Hi all.
I would like to know how I can control the nodes and expressions to be plotted inside Eeschema. Without using external ngspice
For example:
.ac dec 100 1 10k
.control
plot v("/vcm")
.endc
Is that possible?
No, this is not possible with the ‘plot’ command. Eeschema uses the ngspice shared library which does not have a graphics interface. You may use ‘gnuplot’ instead (after having installed gnuplot).
This would require:
.ac dec 100 1 10k
.control
set controlswait
gnuplot np_tmp v("/vcm")
.endc
Another alternative (but now using again external ngspice) would be writing the raw file to a place where you have write access, and then load the raw file with ngspice (and check out the enhanced plot features of ngspice-32).
.ac dec 100 1 10k
.control
set controlswait
write myfile.raw v("/vcm")
.endc
The third alternative (you do not want, but just for completeness) is in Eeschema: Tools --> Generate netlist file… --> Spice --> Run Simulator, where you have ngspice installed additionally.
