Multisim V14 Demo: Bug in Virtual Function Generator

There must be something wrong with the offset functionality of this thing...

-Feeding sine (F=50Hz, DC=50%, Amp=80Vp, Offset=0V)  into a RC (L)  lowpass filter (100K & 100uF)

-Type in a +5V offset and observe the DC shift on the scope... looks fairly OK

-Offset back to 0V

-Set F much higher, e.g. F=50Khz

-Type in the +5V offset as before... Now the the DC shift observed on the scope is moving VERY slowly, should be the same as with F=50.

 

Atemporary workaround (also proving the above problem) is to insert a (switchable) DC source in the generator's ground wire...The DC component out of the filter now

moves 100's of times faster, more in line with the filter's time constant & reality.

 

Pls. Fix.

Solved.

Turned out (to me) that high frequency simulations take a lot of time. A Deta T measurement on the scope shows everything is working correctly, in both cases I mentioned.
