This document provides steps for using PSPICE simulation software. It outlines how to open a new project, select components like diodes and resistors, add a voltage source, connect the circuit, set the simulation profile to transient analysis, and run the simulation. It then lists various circuit configurations that can be analyzed including full-wave rectifiers, clippers, and clampers.

5. Steps to choose Vsin
• Goto PlacePspice component  SourceVoltage source Vsin
• Set values of Vsin to Vamp1V, Freq1k, AC0.
• To connect each compent use w(keyboard).
• For resistor goto PlacePspice component passiveRedit properties(right click)5k
• For ground use g(from keyboard) choose 0/Capsym
