Open Probe dialog

Probes are components for output of voltage, branch current, TACS values and global MODELS variables, and are handled differently than other components you open.

In the Open Probe dialog you can specify the number of phases of a probe and which phases to output. Make sure to specify sufficient number of phases for current probes, otherwise phases will be interrupted. Current probes has an option to Add current node. This node can be used as input to control systems. (When checked this will result in two measuring switches in series, and in this case there is no doubt what current really is measured).

For the Voltage and Current probe you can also choose to output Steady-State values from the LIS-file. For 3-phase circuits, only the A-phase is read.Current probes can output current or power.

Probe_v: Voltage probe. Node voltages output request .
Probe_b: Voltage probe. Branch voltage output request. 1E9 ohm resistance.
Probe_i: Current probe. Branch current output request. Measuring switch.
Probe_t: TACS probe. TACS variable output request. Type 33.
Probe_m: MODELS probe output of global Models variables (inputs/outputs)
