This page can be found on the Define Probe dialog.

Fixed probes have a wide range of options allowing you to customise how you want the graph plotted.

How To Change Axis Labels

Use the Define Probe dialog to edit a fixed probe. Click on the Axis Labels tab.

The following dialog will be displayed:

This dialog page has four edit boxes allowing you to specify, X and Y axis labels as well as their units. If any box is left blank, a default value will be used or will remain unchanged if the axis already has a defined label.

When you plot a new curve on an existing graph, Pulsonix-Spice will select - or if necessary create - a compatible axis for that curve. The decision is made on the basis of the curves Units i.e Voltage, Current etc. The rules it follows are:

  • If the currently selected axis or grid (shown by black axis line) has the same units as curve to be plotted or if it has undefined units (designated by a ’?’ on label), that axis will be used.
  • If any other axis or grid has compatible units (i.e same as curve or undefined) that axis will be used.
  • If no axes exist with compatible units, a new axis (not grid) will be created to accommodate the curve.

Editing Multiple Probes

If any of the fields are set to then some of the probes you are changing have different values for that field. Clear this field and enter the required value for all probes, or leave as to tell probes to keep their original values for that field.
