Back to Analyzing the simulation results with the post processor (oscilloscope)
This article refers to the oscilloscope of the TARGET 3001! simulation.
Contents
Zoom
USER: Draw up a zoom window with the left mouse button (from left to right) of an interesting part of the graphs.
TARGET: Only the selected area will be displayed.
USER: Select a further (smaller) zoom window.
USER: Press the right mouse button.
TARGET: The previous zoom range will be shown again (undo zooming is possible several times).
USER: Scroll
USER: Press the left mouse button on an arbitrary position and drag from right to left.
TARGET: The graphs will be fitted into the oscilloscope window.
USER: Specify a zoom range in the zoom dialog (menu view/zoom) numerically.
View
USER: Activate/Deactivate the cross hair cursor.
USER: Switch on/off the grid.
USER: Switch on/off the logarithmic x-axis (do not switch on, if x-axis begins with zero).
Cursor
INFO: The coordinates of the cursor are indicated in the status line at the bottom of the window.
USER: Couple cursor position to a graph (menu edit).
TARGET: The cross hair cursor remains in y-direction on the selected graph.
USER: Release the cursor with the key ESC.
Switch on relative coordinates
INFO: Hereby it is possible to measure distances (e.g. between two voltage peaks).
USER: Set the origin of the relative coordinate system: Move the cursor to the desired point and press the key Pos1.
TARGET: The relative coordinate system becomes visible with the selected origin.
USER: Switch off the relative coordinate system with a doubletap on Pos1.
Input/Output
Clipboard
USER: Copy graphs (selected range) to clipboard (menu edit).
INFO: Some vector graphic programs (e.g. Corel Draw or Ms Word) can import the graphs from the clipboard (mostly with the menu edit/insert).
Print:
USER: Switch on/off color printing (menu view/color printer).
USER: Print (menu file).
Save
USER: Save as (menu file).
USER: Select file format "Text" or "PSpice-Probe-Text".
INFO: The simple text format is readable e.g. in Excel. The post processor of PSpice (among other things) is able to import PSpice-Probe-Texts.
USER: Open (menu file).
INFO: So it is possible to import/reload graphs that have been saved as PSpice-Probe-Text.
