•componentName is the type of component you are creating, such as BJT, JFET, and MOSFET.
•namePrefix lets you enter a prefix for defining the instance in the netlist. This is not used by the spectre interface. Typically, this is the first letter of your component. The netlister takes this prefix (R, for example), and the name of your component (12, for example), and forms the name
(R12).

•You can use interpreted labels to display parameter values, evaluated parameter values, net connectivity information, backannotated simulation information, and more.

•paramDisplayMode is a cyclic field that selects the kind of parameters to display.
–parameter selects instance or CDF parameter values.
–model selects model parameter values from simulation.
–opPoint selects DC or transient operating point results from simulation.
–none selects no parameters.
–not set specifies that you made no selection for this field.

•paramEvaluate selects amethod for displaying parameter values. (These different methods of display are necessary because a parameter value can be a constant, a design variable, an expression using constants or design variables, or a value or expression inherited from the hierarchy.)
–not set specifies that you want no setting for this field.
–literal displays the literal parameter value as entered.
–suffixes converts suffixes in the parameter value to numerical values. For example, 1K becomes 1000.
–globals evaluates global design variables in expressions. For example, if the value is Rin*100 and Rin is 5, the label displays 5 * 100.

•paramEvaluate selects amethod for displaying parameter values. (These different methods of display are necessary because a parameter value can be a constant, a design variable, an expression using constants or design variables, or a value or expression inherited from the hierarchy.)
–inheritance evaluates inherited parameters in expressions. For example, if the value is pPar(Rin)*100 and the parent instance has a parameter Rin set to 10, the label displays 10 * 100.
–full performs complete numeric evaluation of the expression and displays the result. For example, if the value is Rin*10 and Rin is 5, it displays 50. If the value is pPar(Rin)*100 and the parent instance has a parameter Rin set to 10, it displays 1000.

•termSimType selects the simulation type for the result that you want to annotate. The valid choices are not set, DC, or transient. This field is used only when termDisplayMode is either voltage or current.
•netNameType selects the type of net name to display if termDisplayMode is set to netName. The valid choices are not set, schematic, or simulator.
