Editing Sources

To edit an existing source on a wire segment, follow these steps:

  • Right-click on any part of the wire to open the pop-up menu.
  • Select the Source / Load / TL (Ctrl + Ins) command to open the Source/Load/TL toolbar (Fig. 1).
  • Use the slider to locate the segment where the source is placed.
  • Click the Modify button to open a dialog box where you can edit the source parameters.
    • To remove the source, click the Delete button.
  • Click the Exit button to close the Source / Load / TL toolbar.

Tips

  • To customize the default color of sources, go to: Main Menu > Tools > Preferences > Workspace tab.
  • To change the size of the source displayed in the workspace, go to Main Menu > Tools > Preferences > Workspace tab, and adjust the Source Size % setting.
  • Voltage sources have their internal impedance in series.
    To model an ideal (perfect) voltage source, set the impedance to zero.
  • Current sources have their internal impedance in parallel.
    To approximate an ideal current source, use a very high impedance (e.g., 1โ€ฏMฮฉ = 1E6 Ohm).
