Viewing analog results in the PSpice window The design entry tools 1 , Capture and Design Entry HDL, provides a special WATCH1 part that lets you monitor voltage values for up to three nets in your schematic as a DC sweep, AC sweep or transient analysis proceeds. Results are displayed in PSpice. To display voltage values in the PSpice window 1. Place and connect a WATCH1 part (from the PSpice library SPECIAL) on an analog net. 2. In Capture, double-click the WATCH1 part instance to display the Parts spreadsheet. In Design Entry HDL, choose Text - Attributes and click the WATCH1 part to display the Attributes dialog box. : 3. In the ANALYSIS property column, type DC, AC, or TRAN (transient) for the type of analysis results you want to see. 4. Enter values in the LO and HI properties columns to define the lower and upper bounds, respectively, on the values you expect to see on this net. Note: If the results move outside of the specified bounds, PSpice pauses the simulation so that you can investigate the behavior. 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for up to two more WATCH1 instances. 6. Start the simulation. 1. In this guide, design entry tool is used for both OrCAD Capture and Design Entry HDL. Any differences between the two tools is mentioned, if necessary.
