6 Transient Analysis

Stimulus Files

The Stimulus Editor produces a file containing the stimuli with

their transient specification. These stimuli are defined as

simulator device declarations using the V (voltage source), I

(current source), and U STIM (digital stimulus generator) forms.

Since the Stimulus Editor produces these statements

automatically, you will never have to be concerned with their

syntax. However, if you are interested in a detailed description

of their syntax, see the descriptions of V and I devices in the

Analog Devices chapter and stimulus generator in the Digital

Devices chapter of the the online MicroSim PSpice A/D

Reference Manual.

Stimulus Files

In the schematic editor, Library and Include Files on the

Analysis menu allows you to view the list of stimulus files

pertaining to your current schematic, or to manually add, delete,

or change the stimulus file configuration. The Stimulus Library

Files list box displays all of the currently configured stimulus

files. One file is specified per line. Files can be configured as

either global to the Schematics environment or local to the

current schematic. Global files are marked with an asterisk (*)

after the file name.

When starting the Stimulus Editor from Schematics, stimulus

files are automatically configured (added to the list) as local to

the current schematic. Otherwise, new stimulus files can be

added to the list by entering the file name in the File Name text

box and then clicking on the Add Stimulus (local configuration)

or Add Stimulus* (global configuration) button. All other

commands work as described for model and include files in

Configuring Model Libraries
