TINA/Spice: Saving Plot (transient analysis) Options

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TINA-TI

Tool/software: TINA-TI or Spice Models

Hi,

I'm running transient analysis in TINA that plots several output waveforms. The plots initially appear in one XY graph and using the View tab, I can choose to have the curves plotted separately. Clicking at the axis area in the plot and choosing properties, I can set axis properties like the number of ticks and upper/lower limit scale. I have to do these steps though every time I run transient analysis. Is there a way to save these settings so that I won't have to repeat these steps each time I run transient analysis?

Thanks for any tips regarding this.

Regards,

Joseph

Hi Joseph,

Short answer is Yes. Go to Analysis >> Settings then check the yellow box below. If you are new to TINA-TI, I would recommend going through the training series listed below. It covers lot of the basic functionality.

Hi Nikhil,

This is what I tried the first time but this did not preserve the settings. I must be missing some steps...

Thanks and regards,
Joseph

Joseph,

Give it a try. If it does not work, let us know.

Hi Nikhil,

I enabled the "Remember diagram settings" and matched all the other settings in your screen capture and it did not work for me, meaning that I had to set the view settings as well as the curve property (for the scale resolution) each time I run analysis.

Resolved offline:

1. Curves can be separated by default by adding ":1" at the end of any probe on the schematic. This will separate all the waveform into individual panes and place this waveform as the 1st one. Similarly, you can add ":2", ":3", etc. at the end to provide the order of the waveform.

2. Remember diagram settings can be used for remembering the scale of the X and Y axis between simulations runs. What is does not remember is the precision of the axis display. If that is changed from a default value of 2, in subsequent runs it defaults to 2 again and does not remember the previous setting.
