I am new to CL and have managed to create some useful results while using CCCS devices. Through some trial and error, it appears the controlling current is defined by the controlling device's name with the dotted suffix providing the name of the device's "input" node. For example, R5.nA denotes the use of the current through R5 and the resistor's node "A" is the entering node for the control current. Is this correct? If so, where can I find the resistor's node A vs. B definition once the resistor has been placed in the schematic and then rotated? |

You are correct. For more info and a few examples, see Ultimate Electronics: Dependent Sources. You'll see the node names at the bottom-right corner of the screen if you mouse over the terminals of any device! |

Thanks! For all the time trying different cursor and mouse click combinations, I never noticed the pop-up text at the bottom right. |
