Hi Craig and Yafei,

     Thank you all for the reply.  I am trying to
simulate a temperature compensation system on Hspice.
I did have a thought of using the combination of the
.param <variable=equation> and .temp <variable>, or
something similar to it to do the simulation in time
domain.   I am hoping that the expert on this form can
help me on this issue.

     The problem is that for such a system, you have
to
run it in the time domain in order to see if it is
indeed correcting correctly.  So it is hard to break
the simulation into either .alter or .meas, because in
a closed loop system I need to run it in the time
domain.

     Any other suggestion would be greatly
appreciated.

Regards,

Timo
