Active Signals - saves results ONLY for signals shown in the Active Signals list. Use this option
when you want to minimize the size of the result file. Signals are restricted to node voltages and
supply currents.
Specifying simulation data to be displayed
When setting up a simulation you can choose which variables are automatically displayed in the Sim
Data Editor's Waveform Analysis window, after the analyses have been done.
The Available Signals region of the page shows a list of all available circuit signals that can be
plotted. Which signals are available is determined by the type of data that is being collected and saved
in the result document, set in the Collect Data For field.
To have a signal automatically plotted in the Waveform Analysis window, select the signal in the
Available Signals list and click the > button to move the signal into the Active Signals list.
Double-clicking on a signal moves it from one list to the other. You can select multiple signals in a list
by clicking-and-dragging the mouse over the signal list, or using the SHIFT and CTRL keys while
clicking on signals.
While including a signal in the Active Signals list causes the simulation results for that signal to be
automatically displayed in the Waveform Analysis window, once the simulation has finished, you can
use the controls in the Sim Data Editor to display any signal for which data was collected.
Notes
By default, the Simulator uses the Waveform Analysis window setup information from the previous
simulation run to display the simulation results. If you change the Active Signals list from a previous
simulation run, you must set the SimView Setup option to Show active signals for any changes to the
displayed waveforms to take effect. When this option is on, the Waveform Analysis window is reset to
its default condition and the plot waveforms are read from the dialog list, rather than from the previous
simulation run.
