AC Sweep

The AC Sweep dialog allows you to set the conditions for AC analysis. The conditions set in this dialog are output as the .AC statements of the simulator. To make this dialog available, select AC Sweep in the Analysis Conditions dialog. Launch it by double-clicking an item in the AC Sweep folder in the SPICE Controller Manager, Analysis Tree, or by right-clicking it and selecting Open.

 

Note
  • Values that you specify in this dialog must not contain spaces.
  • When you select AC Sweep in the Analysis Conditions dialog, the DC Sweep and Transient items are made unavailable.

 

Item   Description
Linear   Analysis is performed from a sweep start value through a sweep end value by splitting using the specified step value.
  Start frequency Input a sweep start frequency, without units. The following prefixes can be used.
  Stop frequency Input a sweep end frequency, without units. The following prefixes can be used.
  Step Input the sweep variation.
Decade   Analysis is performed from a sweep start value by splitting using the specified number of points on a decade basis.
  Start frequency Input a sweep start frequency.
  Stop frequency Input a sweep end frequency.
  Points per decade Input the number of points for the decade.
Octave   Analysis is performed from a sweep start value by splitting using the specified number of points on an octave basis.
  Start frequency Input a sweep start frequency.
  Stop frequency Input a sweep end frequency.
  Points per octave Input the number of points for the octave.
List   Specify the required frequency values as a list, with a separate value on each row. The list of values do not have to form a regular pattern. There is no limit to the number of values that you can specify.
OK   Saves the specified settings to the  to the SPICE Controller Manager, and closes the dialog.
Cancel   Closes the dialog without saving any unsaved changes.
Apply   Saves the specified settings to the SPICE Controller Manager. The dialog remains open.
