Proteus VSM

Generator objects are like most other objects in Proteus; the same procedures for previewing
and orienting the generator before placement and editing, moving, re-orienting or deleting the
object after placement apply (see Generators and Probes in the reference manual).
As well as being dropped onto an existing wire, as we just did, generators may be placed on the
sheet, and wired up in the normal manner. If you drag a generator off a wire, then Proteus
assumes you want to detach it, and does not drag the wire along with it, as it would do for
components.
Notice how the generator is automatically assigned a reference - the terminal name IN.
Whenever a generator is wired up to an object (or placed directly on an existing wire) it is
assigned the name of the net to which it is connected. If the net does not have a name, then the
name of the nearest component pin is used by default.
Finally, we must edit the generator to define the pulse shape that we want. To edit the
generator, right click on it and select Edit Properties from the resulting context menu. Select the
High Voltage field and set the value to 10mV. Also set the pulse width to 0.5s.
