Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the functionality of PSPICE in graphing signals during simulations, specifically focusing on whether there is a method to refresh signal traces without repeatedly using the Trace>Add-Trace option. The context includes technical inquiries related to simulation setups and potential limitations of different PSPICE editions.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the ability to graph a signal in PSPICE without repeatedly adding traces after each simulation run.
  • Another participant mentions a different software, MicroCAP, noting its plot setup is "sticky," and asks what type of analysis is being performed.
  • A participant clarifies they are conducting AC analysis.
  • There is a suggestion to check if the Student Edition of PSPICE has limitations regarding plot setups, with a recommendation to consult the readme/help files for more information.
  • A separate participant requests assistance with a homework problem related to plotting the steady state temperature of a resistor using PSPICE.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not reach a consensus on the capabilities of PSPICE regarding signal tracing, and multiple viewpoints regarding software functionality and limitations are presented.

Contextual Notes

Participants mention potential limitations of the Student Edition of PSPICE, but do not provide specific details on how these limitations affect the plotting functionality.

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.
