Select it using the left mouse button and you will then see a description of this part in the Description pane. In this case we will start by scrolling the component window on the left down until we see the part "r". You can select any of a great variety of predefined parts to enter using the Parts Browser. You will then see the Parts Browser dialog box as shown below. Go to the draw menu and select Get New Part. You typically begin a project by entering components. The first thing you have to do is draw the circuit in the PSpice Schematic capture program. DC Network for PSpice Simulation Figure 4 shows the DC circuit you will enter. We will consider two example circuits: (1) the output characteristics of a DC network with multiple sources and (2) the DC transfer function of an operational amplifier circuit.įigure 4. This method of entering your circuit is called schematic capture. The function of the schematics program is to present an interface for you, the user, to draw a circuit on the screen and translate it into a form called a netlist which can be used for detailed circuit analysis. Note that you need to click on a point in the drawing for the program to zoom about.įigure 3. You can zoom in and out using the View menu, or you can use the commands CTRL+I to zoom in and CTRL-O to zoom out. The window shows a standard engineering drawing. This is the top yellow icon on the left side of the Design Manager window. This is done by clicking on the icon of a pencil drawing a circuit. To enter a circuit you must start the schematic capture program, PSpice Schematics. This is Orcad's Design Manager from which you can enter schematics and simulate circuits. If PSpice was correctly installed you should get a window similar to the image shown below.
PSPICE SCHEMATICS INSTALL
Once you install Microsim PSpice A/D on your machine all you need to do is select “PSpice Student / Pspice Design Manager” from the Programs Menu as shown below.įigure 1. The text only version (Version 6 and earlier) is MUCH smaller - for example, Version 6.0 for the Macintosh is only 3.7 MB - BUT YOU HAVE TO PROGRAM THE CIRCUIT AND ANALYSIS OF THE DATA. Since this is a new version of the program we have not determined which specific modules you need yet and it should be possible to cut the installed size down considerably. A word of warning: the “compact” installation takes about 36 MB.
PSPICE SCHEMATICS SOFTWARE
CD-ROMs with the installation software are available from the instrument room.
