The netlist editor displays the results of the schematic capture. It shows line numbers and colorizes the netlist lines. Other than that, the netlist editor is a simple text editor where you can make modifications to the netlist before running the circuit simulation.

A netlist is basically a line-by-line listing of circuit components together with the nodes the connect to. The netlist also includes analysis commands for the simulator. Please refer to the Ngspice documentation for a detailed description.

Note, that, any modifications you make to the netlist will be overwritten the next time you capture the schematic again.

The netlist editor uses the following color coding scheme:

• Component listing
• Analysis commands
• Model definitions
• Subcircuit definitions
• PRINT commands
• Errors
• Comments and circuit end markers
