Specifying PSpice Node Name
Netlisting Preferences
By default, the PSpice netlister assigns names such as
$N_001 to nodes that are not explicitly labeled.
You can change the format that the netlister uses to create
these names by using a text editor and editing the
pspice.ini file in the Windows directory. Add a line to
the [SCHEMATICS] section in the form:
nltemplate=<prefix>%[minimum width]ld
The default value is:
nltemplate=$N_%04ld
The term ld must be in lowercase.
If [minimum width] begins with a zero, leading 0’s are
added if the number of characters in the node number is
less than the minimum width. For example, N%ld would
create node numbers N1, N2, N3 instead of $N_001,
$N_002, $N_003.
