variable sweep in ADEXL

Litstbl

When i sweep one variable, I want to sweep a capacitor for instance, from 1p to 10p, in 1p step, and then from 10p to 100p, in 10p step. How can I put this in ADEXL

1p:1p:10p, 10p:10p:100p

I put both in there, but ADEXL only recognize two sweeping point. Is there a way to combine this two expressions in one sweep?

Thanks!

    I don't believe  you can use the shorthand (Matlab-like) form to do multiple sweeps. Instead, I'd suggest you use the "..." button next to the variable to enter multiple sweep specifications. This then allows you to enter:

    {From/To}Linear:1p:1p:10p{From/To}{From/To}Linear:20p:10p:100p{From/To}

    (note I generally would avoid having overlapping sweeps - at least in some versions that could cause duplicate simulations to be run - that's why I changed the second sweep to be from 20p to 100p in 10p steps).

    You don't have to type in the From/To stuff - if you use the ... form then this will be generated for you.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
