The Source() function changes the DC voltage value of a source, without changing the subcircuit definition used by the source symbol. This function can only be placed in the Source column. Although the Source entry and Source() Function appear to be the same, there is a distinct difference:

  • Source is a testplan column entry
  • The Source() Function is a valid entry into the Source column

The Source() function only changes the DC_VOLTAGE parameter on the source, no other parameters are changed.

Testplan Entry

To set a voltage value of a source, use the following syntax:

Source(REF, DC_VOLTAGE)
Argument Range Description
REF n/a The actual reference designator of the DVM Source or the  more generic syntax of INPUT:n where n is an integer indicating a position in the list of Managed Sources and Loads
VOLTAGE n/a The DC voltage value
