PSpice A/D User Guide Analyzing waveforms October 2019 702 Product Version 17.4-2019 © 2022 All Rights Reserved. Using schematic page markers to add traces You can place markers on a schematic page to identify the nodes for which you want waveforms displayed in Probe. See Trace expressions on page 767 for ways to add traces within PSpice A/D. You can place markers: ■ Before simulation, to limit results written to the waveform data file and automatically display those traces in PSpice A/D. ■ During or after simulation, with PSpice A/D running, to automatically display traces in the active Probe window. After simulation, the color of the marker you place is the same as its corresponding waveform analysis trace. If you change the color of the trace, the color of the marker on the schematic page changes accordingly. The Markers submenu also provides options for controlling the display of marked results in PSpice A/D, after initial marker placement, and during or after simulation. Power markers allow you to measure the power dissipation of a particular device. You can use these markers in the same way you use current and voltage markers. Power markers are annotated with "W" and are placed on devices that have PSpice models. The corresponding power dissipation waveforms for the devices will be calculated and displayed in Probe. Place markers on subcircuit nodes. This allows you to perform cross-probing between the front-end design entry tool and PSpice A/D at the lower level circuits of a hierarchical design. To place markers on a schematic page 1. From Capture's PSpice menu, point to Markers, then choose the marker type you want to place. Similarly, from Design Entry HDL's PSpice Simulator menu, point to Probes, then choose the
