Selection

Cables: Modeling 2D(TL) Modeling Selection

The figure below shows the Selection tab. On the left side there is the Selected signals frame. By default, all available cables from the Cable Navigation Tree will be listed inside this frame. Every signal causes a representation in the equivalent circuit to be generated (see Signals and Terminals). Therefore, the user has to decide on cables which should not take part in the signal transmission. In general, all existing cables will be taken into account during the calculation of the corresponding transmission line parameters. But there is a difference on how the cables will be treated, depending on whether the cables are selected or not. A selected cable will appear  in the generated equivalent circuit explicitly - with corresponding pins for the cable's terminals (see Signals and Terminals ). Not selected cables will be considered either as grounded or floating during the calculation of the transmission line parameters (see Modeling). They won't appear explicitly in the generated equivalent circuit but, of course, will affect the transmission line parameter of the existing signal cables.

The icons on the top of the Selection tab enable actions which are explained below. The meaning of each icon is also explained by tool-tips. To see a tool-tip just move the mouse-pointer over the corresponding icon:
