PSpice User Guide Setting up analyses and starting simulation October 2019 422 Product Version 17.4-2019 © 1999-2019 All Rights Reserved. Output variables Certain analyses (such as noise, Monte Carlo, sensitivity/ worst-case, DC sensitivity, Fourier, and small-signal DC transfer function) require you to specify output variables for voltages and currents at specific points on the schematic. Depending upon the analysis type, you may need to specify the following: ■ Voltage on a net, a pin, or at a terminal of a semiconductor device ■ Current through a part or into a terminal of a semiconductor device ■ A device name If output variables or other information are required, select Output File Options in the Monte Carlo/Worst Case dialog box and enter the required parameters. Voltage Specify voltage in the following format: A fully qualified net name (as referred to in line 3 above) is formed by prefixing the visible net name (from a label applied to one of the segments of a wire or bus, or an offpage port connected to the net) with the full hierarchical path, separated by periods. At the top level of hierarchy, this is just the visible name. A fully qualified device name (from line 4 above) is distinguished by specifying the full hierarchical path followed by the device's part reference, separated by period characters. For example, a resistor with part reference R34 inside part Y1 placed on a top-level v[modifiers]([,]) (1) where is: or (2) is a fully qualified net name (3) is : (4)
