The easiest way to do this is to use the markers, click on the markers pull-down
select a marker, then just mark the nodes you want to measure. At least I
think it should work that way. I just downloaded a copy and started playing
with it a few days ago.
BTW - The copy I downloaded seems to missing some of the libraries, e.g.
burr_brn.slb
dig_ecl.slb
opto.slb
misc.slb
special.slb
swit_rav.slb
swit_reg.slb
thyristr.slb
xtal.slb
dig_pal.slb
dig_gal.slb
europe.slb
markers.slb
Do you know where I can get this? Also, is there an ftp site around with
models, libs, circuits, and such that can be downloaded?
Thanks,
