This means you need to start the Model Editor from the schematic editor after selecting a part instance on your schematic. The schematic editor automatically attaches the new model implementation (that the Model Editor creates) to the selected part instance. To find out more, see Running the Model Editor from the schematic editor on page 215. ■ To examine or verify the electrical characteristics of a model without running PSpice. This means you can use the Model Editor alone to: ❑ check characteristics of a model quickly, given a set of model parameter values, or ❑ compare characteristic curves to data sheet information or measured data. To find out more, see Running the Model Editor alone on page 202. ■ To add and modify a model definition for parameterized or template-based PSpice models. This means you can create new parameterized models. You can also edit the existing models in the parameterized libraries to modify the values of simulation parameters. ■ Adding and editing smoke data to the models supported by the Model Editor. If you have Advanced Analysis installed on your machine, you can use the Model Editor to add smoke information to device characteristic curves-based PSpice models. Editing of smoke information is possible for all types of PSpice models. Running the Model Editor alone Run the Model Editor alone if you want to do any of the following: ■ create a model and use the model in any design (and automatically create a part), ■ create a model and have the model definition available to any design (without creating a part), or
