PSPICE-FOR-TI: Changing name of signals on charts

Part Number: PSPICE-FOR-TI

How can I rename the signal names on charts?

I have signals name of V(U1:1), I(R2) etc.... on x-axises. As I see, renaming of nets are not enough. The result is in format of V(NETNAME).

I would like to get readable names like this: "Average Power", "Input power", SW_AVG_POWR_LOSS etc... as in the picture below.

like this:

    Hi Attila,

    I believe most users prefer to be able to see the actual expression. To the least, they can see the nature of a signal. But sometimes the expressions may get long and easily forgotten if you replacing them with names that made sense when entered.

    If you still prefer those names, I would suggest you take a look at the text labels.

    Thanks,

    Hi JC,

    Text label is an other object. My target question talkes about changing of probe name.

    When I use complex formulas, then it can be usefull to use shorter names. How can I rename the red probe name below?

    As you can see, I can put text label to the sheet, but I can not rename the probe. Probe names could be more complex (and longer) and it is very problematic.

    I am thinking yet, maybe this feature is not available in "PSpice for TI".

    How peoples made it?

    Attila,

    Would you please clarify what you mean by "it" in your last question?

    Thanks,

    I have found the solution in manual.

    To replace probe names, it need to use a special syntax.

    <probe name>;<other name>

    e.g. Probe name is "S(W(U1))/(time-3.9ms)" and I would like to show is as label of "AVG_POWER", then I have to use this syntax under formula definition:

    "S(W(U1))/(time-3.9ms);AVG_POWER"
