cdsTerm

cdsTerm( 
s_pinName
)

Description

The function cdsTerm displays label information, usually placed on the layer annotate drawing8, near the pin or a net attached to the pin. It is also attached to a cell symbol view when you use the Add Symbol Label form, and the Annotation Setup Form is used to control the display of this label type.

The cdsTerm function uses information about the instance currently being drawn in order to compute the data returned by the schematic editor during a redraw. Consequently, cdsTerm is only intended to be called as the value of an ILLabel on a symbol, and is not intended for direct evaluation during a program. If it is invoked directly, information on the current drawn instance will not be available.

The CDF Interpreted Labels Information sections of both the library and component are also used to configure what this label displays. The pertinent Interpreted Labels Information parameters are termDisplayMode, termSimType, and netNameType.

Arguments

s_pinName

If the symbol contains special characters, you must put the string in quotation marks or escape the special characters properly.

Value Returned
