Same Parameter Containing Different Types

Parent category: Violations Associated with Parameters

Default report mode:

Summary

This violation occurs when two parameters possessing the same name have been assigned to the same design object, but the parameters have differing types.

Notification

If compiler errors and warnings are enabled for display on the schematic (enabled on the Schematic - Compiler page of the Preferences dialog), an offending object will display a colored squiggle beneath it. A notification is also displayed in the Messages panel in the following format:

Same parameter contains different types <Object> <Types> ,

where:

Object is the particular object to which the offending parameter is associated.

Types shows the different types for the parameter as a pairing (e.g., BOOLEAN and STRING).

Recommendation for Resolution

Typically, you would not have multiple parameters of the same name associated to an object. Review the parameters assigned to the object and remove the erroneous/redundant one.
