AI Thread Summary
PSPICE users are seeking a method to graph signals without repeatedly using the Trace>Add-Trace function after each simulation run. The discussion highlights the desire for a more efficient way to refresh signals, especially during AC analysis. There is a mention of the sticky plot setup feature in MicroCAP, suggesting a potential limitation in PSPICE's Student Edition. Participants recommend checking the readme or help files for guidance on plot configurations and any restrictions of the Student Edition. The conversation also briefly shifts to a request for assistance with plotting steady-state temperature of a resistor using PSPICE.

Is there a way to tell PSPICE to graph a signal without having to go to Trace>Add-Trace and selecting the signals each time? If I added a signal and then change a component value slightly and run the simulation, is there a way I can refresh the signal without having to go through the add trace method over and over again?

I don't know about PSPICE, but in MicroCAP, the plot setup is sticky. What analysis are you running (AC, DC, Transient, etc.)?
 
I am trying to perform AC analysis. Thank you for your reply.
 
Do you have the Student Edition of PSPICE? If so, I won'der if the sticky nature of plot setups is disabled for that edition. Maybe check out the readme/help files about setting up the plot configurations, and also the limitations of the Student Edition.
 
Hi frndz can anyone tell me homework to plot steady state temperature of resistor using pspice.
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
