Using New and Improved

Data Display Capabilities HINT


Data display has been
improved over MDS and Series
IV, although not all capabilities
in MDS and Series IV are
9
available in the first release of
the HP Advanced Design Sys-
tem. Some nice features
include:
You can use marker
read-outs in equations.
For example, filter band-
width or third-order inter-
cept point of a mixer can be
calculated from marker
readouts.
You can view matrices of
data in tabular format,
two-dimensions at a time.
To facilitate viewing
results, you can scroll
through long lists of data
and plots.
Refer to the examples file

useful ways to manipulate Figure 1. Plots from ConstEVM.dds

When you run a swept sim-
ulation, such as Circuit
Envelope, the node volt-
ages and other variables
output to the dataset are
multi-dimensional. Use the
what function to see the
independent variables and
their dimensionality.

HINT Renaming Ports on Schematics
before Generating Subcircuits

4 Designers often use subcircuits


to keep simulation set-ups
easy to read. When you gener-
ate a symbol for a subcircuit,
If you change the default
names (to something more
descriptive such as Input, Out-
put, Vplus, Vminus, for exam-
you must place a port on the ple), the names you give the
schematic at any input or out- ports appear on the subcircuit
put point, and the program symbol when it is created. You
provides the ports with default may have to move the names
names (P1, P2, and so on). on the symbol view so they do
not overlap, but having the
names on the symbol make it
easier to correctly wire the sub-
circuit into a higher-level cir-
cuit.
