During the interactive simulation, you can change the capacitance value by performing the following operations:

  1. Click on the component to set. The component is highlighted. To select multiple components, press and hold the SHIFT key and click on the components to select.

    • Press the Left Arrow Key to decrease the value by 1%.

    • Press the Right Arrow Key to increase the value by 1%.

    • Press the Up Arrow key to increase the value by 10%.

    • Press the Down Arrow key to decrease the value by 10%.

Parameters

Parameter Description Units Default
Value Is the capacitance in Farads. Use the '/' character to separate the minimum value from the maximum value. e.g. 10pF/30pF. This value is used only if no value is specified for the parameters MINVALUE and MAXVALUE. Farads  
MinValue Minimum value of capacity in Farads. If omitted, the value specified in the component VALUE is used. Farads 1pF
MaxValue Maximum value of capacity in Farads. If omitted, the value specified in the component VALUE is used. Farads 100pF
Position Cursor position in percent. Values from 0 (MINVALUE) to 100 (MAXVALUE).   50
Type Select the type of variation between linear and logarithmic.   Linear
TSwitch Switching time in seconds. Within the specified time, the capacitance value varies continuously between the current value and the new value. Must be greater than zero. Seconds 1ms
IC The initial condition is the initial (time-zero) value of capacitor voltage in Volts. Note that the initial conditions apply 'only' if the UIC (Use Initial Condition) option is enabled in the Transient Analysis dialog box. This parameter is optional. Volts
