Schedule changes to runtime parameters in PSpice

Do you feel the need to modify certain run-time parameters during simulation?

In certain situations, you may want to predefine a set of values for a parameter and schedule these values to take effect at various time intervals during a long simulation. For example, you may want to use a smaller time step value during periods where the input stimulus changes rapidly, but otherwise use a larger value.

The SCHEDULE command lets you dynamically adjust the step size to increase detail on only the area of interest.

The format for the schedule command is as follows: {SCHEDULE(time, step size, time, step size)}.

You can set up automatic changes to certain runtime parameters that will occur at scheduled times during a simulation. By scheduling the changes, you will not need to interrupt the simulation manually and can even run it in a batch mode in the background.
