Before creating stimuli, ensure that the prerequisites are met.
To create a new stimulus, follow the steps:
- Enable authoring by selecting the On option in the Stimuli Authoring section.
- Enter the stimulus name as an alphanumeric value.
- Select the type of stimulus from a drop-down list next to the stimulus name field.
- Select an option, I or V, to specify whether it is a current or voltage source.
-
Define the values of stimulus parameters.
- Select the Show option in Preview Transient Waveforms.
- To preview the waveform, click Apply.
A short simulation runs. The new stimulus entry is added in the Stimuli Authoring section.
You can also choose to create stimuli by either importing stimuli or creating a copy of stimuli to edit them.
All the stimuli definitions are saved at location — <Lib-name>/<Cell-name>/<View-name>/namedStimuli/stimuli.xml.
