PSpice Results Presentation

Most of the laboratory experiments will require you to perform PSpice simulations. There is a PSpice tutorial included in the EE-61 coursepack. In general, you must include the following items in order to receive full credit for this portion of the laboratory reports:

1. Circuit diagram with the nodes labeled as used in the PSpice code, element values and problem statement
2. Analysis (calculations) if required
3. Simulation results: the output that PSpice produces including the source code, DC values, and any graphs
4. Justification that the PSpice results are correct. In the case of DC analysis, a direct comparison of the calculated value with the value produced by PSpice is sufficient. However, in the more general case, the output voltage or current will be time-varying. You can verify that the graphs are correct by calculating a few values and comparing them with the graphs produced by PSpice. A more sophisticated verification might include calculation of min/max values and the times at which they occur.
