                    - parname (*str*): name of the parameter (not a RefDes)

    :param traceType: Type of traces for AC, noise, and FFT analysis:

                      - realImag: real and imaginary parts
                      - magPhase: magnitude and phse

    :param parList: List with parameter definitions, each item in the list must
                    be a tuple with the name and the value of a parameter. The
                    name must be a string, and the value a string, an integer,
                    a float, or a SPICE expression (between curly brackets).
                    The order of parameter definitions should be such that
                    SPICE can evaluate a numeric value for each parameter in a
                    non-recursive way.
