   The Network Analysis dialog opens.
2. Click Select Net.

   
   
   Figure 16.

3. Select MCU_D31 and click OK.

   
   
   Figure 17.

4. Set Frequency for the signal on Network analysis dialog.
   In this case, 500MHz is set.
5. Click Device in the Network Analysis dialog.
   Check the connected components and pins to the selected net using the Device Model List dialog.

   
   
   Figure 18.

6. Click Analyze.
   When the waveform analysis starts, electromagnetic simulation extracts the SPICE model for the selected net. The excitation source signal is applied to the net which is specified by the assigned pin model’s operating characteristics and the values defined at Input Signal and Pulse Period. When the simulation is done, the Waveform Viewer opens or exploring the waveforms.

   
   
   Figure 19.

   Waveform Viewer dialog opens providing all waveform for TX and RX.
