Limited plot range

Bhavsh
Bhavsh over 15 years ago

Hi,

   I am using ic5141 and tried to simulate ADC(4-bit analog to digital converter) in ADE. I opted for transient analysis for 100ms. It simulated successfully but through "direct plot form" or through "calculator" if we plot, it is plotting the respective voltage values only upto 20ms.Beyond 20ms its not showing any result. Are there  any option to go beyond 20ms??

Thank you..
