GENERATOR: Signal Generator time dependent value

## 4.6 `GENERATOR`: Signal Generator time dependent value

### 4.6.1 Syntax

`GENERATOR` scale

### 4.6.2 Purpose

The component ``value'' is dependent on a ``signal generator'', manipulated by the ``generator'' command.

### 4.6.3 Comments

For transient analysis, the ``value'' is determined by a signal generator, which is considered to be external to the circuit and part of the test bench. See the ``generator'' command for more information.
For AC analysis, the value here is the amplitude.
Strictly, all of the functionality and more is available through the Spice-like behavioral modeling functions, but this one provides a user interface closer to the function generator that an analog designer would use on a real bench. It is mainly used for interactive operation.
It also provides backward compatibility with predecessors to Gnucap, which used a different netlist format.
