The AWR Design Environment supports a parameter syntax that allows one parameter to have the same value as another model parameter without the need for equations. The general parameter syntax is <Parameter>@<Model>.<ID>. Where <Parameter> is the parameter of the referenced model, <Model> is the name of the referenced model and <ID> is the ID of the referenced model. For example, see the picture below showing the top MLIN being the control element and the bottom MLIN has this parameter definition type setup.

For several parameters, typing in these values is simple. This gets more complicated if there are many parameters that need to be set or if many elements need to reference one model. This script helps with this process by selecting the items that should be linked together and then selecting which of the items will be in control and then assigning all of the parameters of the other times to match this model.

For example, see the schematic below that has 3 MTRACE elements. The top MTRACE is routed and the bottom two should mirror the top element.

The situation above has all three MTRACE's selected and one of the ports accidentally. When the script was run MTRACE2.X1 was selected as the control element.

When the script is done, the schematics and layout have changed as shown below.

The log file shows exactly which model was the control model, what model parameters changed and also if models did not match the control element that nothing was changed.
