Plot - Ports

Plot - Ports opens the Ports Parameters dialog box and displays the present values of port parameters. When you start the Current Density Viewer or load a new project file, Port 1 defaults to a 1 volt source and all other ports default to loads (0 volts). All other parameters are read from the project file. If you did not specify any port parameters in the project editor the impedance value for all ports defaults to 50 ohms real.

The parameters include:

•     Source Magnitude (Volts)

•     Source Phase (Degrees)

•     Resistance (Ohms)

•     Reactance (Ohms)

•     Inductance ( nH)

•     Capacitance (pF)

To change a value, edit the corresponding text entry box for the value.
