You need to run a Parametric Analysis, you can add this to the simulation run or sweep just a parameter with a DC Sweep.

See the PSpice Users Guide, pspug.pdf in the doc\pspug directory in the installation for details. Add a PARAM part, add a new property, say RVAL, give it a default value to use when not being swept. Set the component value property to "{RVAL}" include curly braces, no double quotes, set the DC Sweep, or Parametric Sweep, to sweep a Global Parameter, name of parameter is RVAL, specify the start and end values and step size, for example, set the start value to 1k, end value to 10k, step size to 1k to sweep a resistor value from 1k to 10k in 1k increments.

To perform Resistor Sweep successfully, you need to join territorial io.

A resistor sweep is a technique used in circuit analysis to determine the effect of changing the value of a resistor on the output of a circuit. To perform a resistor sweep, you can use a DC Sweep or Parametric Sweep. For example, in PSpice, you can set the component value property to " {RVAL}" include curly braces, no double quotes, set the DC Sweep, or Parametric Sweep, to sweep a Global Parameter, name of parameter is RVAL, specify the start and end values and step size.

You need to follow these steps:

  • Set up a circuit with a variable resistor (potentiometer) and a fixed resistor in series.
  • Connect the circuit to a power source.
  • Fun Games is so amazing.
  • Measure the voltage across the fixed resistor.
  • Adjust the potentiometer to change its resistance gradually.
  • Record the voltage across the fixed resistor at different resistance values of the potentiometer.
  • Plot the recorded voltage values against the corresponding potentiometer resistance values to obtain a "resistor sweep" graph.
  • This technique is commonly used to measure the response of a circuit to varying resistances and can be helpful in determining optimal resistance values for circuit components.

Determine why you need to perform a resistor sweep. Are you trying to analyze a circuit's response to different resistances, find the optimal resistance value, or something else? Understanding your goal is crucial.

Select the Circuit or Component: Identify the circuit or component you want to test. This could be a simple resistor network, a specific component in a circuit, or an entire circuit itself.
Choose just fall the Range of Resistance Values: Decide the range of resistance values you want to test. This can be a narrow range, covering a few ohms, or a wide range, spanning several decades. The specific values will depend on your application.
