For more information on name mapping, refer to Using Valid ADS Characters. Name mapping is limited to all names being changed to lowercase, as well as replacement of an illegal character with an underscore. When the translator changes the name of a node or a component to comply with ADS rules, this is referred to as name mapping. Use the default value for the ex1.sp example. The First line is a comment option is available because some simulators will always ignore the first line regardless of the first character. This is not necessary if the line already begins with a comment character. To make sure the first line of a source file is recognized as a comment line and ignored, the First line is a comment checkbox must be selected. For more information on device and model tables, refer to Translating a Device and Translating a Model. You may also be able to match syntax with the device table or model levels in the model tables. Recognizing Netlist VariationsДЇor HSpice, the `$' must be preceded by a space or a comma if it is not the first non-blank character because the $ is allowed within node or element names. If you are unsure of the source of the netlist file, you may be able to tell from the syntax of in-line comments shown in Recognizing Netlist Variations. In the Import Netlist Options dialog box, select the appropriate netlist dialect from the Input Netlist Dialect drop-down list. The Import Netlist Options dialog box appears.

Click More Options to define the preferred import method.

You are returned to the Import dialog box and the selected filename appears in the field labeled Import File Name (Source).

After selecting the design to import, ex1.sp for this example, click OK.

Alternatively, you can enter the full path and file name in the Selection field. Navigate to the directory containing your source file in the Directories field, then click the file in the Files field.The Import File Selection dialog box appears. To specify the path and filename of the file you want to import, click Browse in the Import dialog box.In the Import dialog box, select Netlist File from the File Type drop-down list if it isn't already displayed.In the Import dialog box, choose the type of file to import, specify the filename and supply other basic information needed by the translator. Choose File > Import to access the import dialog and import your design from the ADS Main or Schematic window.This will remove any active designs from memory. Choose File > Close All to close any open designs before invoking the import procedure.The import option will not be active in the File menu unless you open a project.ДЇor more information on working in project directories, refer to Managing Projects and Designs. Importing a netlist file to an ADS Schematic or an ADS Netlist with a NetlistInclude component using the Netlist Translator can be broken down into the following steps. Importing a Netlist File Using the Netlist Translator The netlist version also provides much faster processing. This makes it easy to compare your files line by line for debugging purposes.

However, if you have a large or complex netlist source file or you are just more comfortable viewing a netlist version, the ADS Netlist plus an ADS Schematic with a NetlistInclude component option enables you to review the netlist. If you have a relatively simple netlist file and need only a schematic, the ADS Schematic option is recommended. You have the option of generating either an ADS Schematic or an ADS Netlist plus an ADS Schematic with a NetlistInclude component depending on your selections. Performing a translation via the Netlist Translator enables you to easily define the translation criteria and translate your netlist file. This section describes the procedures for importing Spectre or SPICE netlist files into ADS using the Netlist Translator.
