View Tool
The View Tool is a program to display results online during the simulation outside the Schematic.
The View Tool is started whenever definitions for graphical online outputs are included
in the simulation model and the Display Elements display are deactivated. If an AC or a DC
simulation was carried out, real and imaginary part as well as magnitude and phase of a data
channel are displayed in the View Tool.
DAY Post Processor
The DAY Post Processor is a program to display results offline after the simulation outside the
Schematic. The DAY Post Processor uses .sdb result files created when definitions for file outputs
are included in the simulation model.
Defining Outputs of Components
You can define component outputs in three ways:
• In the component dialog
• In Display Elements
• In the Model Sheet
The representation, which can be either analog or digital, can be changed in the data channel
properties in the output tools, which means you can also assign the proper format after running
a simulation.
Outputs in Component Dialogs
Each component has an property dialog with an «Output/Display» tab, where you can define
outputs and output formats. This tab lists all component parameters and outputs. To activate
an output, select the check box for the corresponding entry. If you select «Default Outputs»
in the «Parameters» tab, the selected simulation quantity is written to the .sdb file.
Double-click a component symbol and click the «Output/Display» tab. Select an online and/
or file output of a simulation quantity.
Online output File output Information about the parameters
Activates a file output in the
«Parameters» dialog box
Outputs in Display Elements
Display Elements provide all simulation quantities of a sheet for online output. Place a Display
Element on the sheet. Create a new output entry and select a parameter in the simulation
quantity tree. For each defined output quantity you can set color, displayed number component
(real, imaginary, magnitude, or phase), Y axis, scale, and offset. In Display Elements, you
can define only online outputs. Number components are only available with an AC simulation.
For transient and DC simulations only real components provides values.
