No, despite my last thread, resistance sweep really isn't working correctly

Euler,

 

The pot is two series resistors. When you run a sweep with one of the pot resistors as your variable, you're ONLY sweeping that resistor - the other resistor is fixed - you're not sweeping the wiper!

 

With the wiper set to 0%, your upper resistor is at 10kohm and lower resistor is 0ohms. Now as you sweep the lower resistor from 0ohm to 10kohm, you're getting a voltage divider with output 0V @ Rlower=0kohm and 10*(1/2)=5V @R=10kohm.

 

That's why I mentioned earlier that the pot's contents should not be used for parameter sweep.

Ok, I get it now.  Many thanks for your help, showing me where I went wrong, and your time.  I'm so glad it wasn't a bug, as I much prefer it be my error.
