Static Resistor Check (static_resistor)

Description

Reports all resistors within or outside the range of rmin and rmax. It can also generate a distribution list of all the resistors in a circuit.

If the type parameter is set to range, all the resistors outside the range of rmin and rmax will be reported. If the type parameter is set to print, all the resistors between rmin and rmax will be reported. In the report, the resistor names can be sorted by clicking on the Device name header in the Web browser.

If the type parameter is set to distr, a distribution list will be generated for all resistors. There are a maximum of 12 bins:

-Inf - 0, 0 - 1m, 1m - 10m, 10m - 0.1, 0.1 - 1, 1 - 10, 10 - 100, 100 - 1k, 1k - 10k, 10k - 100k, 100k - 1Meg, and 1Meg - Inf

However, if two or more consecutive bins are empty, they will merge into one bin, reducing the number of bins. If type is set to distr, the parameters rmin, rmax and error_limit are ignored.

The results are reported into the static.xml file, which can be viewed in a Web browser. This check is supported only by XPS and APS.
