Finding Peak to Peak Voltage on Time Domain Plot SOLVED

I might just be missing something obvious, but I can't seem to figure out how to get a measurement for peak to peak voltage of a sinusoidal input or output from a Time Domain sweep. Is there an easy way to do this or do I have to switch to Spice to get this (basic) functionality?

  1. Run time domain plot.
  2. Drag in green cursor bars from top and bottom of plot area. (Move your mouse to the top center of the plot area and a green horizontal bar and a thick "handle" part will appear. Click and drag the handle to position as desired.)
  3. Read off the "Delta Y" value shown at the bottom left of the plot area.

Oh okay, thank you. I somehow completely missed the horizontal cursors. That works, although it would be nice to be able to display peak to peak values for multiple signals at the same time like I can on an oscilloscope with multiple probes. It would make finding voltage gains on amplifiers easier, especially if there's a DC bias involved, especially when I have to include screenshots of simulation results in reports.

  1. Click "Advanced Graphing..." (right above the "Run Time-Domain Simulation" button).
  2. Drag second trace to a second graph.
  3. Run simulation
  4. Each plot gets its own set of green cursors.

Glad it helped!

Oh that's really nice and solves my issue perfectly, thank you!
