• Right-click a Variable Node and select Change from the menu

The DesignSpaceVariable dialog has an ApplicationModelVariable list, a Type dropdown, a Current Value box, Minimum and Maximum value textboxes, Continuous, Round to, and Increment by radio buttons, Round to and Increment by textboxes, and OK, Cancel and Help buttons.

Variable List

This is a list of all ApplicationModelVariable names that represent VariableSpecifications that are eligible for DesignSpaceVariables. Select the name of the ApplicationModelVariable you wish to manipulate.

Type Dropdown

The Type dropdown specifies the value type of the DesignSpaceVariable. Supported types include Real, Integer and Binary. Real is any real numeric value. Integer is any integer numeric value. Binary variables have the value of 0 or 1.

Current Value Box

This displays the current value of the selected ApplicationModelVariable.

Minimum Value Textbox

This is the minimum value for the selected ApplicationModelVariable which limits the size of the Design space

Maximum Value Textbox

This is the maximum value for the selected ApplicationModelVariable which limits the size of the Design space

Continuous Radio Button

Checking this option means that the DesignSpaceVariable may assume any value from the Minimum to the Maximum value.

Round to Radio Button and Textbox

Checking this option means that DesignSpaceVariable values will be rounded to the value specified in the Round to textbox.

Increment by Radio Button and Textbox
