    Hello,

    I have a small question ...

    I would like to use function dbCreateParamInstByMasterName . I have a
    problem with the documentation.
    Here the doc:

    "
    dbCreateParamInstByMasterName(
    d_cellView
    t_libName
    t_cellName
    t_viewName
    t_name
    l_origin
    l_orient
    [ x_numInst
    [ l_params ] ]
    )
    => d_inst / nil

    and:

    t_instName : If speciï¬ed, the instance is named by t_name; if nil the
    program assigns a unique name to the instance. t_name must
    obey the syntax of instance names as deï¬ned at the beginning
    of this chapter.
    "

    but if i read the beginning of the related chapter, i can't find
    anything about the syntax of t_instName

    My problem is easy: i have two instances in my schematic. I would like
    to call them directly in my layout, and keeping the (almost) same
    name. If name can just differs by one number (let's say foo_1 and
    foo_2 ), it could be nice.

    May someone explain me the correct syntax for t_instName please? (or
    the page of documentation?)

    Thanks and regards,

    b.

    May someone explain me the correct syntax for t_instName please? (or
    The t_ prefix indicates that it should be a character string. It's just the name of the instance you
    wish to create, that's all there is to it...

    Valid names are documented at the same point as the functions beginning
    with "nmp"
