Visual cue	Narration
Show Slide: Opening Slide	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Creating a Device Model in eSim.
Show Slide: Learning Objectives	In this tutorial, using 'eSim we will learn - To create a Germanium Diode from an existing Device Model and To edit a current Device Model.
Show Slide: Systems Requirements	To record this tutorial, we will use- Ubuntu Linux OS 16.04 eSim version 2.0
Show Slide: Prerequisites	To practice this tutorial, To create a circuit schematic and simulate the netlist file in eSim. If not, watch the prerequisite eSim tutorials on this website.
Show Slide: Device Models	The device model file begins with a dot model statement. mname indicates the model name like diode model 1N4007, 1N4148. Component type indicates the type of model used. For example: D is used for Diode, M for MOSFET, and NPN or PNP for BJT. pname is the parameter name and pval is the parameter value.
Show Slide: Device Models in eSim	The model components are already added in eSim. They are referred to as templates. The templates are in a tabular form with parameter names and values. The Device Model libraries are used for the components present in eSim underscore Devices.
System Computer: Desktop icon	To launch eSim, you need to double-click on the eSim icon on your Desktop.
System Computer: eSim startup window	I have already opened eSim.
eSim Main Window: Click on Model Editor	Click New button in the Model Editor tab. A New Model pop up window appears. Type the Model Name as Germanium underscore Diode. Click on the OK button.
