Important Renaming of X-axis is useful when you want to import a trace and append it to an existing data file for comparing traces. To be able to append two traces successfully, you need to ensure that for both the traces the range and the name of the variable plotted on the X-axis should be same. Adding traces from specific loaded waveform data files If two or more waveform data files have identical simulation output variables, trace expressions that include those variables generate traces for each file. However, you can specify which waveform data file to use in the trace expression. You can also determine which waveform data file was used to generate a specific trace. To add a trace from a specific loaded waveform data file 1. In PSpice, from the Trace menu, choose Add Trace to display the Add Traces dialog box. The Simulation Output Variables list in the Add Traces dialog box contains the output variables for all loaded waveform data files. 2. In the Trace Expression text box, type an expression using the following syntax: trace_expression@fn where n is the numerical order (from left to right) of the waveform data file as it appears in the PSpice title bar, or trace_expression@s@fn where s is a specific data section of a specific waveform data file. Example: To plot the V(1) output for data section 1 from the second data file loaded, type the following trace expression: V(1)@1@f2 You can also use the name of the loaded data file to specify it. For example, to plot the V(1) output for all data sections of a loaded data file, MYFILE.DAT, type the following trace expression: V(1)@"MYFILE.DAT"
