class modelEditor.ModelEditor.ModelEditorclass(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any)

  • Initialise the layout for dockarea

  • Use QVBoxLayout, QSplitter, QGridLayout to define the layout

  • Initalise directory to save new models, savepathtest = ‘library/deviceModelLibrary’

  • Initialise buttons and options ====>

    • Name Function Called

  • Save savemodelfile

  • Upload converttoxml

  • Add addparameters

  • Remove removeparameter

  • Diode diode_click

  • MOS mos_click

  • JFET jfet_click

  • IGBT igbt_click

  • Magnetic Core magnetic_click

addparameters()

  • Called when Add button clicked beside QTableWidget

  • Open up dialog box to enter parameter and value accordingly

  • Validate if parameter already in list of parameters

  • Accordingly add parameter and value in modeldict as well as table

  • text1 => parameter, text2 => value

bjt_click()

  • Set states for other elements

  • Initialise types combo box elements

    • NPN

    • PNP

  • Open the default type in the table

  • Add an event listener for type-selection event

converttoxml()

  • Called when upload button clicked

  • Used to read file form a certain location for .lib extension

  • Accordingly parse it and extract modelname and modelref

  • Also extract param value pairs

  • Take input the name of the library you want to save it as

  • Save it in User Libraries with the given name,

and input from uploaded file

createXML(model_name)

  • Create .xml and .lib file if new model is being created

  • Save it in the corresponding compoenent directory, example Diode, IGBT..

  • For each component, separate folder is there

  • Check the contents of .lib and .xml file to understand their structure

createtable(modelfile)

  • Set states for other components

  • Initialise QTable widget

  • Set options for QTable widget

  • Place QTable widget, using self.grid.addWidget

  • Select the .xml file from the modelfile passed as .lib

  • Use ET (xml.etree.ElementTree) to parse the xml file

  • Extract data from the XML and store it in modeldict

  • Show the extracted data in QTableWidget

  • Can edit QTable inplace, connect edit_modeltable function for editing

diode_click()

  • Call function, openfiletype, which opens the table view for Diode specs

  • Set states for other elements

  • Diode has no types, so hide that

edit_modeltable()

  • Called when editing model inplace in QTableWidget

  • Set states of other components

  • Get data from the modeltable of the selected row

  • Edit name and value as per needed

  • Add the val name pair in the modeldict

igbt_click()

  • Set states for other elements

  • Initialise types combo box elements

    • N-IGBT

    • P-IGBT

  • Open the default type in the table

  • Add an event listener for type-selection event

jfet_click()

  • Set states for other elements

  • Initialise types combo box elements

    • N-JFET

    • P-JFET

  • Open the default type in the table

  • Add an event listener for type-selection event

magnetic_click()

  • Set states for other elements

  • Initialise types combo box elements

  • Open the default type in the table

  • Add an event listener for type-selection event

  • No types here, only one view

mos_click()

  • Set states for other elements

  • Initialise types combo box elements

    • NMOS(Level-1 5um)

    • NMOS(Level-3 0.5um)

    • …

  • Open the default type in the table

  • Add an event listener for type-selection event

openedit()

  • When Edit button clicked, this function called

  • Set states for other buttons accordingly

  • Open the file selector box with path as deviceModelLibrary

and filetype set as .lib, save it in self.editfile - Create table for the selected .lib file using self.createtable(path) - Handle exception of no file selected

openfiletype(filetype)

  • Select path for the filetype passed

  • Accordingly call createtable(path) to draw tables usingg QTable

  • Check for the state of button before rendering

opennew()

  • To create New Model file

  • Change state of other buttons accordingly, ex. enable diode, bjt, …

  • Validate filename created, to check if one already exists

removeparameter()

  • Get the index of the current selected item

  • Remove the whole row from QTable Widget

  • Remove the param,value pair from modeldict

savemodelfile()

  • Called when save functon clicked

  • If new file created, call createXML file

  • Else call savethefile

savethefile(editfile)

  • This function save the editing in the model table

  • Create .lib and .xml file for the editfile path and replace them

  • Also print Updated Library with libpath in the command window

setfiletype(text)

  • Triggered when each type selected

  • Get the type clicked, from text

  • Open appropriate table using openfiletype(filetype)

validation(text)

  • This function checks if the file (xml type) with the name already exists

  • Accordingly show error message
