When you change your schematic, the voltage and current
values displayed from a previous simulation may no longer be
valid. As a reminder, you can have Schematics change the color
of the “stale” voltage and current labels.
The procedure to change the label color is the same as that
described for active voltage and current labels on page 18-9
,
except that you need to set the colors for a different display layer
as follows.

on Your Schematic
Automatic bias information display for pin currents works only
with part instances that are defined by PSpice A/D models
(built-in or provided in the libraries). Because a hierarchical
symbol is defined by a subschematic—not a PSpice A/D
model—you need to use an IPROBE symbol connected in series
with the symbol’s pin to view current on that pin. See Using the
IPROBE Symbol to Display Current on page 18-11.

Stale.

If you push to the

a hierarchical symbol, then

ou can use the automatic

feature described earlier in
this chapter.
