One obvious problem with DXP is that not all of the Active Signals show up in the signal lists after a change. I'm looking at the lists now and the schematic. I have a resistive element called Rtactor which is part of the load and it doesn't appear in the list but another resistor called Rlim does. Setup is "Collect Data For Active Signals", Sheets to Nelist Activeis "Active sheet", SimView Setup "Show Active Signals". Hard to pick them for Parameter Sweep when they aren't in the drop-down pick list!
Solution: Run the simulation once and then come back to the dialog - All the signals are now there! So there is an initialization problem - if you change anything in the shcematic that changes signal names, you have to remember to run the sim once to flush the signal names through, then setup the sweep again. SoWorks fine with 99SE though. regards, Tim Hutcheson Research Associate Institute for Human and Machine Cognition University of West Florida 40 S.
