Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
I almost always avoid using UIC, but this 12AU7 model recommends it, so I tried it.? I think a better approach might be to use the STARTUP qualifier, which also starts with everything set to 0 and

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
I have only seen split heaters wired either in series or in parallel.? I don't think I ever saw the two halves powered separately before. But it has been so long since I worked much with

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
4.2 V peak is 3 V RMS, not 6. Did you write those numbers backwards?? Did you mean 6 V peak, 4.2 V RMS? Andy

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
Resistors have an arrow when you hover the mouse pointer over them.? It shows the reference direction. There is no question but the current was flowing backwards.? More embarrassingly, current was

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
Where did you get your tube subcircuit?? If you open your subcircuit in notepad, is it copyrighted by Ayumi?

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
And you can also probe a ground wire between some parts and a node 0 ground triangle. Probe the ground wire that connects one corner of a bridge rectifier (D10 & D11) to ground and it creates the plot

I'm pretty sure that he meant wiring or routing, like plumbing in a house. Plumbing generally has to have its installation pre-designed, or otherwise installed by a certain set of rules, much like

Indeed; it's not safe to report current direction through? a passive component. I think that the direction of current measured through a 'wire'? is always correct. To measure it may require

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
I haven't checked your schematic, but did you know that current through a 2 port device always flows into port 1 and out of port 2. The standard symbol has no visual indication which is port 1. Try

I mean Mathias, not Mattias, sorry.

Re: Has anyone tried 24.1.3?
You're right John, but the point the I was making was the vagaries of finding the frequency when something happened. I do tend to blunder my way through .meas syntax and get there in the end...

Re: Has anyone tried 24.1.3?
Current version 24.1.3 is still plagued with a few .meas bugs. The upcoming release 24.1.4 will have all these resolved. Then, your two examples below will all work again. The documentation of .meas

Re: Has anyone tried 24.1.3?
I was looking at the slope of some filters and had been using the line below .meas ac V3dBf find FREQUENCY when mag(S21(V1))=Vmax/sqrt(2) I don't think it is documented but I think it worked in 24.1.2

Re: Has anyone tried 24.1.3?
It is converted to a B-source, but it's name doesn't change in the process. That's why it's still listed as an E-source. The expanded netlist is currently not suited for simulation. It's just a

Re: Has anyone tried 24.1.3?
Yes, I have, and the return of the expanded netlist is welcome. I was surprised to see the E-source with a value expression rendered that way instead of being converted to a B-source.

I think P = pin, given to device pins that have no wire attached. Significance?? None, really. Andy

Default node naming

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
Preamp tubes are very often heated at reduced voltage, for noise optimization. Particularly in condenser microphones, where secondary emission (grid current) is to be avoided at any cost. E seies

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
This is often the cause of filament failure. On the baby computer replica we run the heaters at around 3v for a short while before switching to 6.3v to limit the initial "shock". I can't remember the
