Hello,
I am new to multisim and just started learning how to simulate basic circuits. I am using multisim 12.0.
I am trying to simulate a basic zener diode circuit and trying to observe the effect of changing the load resistance.
I believe this needs to be done using parameter sweep.
The problem I am facing is, in the parameter sweep window, I am not seeing my load resistor name in the drop down list of the component name I want to sweep. I am seeing r1:xrload, r1:xr1. r1:xr2, r2:xrload etc. At the same time, I am seeing that the present value of r1:xrload and r2:xrload is set to 5k. My load resistor value has been set to 10k in the schematic. Another peculiar thing is, I don't have any r2 resistor in my circuit. Could anyone kindly help me out regarding this? My questions are:
1) What are these r1:xrload, r1:xr1. r1:xr2, r2:xrload etc.?
2) How is my rload value getting halved?
3) I have also looked at the netlist as well, and it shows 10000/2 there as well. Could anyone please tell me why?
I will really appreciate some help in understanding what's going on here. Thank you.
I am attaching the screenshot herewith.
