| Processing
Menu |
|
 |
| The
processing menu contains a wide array of different routines which
perform various tasks on the curve and schematic data. These include
specialized types of automatic analysis, transforms, and general math
operations. |

| Unary
Math Operations |
|
 |
| Unary
math operations involve only a single curve - hence the term unary.
The operand curve is always a Guide Curve. The result of the operation
is returned in the same Guide Curve. |
| |
| Several
different types of operations are provided: Magnitude Offset, Phase
Offset, Exponentiation, Smooth Curve, Frequency Translation, Mul (jw),
Div (jw), Real (cos), Imag (sin). |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|
| |
| Binary
Math Operations |
|
 |
| Binary
math operations involve two curves - hence the term binary. The
fundamental operations of mul, div, add, and sub can be performed
on the two operand curves. |

| Sensitivity
Analysis |
|
 |
| Sensitivity
analysis provides much the same kind of information as Monte Carlo
analysis. However sensitivity analysis yields information related
to each individual component, while Monte Carlo analysis shows the
overall possible range of circuit response variations, due to both
the sensitivity of the components and their precision. |
| |
| For
sensitivity, a text listing of the S values is produced at the worst
case frequency for each component. Monte Carlo analysis produces a
max/min curve pair by varying all components randomly according to
their precision. |

| Noise
Analysis |
|
 |
| This
processing utility performs noise density integration between any
two frequency limits. |
| |
| In
addition, ANSI weighting filters can be applied. The noise density
os integrated between the two spcified frequency limits, and can be
read in Volts or dBm. |

|
| |
| Thermal
Analysis |
|
 |
| The
thermal analysis dialog generates a family of circuit analysis curves
at different temperatures. |
| |
| The
Lo/Hi temperature limits of the sweep can be defined, as well as the
circuit Reference Temperature. |
| |
| The
number of curves generated is controlled by the Steps parameter. |
| |
| |
|
| |
| Potentiometer
Analysis |
|
 |
| This
dialog performs multiple circuit analysis while rotating the position
of one or more potentiometers. |
| |
| This
processing feature is extremely useful for equalizer design and other
applications where pots are typically used. It provides invaluable
information which enables easy and accurate selection of the proper
taper. |
