What is SPICE?

• SPICE stands for Simulation Program with
  Integrated Circuit Emphasis
• This software is widely used for analog and
  digital circuit design and also for educational
  purposes

Setting up the Voltage Source
By Clicking on the component value you can modify
the value! (if you click on the component itself,
you will be able to change more properties).
14
Placing the Probes
Current Probe
Voltage Probe
15
Placing the Probes
Do not forget to put the ground in your circuit!
16
Start Simulating
Press this one to start
Then, enter a name for your simulation
17
Time duration of the simulation
Now, you are good to go! Press the green play
button to start the simulation!
18
If you want to rerun the simulation and you want
to change the simulation properties, you can use
this icon to bring up the menu!
