Viewing waveforms while simulating
While a simulation is in progress, you can monitor the
results for the data section being written by PSpice. This
function is only available when the Display Probe
window during simulation option is enabled in the Probe
Window tab of the Simulation Settings dialog box.
To monitor results during a simulation
1 From Capture’s PSpice menu, choose Edit Simulation
Settings to display the Simulation Settings dialog box.
2 Click the Probe Window tab.
3 Select Display Probe window and then click during
simulation.
4 Click OK to close the Simulation Settings dialog box.

profile is opened.
Waveforms are displayed only when a
.DAT file is opened from within PSpice.
Display Probe
window... during
simulation.
Waveforms are displayed as the
simulation progresses (“marching
waveforms”).
Display Probe
window... after
simulation has
completed.
Waveforms are displayed only after the
full simulation has completed and all
data has been calculated.
Show... all markers
on open schematics.
Waveforms are displayed for those nets
that have markers attached in the
schematic.
Show... last plot.
Waveforms are displayed according to
the last display configuration that was
used in the Probe window.
