Analysis Setup

	Select Analysis/Setup or click on the setup analysis icon to setup analysis. Analysis setup window will display.

DC Analysis (Bias Point Detail)	DC currents and voltages are automatically calculated. It is default.
Transient Analysis (Transient)	Transient analysis determines the output with respect to time.
DC Sweep	Change one or more DC voltage source at the same time. The output is with respect to the source being swept.
AC Sweep Analysis	AC Sweep Analysis determines the output with respect to the frequency.
Monte Carlo/Worst Case Analysis	Determines the output affected from the tolerances of the components.

RUNNING SIMULATION

Select Analysis/Simulate [F11] or click on the simulate icon to run simulation. After simulation, the DC values of voltage and current can be displayed when using DC bias point analysis. And the Probe will automatically open and all of the value of marker will appear on the plot. Message window will automatically open during simulation.

Viewing Results

MicroSim Probe is the waveform analyzer for Pspice simulations. In Probe, you can visually analyze and interactively manipulate the waveform data produced by circuit simulation.

·        Traces to the plot from marker

When voltage or current markers were marked in the schematic, the plot will automatically display. 

·        Add Additional Traces to the plot

Select Trace/Add [Insert] to add new traces.

Then choose from the left column

or in the Trace Expression, type name of the expression.

·        Add an Additional Plot

Select Plot/Add Plot to add a new plot. 

·        Add a Title to the Plot

Select Edit/Modify Title to modify the title. 

·        Change Axis Settings

Select Plot/Y-Axis settings or double-click on the y-axis to change the Y-Axis settings. 

Select Plot/X-Axis settings or double-click on the x-axis to change the X-Axis settings.

·        Add a Text Labels

Select Tools/Label/Text to add text label.  

·        Add probe cursors

Select Tools/Cursor/Display to add cursors on the plot.

A probe cursor box will appear. Coordinates of cursor will display. 

·        Split two probe cursor (A1, A2)

One cursor is selected by left mouse button and the other cursor is selected by right mouse button. 

 

·        Label a probe cursor coordinates

Using left mouse button or right mouse button to select the cursor,

Select Tools/label/Mark to label the cursor coordinates directly.
