10.1 Defining Runtime Parameters

All parameters must be declared in a Config file with the keyword declaration PARAMETER. In the Config file, assign a data type and a default value for the parameter. If possible, assign a range of valid values for the parameter. You can also provide a short description of the parameter's function in a comment line that begins with D.

 

#section of Config file for a Simulation
D myParameter Description of myParameter
PARAMETER myParameter REAL 22.5  [20 to 60]

To change the runtime parameter's value from the default, assign a new value in the flash.par for the simulation.

 

#snippet from a flash.par
myParameter = 45.0

See Sec:Config for more information on declaring parameters in a Config file.
