Analyzing the circuit

Circuit Simulation with SPICE OPUS

Abstract

All analyses in SPICE are started from the SPICE command window by typing the appropriate command. The command can also be a part of the .control block in the input file. In the latter case, the command is executed along with the rest of the .control block automatically after the circuit is loaded.

All analyses result in one or more groups of results called plots. Every plot consists of vectors. A vector is a one-dimensional array of real or complex values. Every plot has a default vector. The default vector usually represents the scale (i.e., time, frequency, sweep) for the remaining vectors in the plot.
