This does not affect the transient calculations themselves—these always start at time 0. This delay only suppresses the output for the first part of the simulation. Note: Suppressing part of the data from a run also limits the size of the PSpice output file. To limit file size by suppressing the first part of transient simulation output 1. From Capture's PSpice menu, choose Edit Simulation Profile to display the Simulation Settings dialog box. 2. Click the Analysis tab. 3. From the Analysis type list, select the Time Domain (Transient) option. 4. In the Start saving data after text box, type a delay time. 5. Click OK to close the Simulation Settings dialog box. 6. From the PSpice menu, choose Run to start the simulation. The simulation begins, but no data is stored until after the delay has elapsed. Viewing large data files At times there are situations where you cannot reduce the size of the data file being generated, but would like to load large data files on to the Probe for viewing the trace. As PSpice depends on system memory for loading and displaying any trace, if the data file is so large that cannot be loaded, the trace does not get displayed at all. Usually data files with size greater than 2 GB are considered to be large data files. Whether a data file can be categorized as large depends on the size of the data file and the number of traces within the data file. For example, a data file that has 10 traces and is of 2 GB may not be a large data file. But if a data file has single trace and is of 2 GB or more, it can be termed as a large data file.
