In the Available Sections dialog box, click the All button. 5. Click OK. 6. To display current through the Meter voltage source, do the following: a. From Capture's PSpice menu, point to markers and choose Current into Pin. b. Place a current probe on the left-hand pin of the Meter source. 7. Switch to the Probe window to see the family of curves for I(Meter) as a function of P. Another way to view the family of curves without using schematic markers is as follows: a. From PSpice's Trace menu, choose Add Trace. b. In the Simulation Output Variables list, double-click I(Meter). Note: For more on analyzing Monte Carlo results in PSpice, see the next section on Monte Carlo histograms. Monte Carlo Histograms You can display data derived from Monte Carlo waveform families as histograms. This is part of the performance analysis feature. In this example, you simulate a fourth-order Chebyshev active filter, running a series of 100 AC analyses while randomly varying resistor and capacitor values for each run. Then, having defined performance analysis measurements for bandwidth and center frequency, you observe the statistical distribution of these quantities for the 100 runs. For more information about performance analysis, see RLC filter example on page 513. Chebyshev filter example The Chebyshev filter is designed to have a 10 kHz center frequency and a 1.5 kHz bandwidth. The schematic page for the filter is shown in Figure 13-7 on page 583. The stimulus specifications for V1, V2, and V3 are:
