Name the node with a name, in this case it is named out, and put it on the schematic (on a wire): Press the key F4 or select the command Label Net from the Edit menu: You have to label a node for the wire, from which the signal will be taken. To remove a plot from the plot pane, use Delete tool (press the key F5), you'll see the scissors shaped cursor. Hover the cursor over a component, the cursor will change to a current clamp, and if you click, you'll see on the plot pane a current, flowing through the component. To add a plot to the plot pane, click on the other wire while pressing the Ctrl key. Now you'll see a voltage plot in the simulation window. Hover the cursor over a node of the schematic (the cursor will change to a probe), and press the left mouse button. You'll see the blank window of simulation. To start the simulation, press the 'Run' button from the top toolbar or select the command Run from the Simulate menu. Now close the window Edit simulation Cmd, and place the text command somewhere on the schematic:ДЄnd save the schematic (select from the menu File -> Save As). tran 0 0.01 0 1u) is filled automatically, it has all the parameters described above.

Select the Edit simulation Cmd from the menu Simulate, and fill the three upper fields of the first tab ( Transient) for transient analysis:Д - the start time for a data to display ДЎu - the maximum time step (the less it is, the more accurate plot we get, but it takes more time). Instead of 100k you can use 0.1meg, it's the same.ДЇor voltage sources enter 10 volts for each one:ДЄt the end, when all component values are entered, we will have this schematic:ДЄnd now we have to set up a simulation mode. Next, enter values for resistors, they are all of 100В Kohms: The E notation can be used instead of decimal form, for example, 1n9 = 1900В pF. The lower and uppercase are treated the same way (you can use 1n or 1N, it's the same). The decimal point ('.') is used as a decimal symbol. There is another prefixes:ДЇor the capacitance value of, for example, 100В pF, use designation of 100p, for 0.1В ОјF - 0.1u, for 1 Farad - 1 (just 1, with no prefix). 1000В pF, because symbol n means 'Nano' prefix, it is equal to 10 -9. Move the cursor to a component, then press the right mouse button, here it the example for the capacitor C1: Now we need to enter component values for the capacitor C1, resistors R1, R2, R3 and power supply V2, V3. Use the key F3 to draw wires and the key F5 to delete a wire: Now put all other components on the schematic: If a component is already placed on the schematic, press the key F7 (or use the Move button from the top toolbar), click on the component and press the key combination Ctrl+R. While the cursor has the shape of a component, it is possible to rotate it using the key combination Ctrl+R (see the hint in the bottom status bar of the main window). Select there the voltage component - this is the power supply, put it on the schematic in two places - click there twice - above and below of the op-amp: Now again press F2 key and in the component selection window go to the root directory. Now click somewhere on the schematic, in a place you want to put the opamp:ДЄfter the opamp is placed on the schematic, press ESC key to quit the current component selection mode. Press the key F2, it will show the window that allows you to choose a component, then select (use double click), and choose an op-amp you want, in this example we will use LT1013:

Example: how to create an op-amp based relaxation oscillator.

F6 - Duplicate (Copy a section of a schematic) ДЄll this functions also accessible via the Edit menu.

F2 - place a new component on the schematic.

S - place a SPICE directive on the schematic.

G - place a GND symbol on the schematic.

D - place a new Diode on the schematic.

L - place a new Inductor on the schematic.

C - place a new Capacitor on the schematic.

R - place a new Resistor on the schematic.

Now you have to create a new schematic file (from menu File -> New schematic), it will activate almost all icons in the top toolbar:ДЄpart from icons in the top toolbar, there is some useful function keys: (registration required)ДЄfter install, click on the program icon and you'll see the main program window: Additional libraries can be downloaded from here and here.

There is one very interesting feature in this program - the result of simulation can be written into a wav file, so you can play this file to hear the result.Дownload LTspice IV here: or here (a direct link): LTspiceIV.exe (15 MB).
