Markers dialog box

To open this dialog

In the Project manager, choose Marker List from the PSpice menu.

OR

In a PSpice schematic page, point to Markers on the PSpice menu and choose List.

Use this control... To do this...

Markers List

Display or hide markers on your design. Select the check box next to the listed marker to display markers on the schematic.

If the check box next to a marker is not selected, it is hidden and will not display in Capture. However, the marker still exists in the profile. This feature is useful for printing a design for documentation.

Go To

If only one marker is selected, click this button to open the schematic page that contains the marker.

Removing any or all markers from the list removes them from the schematic. You cannot undo the Remove or Remove All operation.

Remove All

Remove all markers from the list and from the design.

Remove

Remove the selected markers from the list and from the design.

Monte Carlo Worst-Case Output File Options dialog box

To open this dialog

Select the Monte Carlo/Worst Case option, from the Analysis tab of the Simulation Settings dialog box, and click the More Settings button.

Use this control... To do this...

Find

Find the indicated function on the values of the output variable and reduce these to a single value. The value is the basis for the comparisons between the nominal and subsequent runs. The following functions are available:

  • YMAX. Find the absolute value of the greatest difference in each waveform from the nominal run.
  • MAX. Find the maximum value of each waveform.
  • MIN. Find the minimum value of each waveform.
  • RISE_EDGE. Find the first occurrence of the waveform crossing above the threshold value. The waveform must have one or more points at or below the threshold value, followed by one above. The output value listed is the first point that the waveform increases above the threshold value.
  • FALL_EDGE. Find the first occurrence of the waveform crossing below the threshold value. The waveform must have one or more points above the threshold value, followed by one below. The output value listed is the first point that the waveform decreases below the threshold value.

Threshold value

Specify the value used in the RISE_EDGE and FALL_EDGE functions.

Evaluate only when the sweep variable is in the range

Specify a beginning and ending range to evaluate the sweep variable in.

List model parameter values in the output file for each turn

List the model parameter values in the output file for each run of the Monte Carlo/Worst Case analysis.

Multi-level Backup Settings dialog box

To back up your design, enter the values to determine the duration, number of backups and storage location.

To open this dialog

Choose Autobackup option from the Options menu.

Use this control... To do this...

Backup time (in minutes)

Enables you to determine the time after which Capture will perform automatic backup.

No of backups to keep

Enables you to determine the total number of backups that will be stored.

Directory for backup

Enables you to determine the storage location for the backup.
