Plotting
*fter the simulation is complete a new window will appear. ;ecause we placed $olta%e mar&ers at the inputs and output of the circuit these two $olta%e traces are automatically plotted.

Plotting Additional Traces

To plot additional traces after a simulation has run. 11) In the window with the simulation results select9 Traces() Add Trace 1") The pop-up menu below will appear On the left hand side are all the voltages and currents that are available to plot. On the right hand side are mathematical functions that can be performed on these values. The output variables are sensibly named: currents begin with an I, voltages with a V. For example I !"# is the current going through the resistor !". 12) (elect the current throu%h resistor )1 1,) Clic& +%-) - to close the window and plot the current

Delete the $olta%e probe at the input and replace the 'sin part with either a 'ac or 'src part from the (ource .ibrary. It is possible to add a dc offset to this *C source here we ha$e left it zero. <ote that the parameter 'ac is one. This is the amplitude of the *C si%nal. >sin% an amplitude of one, causes the transfer function to automatically be plotted.
