This page can be found on the Simulation Parameters dialog. Use it to set up simulation for DC Sweep analysis.
Operates in any of the 6 Sweep Modes except Frequency. Repeats a DC operating point calculation for the range of circuit parameters defined by the sweep mode.

How To Setup DC Sweep Analysis Parameters
Select the Simulation Parameters option from the Simulation menu and pick the DC Sweep tab.
The following page will be displayed:
Sweep Parameters
Start Value, Stop Value - Defines sweep range stop and start values.
Points Per Decade, Number of Points - Defines sweep range. The number of points of the sweep is defined per decade for a decade sweep. For a linear sweep you must enter the total number of points.
Device/Parameter/Model Name - The device name for a device sweep, parameter name for a parameter sweep or the model name for a model parameter sweep may be entered here. It may also be entered in the sweep mode dialog opened by pressing the Define button.
Define Mode - Sets up desired sweep mode. DC analysis repeats a single analysis point while varying some circuit parameter. See Sweep Modes for details.
Monte Carlo and Multi-step Analysis
DC analysis can be setup to automatically repeat while varying some circuit parameter. See Multi-Step Analyses for details.
