The PSpice Optimizer provides three easy ways to examine
tradeoffs between goals, constraints, and parameters. You can:
• Tweak parameter values to explore performance effects, or
change specification values to see how parameters change,
by entering new current values directly into the PSpice
Optimizer window.
• Exclude specifications and/or parameters that you
previously defined.
