Functions tab

A function is an argument that is not exposed to external access. The value of a function is generated by user-defined logic created in the
Library Designer
and by conditions that apply during instantiation.
A function can be either conditional or calculated:
  • A conditional function returns one of multiple possible results generated by expressions and based on IF/ELSE/ELSEIF logic. A conditional function allows for multiple branches and nesting.
  • A calculated function generates a single value, based on a single expression.
Functions are listed alphabetically under a single group heading named by the library object.
This table describes the commands available on the
