Value Property: Property Number 2

The value property supplies a string to be used in the device line in SPICE output for the device ``value''. It should not appear if the device has a model property, and if it does, it will be ignored. The property is normally applied to device instances with the Properties command, but can appear in the device definition in the device library file to assign a default value for the device.

5 2 value;
The value is a string which may, for example, represent a floating point number specifying the component value, e.g., in ohms for a resistor. In general, any string can appear, and it may include hypertext references. A complex string would be necessary for a voltage source with functional dependence, for example.

The model and value properties are mutually exclusive, either can be supplied, but not both.
