themselves—these always start at time 0. This delay only
suppresses the output for the first part of the simulation.
To limit file size by suppressing the first part of transient
simulation output
1 From Capture’s PSpice menu, choose Edit Simulation
Settings to display the Simulation Settings dialog box.
2 Click the Analysis tab.
3 From the Analysis type list, select the
Time Domain (Transient) option.
4 In the Start saving data after text box, type a delay
time.
5 Click OK to close the Simulation Settings dialog box.
6 From the PSpice menu, choose Run to start the
simulation.
The simulation begins, but no data is stored until after
the delay has elapsed.
Using simulation data from multiple files
You can load simulation data from multiple files into the
same Probe window by appending waveform data files.
When more than one waveform data file is loaded, you
can add traces using all loaded data, data from only one
file, or individual data sections from one or more files.
Appending waveform data files
To append a waveform data file
1 In PSpice, from the File menu, choose
Append Waveform (.DAT).
2 Select a *.DAT file to append, and click OK.
