6. Select Probe tool to plot analog data and set run time test points as
shown in figure by green circle. Set it to TRAN ANALYSIS MODE as
shown below.

OUTPUT:

• To run the circuit select SimulationRun or press F10 or click on on

main toolbar.

• Two Output windows will appear as shown in figure.

⋅ one window will show the waveforms.

⋅ Another window will show the voltage at that point.

⋅ If we change the location of probe tool output will be changed

accordingly.
