Deleting and removing traces
To delete a trace from the displayed screen, select the trace
name by clicking on its name, then press X. This will
only erase the display of the trace, not delete it from your
file. The trace is still available by selecting Get from the
Stimulus menu.
To remove a trace from a file, select Remove from the
Stimulus menu.
Note
Once a trace is removed, it is no longer retrievable. Delete traces
with caution.
Manual stimulus configuration
Stimuli can be characterized by manually starting the
Stimulus Editor and saving their specifications to a file.
These stimulus specifications can then be associated to
stimulus instances in your schematic or to stimulus
symbols in the symbol library.
To manually configure a stimulus
1 Start the Stimulus Editor by double-clicking on the
Stimulus Editor icon in the OrCAD program group.
2 Open a stimulus file by selecting Open from the File
menu. If the file is not found in your current library
search path, you are prompted for a new file name.
3 Create one or more stimuli to be used in your
schematic. For each stimulus:
a Name it whatever you want. This name will be
used to associate the stimulus specification to the
stimulus instance in your schematic, or to the
symbol in the symbol library.
b Provide the transient specification.
c From the File menu, choose Save.
