Modifications to SPICE Pin Names
When importing a SPICE component, Electronics Desktop may modify pin names for compatibility with Electronics Desktop pin names and guarantee uniqueness of pin names.
- The following characters are invalid in Electronics Desktop pin names and are removed (squeezed out) from pin names: []<>{}&*<space>,\
- No other modification to pin names are made. Capitalization at the location of removed characters is not adjusted.
- A uniqueness test is performed. Any non-unique names have _## appended to the name, where ## is a number that increments until a unique name is generated. Pin names are processed in the order they are specified on the .subckt line. No check is performed to see if the name already has a _## in it and attempt to increment that number. Thus if there are two P_1 pins, the result is a P_1 pin and a P_1_1 pin.
