10 Simulation Examples
Note that the current through VIN is negative. By convention,
PSpice A/D measures the current through a two terminal device
into the first terminal and out of the second terminal. For voltage
sources, current is measured from the positive terminal to the
negative terminal; this is opposite to the positive current flow
convention and results in a negative value in the output file.

You can visually verify the DC response of the clipper by
performing a DC sweep of the input voltage source and
displaying the waveform results in Probe. This example sets up
DC sweep analysis parameters to sweep Vin from -10 to 15 volts
in 1 volt increments.
