Transient response of an inverter

Aishwarya,

My point about the transient response of the inverter was that this is an unrelated question to the earlier question. Please read the Forum Guidelines which expressly ask you NOT to append unrelated questions on the end of earlier threads. It's much more likely that your subsequent questions will get ignored if you do this as everything thinks that the original question was answered.

Anyway, this sounds as if it may just be a basic usage issue. If you use Results->Direct Plot->AC db20, or AC phase, or AC magnitude, you need to click on all the nodes you wish to plot on the schematic and then hit "Escape" for it to do the plot. It sounds to me as if you invoked the command, the blank waveform window appeared, you clicked on the node but didn't hit escape.

I suspect the magnitude graph appears after simulation because you've got the out node in your output signals in the ADE window (using Outputs->To be Plotted->Select on Design in ADE). These get plotted as a magnitude always for AC simulations.

Another way of plotting it is to use Results->Direct Plot->Main Form, and then pick "ac" in the analysis section. Pick Voltage as the function, and then whichever modifier you want (e.g. db20). If you click on the "Add To Outputs" checkbox and then click the node on the schematic, it will plot it immediately (no need to hit escape) and the "add to outputs" part will have added an expression into your ADE outputs pane such that it will automatically plot the db20 of the output signal after each simulation without you needing to manually plot.

Regards,

Andrew.
