Phase from pspice

[hotrodhed120]

I need to measure the magnitude and phase of the voltage drop across the inductor using the p() function in Orcad pspice. I can find the magnitude just fine and the phase from the dt of the peaks, but not with the p() function. Would some one please describe how to do this on the attatched circuit? Transient simulation.

The phase function is available as the result of ac analyses only.
For Tran analysis, you only can derive the phase information by comparing both waveforms (time difference to be converted in phase information).

I'm sorry, you are correct. After performing AC sweep on the circuit how would you actually use the p()? Magnitude and Phase of Input impedance as in... M(V(V4:+)/I(V4)) and P(V(V4:+)/I(V4))???

M(V(V4:+)/I(V4)) and P(V(V4:+)/I(V4))???

I don't understand the meaning of the above. Up to now, my understanding was that you need the voltage (magnitude and phase) across the inductor?

Sorry, I was getting ahead of my self. I think I have the solution I was looking for in the fact that I was using the wrong simulation type. Thank you!
