Once a simulation is in progress, you can monitor the results for
the data section currently being written by PSpice A/D. This
function is only available when Monitor Waveforms (Auto-
Update) is not enabled in Schematics in the Probe Setup Options
dialog box.

a simulation
1
Start the simulation as described in Starting Simulation on
page 8-11.
2
In Schematics, from the Analysis menu, select Run Probe.
Probe automatically opens the data file and the data section
that PSpice is currently writing.
When started during a simulation, the Probe window
monitors the waveforms for as long as the current data
section is being written. After the data section is finished,
the window reverts to manual mode.

Probe
You can pause a simulation to analyze waveforms before the
simulation is finished. Once you pause the simulation, you can
either resume the simulation or terminate it.
To pause a simulation and then run Probe
1
In the PSpice A/D simulation status window, from the File
menu, select Pause Simulation.
2
From the File menu, select Run Probe and verify that the
analysis is proceeding correctly.
3
Do one of the following:
• In the PSpice A/D simulation status window, from the File
menu, select Pause Simulation to clear the check mark.
• In the PSpice A/D simulation status window, from the File
menu, select Terminate Simulation.
