Hello ADI Support,
There is a parameter called "Ncycle" in voltage sources.
It seems that in the newer versions, the handling of `Ncycle = 0` has become a bit stricter.
In the "PULSE" type source (see attached `tuto1.asc`), setting `Ncycle = 0` produces a warning:
WARNING: Ncycles must be a positive number, will be ignored (using default = infinity).
V1 out 0 PULSE(0 {amp} 1m 1u 1u {Ton} {Tperiod} {Ncyc})
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
However, in the "SINE" type source (see attached `tuto2.asc`), setting `Ncycle = 0` behaves the same as if it were omitted — no warning appears.
Since voltage sources are widely used in libraries, it is quite common that the upper-level circuit passes `Ncycle = 0`.
As a result, the log is flooded with warning messages.
I was wondering — am I the only one who feels this warning might be a bit too strict?
In previous versions, no warning was generated for this case.
Best regards,
Denspa
