.SENS

.SENS V(nodename [,refnodename])| I(sourcename)

This statement instructs the simulator to perform a DC sensitivity analysis. In this analysis mode, a DC operating point is first calculated then the linearised sensitivity of the specified circuit voltage or current to every model and device parameter is evaluated. The results are output to the list file and they are also placed in a new data group. The latter allows the data to be viewed in the message window (type Display) at the command line and can also be accessed from scripts for further analysis.

The number format used in the list file can be controlled by the SENSUSEEXPFORMAT option. By default engineering format is used but this can be changed to exponential format with the setting:

.options SENSUSEEXPFORMAT

Instead of the results being written to the list file, they may alternatively be written to a text file using the SENSFILE option:

.options SENSFILE=<filename>
