Warning messages are output about the following -- dubious features: -- -- 1. Nodes not attached to any transistors. -- 2. Nodes that can't be driven. -- 3. Nodes that don't drive anything. -- 4. Transistors that can't pass information. -- 5. Bidirectional transistors with no flow attributes. -- 6. Transistors between Vdd and Ground. RatioCmd: CmdProc; -- This command procedure checks the whole circuit to be sure -- that the nMOS ratio rules are obeyed. The command line may -- contain arguments of the form "limit value" to change the -- acceptable range for ratios. ratioLimit: INT; -- Maximum number of ratio error messages to be printed about -- any given incorrect ratio. totalRatioLimit: INT; -- Maximum total number of ratio error messages to print.
