How to use commands like .save, .plot .print in multisim through netlists

Hi Yi,

This worked!! Thanks...could you also advise on two more things..

1. Is there a way to specify input waveforms through the XSPICE GUI?

2. Is there a way to invoke the XSPICE interface without having to invoke a GUI?

Regards,

Priti

Take a look at this article:

Even though it mentions Multisim 10.0, everything should still apply to your latest and greatest Multisim. We've added a few more variables and features to the analyses window, but almost everything is still the same.

I don't know of a method to invoke the XSPICE Command Line Interface without the GUI. However, you might have some good luck with our Automation API. You can read more about it in Help>>Multisim Help under the Automation API section in the contents tree. You need a programming language which supports COM to use this though.

Alternatively, if you just want to try something quickly, you can take a look at AutoIt:

Good luck.

Can anyone identify the differences between MultiSim GUI and the CLI... I am experiencing convergence issues with the CLI using the same Spice commands(and netlist) from the MultiSim GUI , which simulates with no problems.

Thanks
