&CELL: OPTIONS


CELL-PRINT

Switching on this option, will cause a detailed description of the cell to be printed at the time the cell section is left. The table contains amongst others the wire numbers which may be useful later on with SELECT.

The same listing can be obtained in the optimisation section using the PRINT-CELL command.

[This option is initially off but its setting is remembered from one cell section to the next.]


LAYOUT

Switching on this option, will cause a layout of the cell to be plotted when the cell section is left. The wire labels are shown. Mainly used to check typing mistakes visually.

[This option is initially off but its setting is remembered from one cell section to the next.]


ISOMETRIC

If the cell has a substantially bigger length in one direction than in the other, the layout plot will be distorted. If you specify the ISOMETRIC option, the x and y range of the layout plot are the same and the chamber will have a normal appearance.

This option has only effect on the layout plot, not on plots made in for instance the field and drift sections - where the aspect ratio is determined by projection method specified in the AREA statements. For instance, the 3D projection gives isometric plots, while CUT does not.

[This option is initially off, but its setting is remembered from one cell section to the next.]


WIRE-MARKERS

If active, wires will be plotted as markers and not as circles with the size of the wire.

This option, is shared between with the field, optionisation, drift and signal sections.

The type of marker used for a wire depends on the label that you have assigned to the wire in the ROWS listing. Each marker can be adjusted individually via the representations mechanism.

When the option is switched on, the correspodance between labels and REPRESENTATION is as follows:

Label Representation
S S-WIRES
P P-WIRES
C C-WIRES
other OTHER-WIRES

All wires are shown with the representation WIRES when the option is off.

[This option is initially off, but its setting is remembered from one cell section to the next.]


CHARGE-CHECK

Checks the quality of the capacitance matrix inversion.

Only meaningful if the capacitance matrix has indeed been inverted - in the vectorised executables, this is as a rule not done: the numerical quality of the charge calculation is higher if the capacitance equations are solved by other means than matrix inversion.

This option is initially off but its setting is remembered from one cell section to the next.
