This section of the tutorial describes how to
add measurements to curves in the waveform viewer.
Key Concepts
This topic addresses the following key concepts:
- SIMetrix/SIMPLIS has a powerful set of built-in measurements which can be applied to
any curve.
- The Measure menu in the waveform viewer gives you access to the curve
measurements.
What You Will Learn
In this topic, you will learn the following:
- How to add measurements to a curve.
- How to access all of the measurements and functions available in the waveform
viewer.
4.4.1 Add Measurements to the
Curve
To add a measurement to the graph, follow
these steps:
- From the schematic editor, click F9 to run a simulation.
- In the Legend window, located in the lower left corner just below the waveforms,
check the SW waveform.
- From the waveform viewer menu, select Measure > Minimum.

Result: The minimum value of the SW voltage
waveform now appears in the Measurement window located to the right of where you
checked SW.
Note: To see the complete measurement, you may
have to adjust the vertical bar between the Legend and Measurement windows.
