Statistics, graphing, or what? > Thanx. PSpice is an electronic circuit simulator. You give it nodes and description of what elements go in between, it spits out a lot of data such as response and measurements of various places in the circuit. The version mentioned does not have a visual implementation, and your ciruit reads like a programming language. It would be nice to have a graphical input so all you do is reproduce the circuit on screen with drawing tools, it generates this circuit description that you have to make up currently, and provide you with all the answers you'd want and more. As it stands, it's still an excellent way in predicting how a circuit behaves under set conditions. In short, if you do not have to deal with elctronic circuits, it may not be your cup of tea.
