== An Overview of RF.Spice A/D Tests ==
[[File:b2MAN_Fig5.png|thumb|160px|B2.Spice A/D Test Panel]]
This section describes the details of the various test types available in [[B2.Spice A/D]]. You can specify one or more [[tests]] to be performed at the same time. This is done using the checkboxes available for each test type in the "Test Panel" of the Toolbox. Most [[tests]] offer three options: Basic, Sweep and Monte Carlo (M.C.). The "Basic" test is a single-run simulation, while in a "Sweep" you vary the value of a device parameter. The "Monte Carlo" simulation provides an opportunity to examine the statistical behavior of your circuit given the tolerances for some part values.

== DC Test Types ==
[[File:b2MAN_Fig203.png|thumb|200px|A typical DC operating point table.]]
The results of a DC sensitivity test are displayed in a table window. The left column of the table lists the part [[parameters]] and the right columns shows the derivative of the output voltage with respect to the respective [[parameters]]. For example, consider the simple voltage divider circuit of Tutorial lesson No. 1, which consists of a 1V DC voltage source in series with a 1k resistor and another 2k resistor. The output voltage is designated as the voltage across the 2k resistor. The results of the DC sensitivity test for this circuit indicate that the output voltage is increased by 666.66mV for every 1-volt increase in the input source voltage, it is decreased by -1.111 mV for every 1 Ohm change in the first resistor's value, and it is increased by 555.55 microvolts for every 1 Ohm change in the second resistor's value. Note that these are all small-signal operating point results.
