Hello !
I'm using ADS for a really short time, and I'm trying to find "newbie tutorials" for RF simulation :-/
In fact, I'm trying to simulate a simple PLL (source + VCO + Phase detector + loop filter + another VCO looped in the Phase detector) and I'd like to show voltages and currents vs. time in a graphic view... the problem is I'm in circuit mode, and I can't find out voltage probes... yes, I'm a real beginner !! ;D
Thanks in advance for your help !
Regards,
S.

However, some of these examples use some unique license features for components & simulators. Â You should work with your local EEsof account representative to ensure you have the license keys needed to properly evaluate these project contents. Â
Another outstanding source of PLL help/info is the PLL Design Guide, which is in a schematic window pull-down menu. Â Again, this is a licensed feature, so contact your local EEsof rep for configuring this license. Â :D
Also, there is additional content (seminar examples, etc.) for download located at: Â
 http://eesof.tm.agilent.com/applications/pll-b.html
These examples and Design Guide information referred to above will show you exactly how to accomplish your goals. Â 8)
To answer your direct question, voltages are "probed" in a circuit page by way of labeling the nodes of interest. Â Use the command: Â
 "Insert > Wire/Pin Label..."
This command can also be found as a toolbar icon located in the second row, left of & next to the simulation "gear". Â The icon is a red diamond labeled "name". Â
The labels you insert in this manner then show up as complex voltages in the dataset for display or further post-processing to suit your needs. ::) Â
