Mutual Property: Property Number 14

This property appears with the properties of cells containing mutual inductors, and is not copied to instantiations of the cell. Mutual inductors do not appear as devices in the device library file, rather, they are implemented with this property. Mutual properties are generated by selecting the ``mut'' device from the device menu, with one property assigned for each mutual inductor pair in the circuit.
5 14 num name1 num1 name2 num2 coeff [name];

This property appears only in the list for symbol definitions, and not for instances. It defines a mutual inductor pair within the cell. The num is the index of the mutual inductor pair, used in forming the default specification to SPICE: ``Knum''. However, if the name appears (supplied in Xic by using the label editor on a mutual inductor label), the SPICE specification will use name (without num). The name1, num1, name2, num2 are the prefixes and assigned numbers of the inductors in the mutual inductor pair. The coeff is a string which represents the coupling factor as given to SPICE.
