Module 5 - Parameterization

Parameterization is one of the most important to modeling concepts. Before you can parameterize a model, you will learn how subcircuits provide a universal interface to electrical models. You will then learn that once the design has been divided into subcircuit blocks, adding parameters which configure those subcircuits will open a realm of modeling flexibility. The importance of the two key concepts of subcircuits and parameters cannot be over-emphasized. Finally, you will learn how to add two different parameter editing dialogs to your models.
