spice model parameters #24

Closed thesourcerer8 closed 3 months ago

thesourcerer8 commented 7 months ago

If I specify the typical parameter to a model, it seems to be handled as a tuple value, but then it crashes:

models:
        - ../Tech.GF180MCU/sm141064.ngspice typical # This syntax tells CharLib to use the '.lib file section' syntax for this model
        - ../Tech.GF180MCU/design.ngspice

This is the result:

If I remove the "typical", it continues running.

The solution was to install the customized PySpice version.
