Temp sweep - graph not chart!

[wot_c8]

Hi,

I'm trying to do a temperature sweep on a model of a solar cell for 2 temperautres.  The temperature sweep has a nested DC sweep of the cell output voltage.  The result of the anlaysis  is a chart of cell current for a sweep of the cell voltage and each temperautre.  This is as expected but I want to display this as two traces in a graph ie. an I-V curve for each temperautrure.  Is this possible?

Cheers,

If you only want two I-V curves I would manually set the SPICE temperature [TEMP] to the desired fixed value and plot I(VBIAS) in a DC Sweep analysis.  Select the "Use Custom Options" in the "Analysis Options" tab.  The DC Sweep source is VBIAS in your case.  Merge the resulting plots keeping track of which one is what temperature (see attachment)

You might also try a Parameter Sweep analysis, but I think this results in a chart as well.  If all else fails, just export to Excel or LabVIEW for manual plotting.

P.S.  Apparantly, a .GRA file is not a valid attachment (moderator?)...

Cheers, thanks J.  Merging traces works well but does get tedious when simulating over say a decade of temperautres.  The inconvenience of exporting to excel is that the x-data either needs to be parsed from the block of text or added to the spreadsheet by auto-completing.   Parameter sweep also uses a chart.
