Hello, in psim software, I want to see the output of the measured speed on a multimeter or oscilloscope, which tool should be used for this purpose?image

    Dear User,

    You can use the voltage probe (and not the voltmeter blocks) to plot the produced speed in SimView when the simulation is finished. The voltmeter blocks introduces  filtering and I suspect that you wouldn't want that for your simulation results.

    Alternatively, if you are interested in investigating the speed while the simulation is still running, you can use the "1-channel Scope" block.

    In any case, please feel free to follow our "Getting started tutorial" where we explaining how the basic measuring devices work. Also keep in mind that for each block there is a "Help" button that gives an explanation of its function.

    Hello again

    Thank you for your time and answering my question

    The things you suggested to see the speed are used when we only want to simulate

    But I am going to put the program code on the dsp IC and take a practical test

    How can I see this measured speed in practical test mode?

    Dear User,

    I got it! For such types of SIL applications we have the "DSP Oscilloscope" Utility:

    This can act as a digital oscilloscope that communicates data with serial communication.

    Please follow this tutorial video on How to Use the PSIM DSP Oscilloscope for real-time DSP control for more information.

    There is also this example for the InstaSPIN motor control that can be of interest for you.
