I downloaded the TI version of TINA last night and drew out one of my amp projects. Nothing overly complcated.
When trying to observe AC signals on the Oscilloscope, it takes ages for anything to happen. Is this correct or is there something wrong with my machine? PSspice is normally nothing like this slow on my machine.

Did you use the "Set Parameters" dialogue? (Analysis/Set Parameters)
Also -- it is often not necessary to have every reactive component included in the simulation -- eliminate the caps you use to minimize radio frequency interference, bypass caps, simplify the power supply or just use DC sources --

The PSU I just used the battery component to get the voltage on the rails. I set no settings nor changed anything from default. Should I have done?
Even just putting the Voltmeter across the input sine source, the scope takes about a minute to draw one cycle of the 1kHz sinewave, about 2 squares of the 10 or so on the screen.

Here is the circuit:
As said earlier, I just used the default settings on a fresh installation of TINA-TI v7. Even just looking at VM2 which is a simple voltmeter looking at the input sine, takes ages.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

jackinnj,
Thanks for the tip. Why would that make a difference? Also, I was just using that to set bias current, the time domain analysis I'm not using it. Although I guess it still requires some processing.
rephil,
Wow you work fast. If you had asked I would have emailed you the file to save your time. Unfortunately the multimeter function works fine, it's the oscilloscope I'm having the problems with.

Hi richie00boy,
I have put the oscilloscope inside the circuit, it is fast too. I have no problem with it. The traces I have obtained where both related to VM1 and VM2. No other selection did I do.
I am sorry not to be able to help You more.
BTW, right click on the writing AM1 and select the rotation you want. It is possible to get writings horizontals on your schematic.
Best regards

Hi richie00boy,
I am using the full Tina7 version. This one will also allow you to draw the open loop response of your amp using the Middlebrook method as hinted and suggested in the forum by Pedja and Mikeks. I thanks these true friends for this.
I did not change anything in the settings as I am not an expert. I have had also no need to do so as I have had until now not the smallest problem.
In what concern to send you the file, with your help, no problem it could be done. If still needed, how should I proceed ?
The transistor TIP29C has been substituted by the TIP31C in my schematics only because I did not download the model for it. The purpose was to check the functionality of Tina and not your schematics. The rest is the same as yours. Here is the schematics I have put in Tina :
Let me know.
Best regards

Ever figure out the problem? My TINA TI used to work fine, refreshing the oscilloscope quickly. Now it will randomly alternate between quick refresh and then suddenly s l o w r e f r e s h, taking many seconds to draw a single screen, then suddenly it snaps back into normal operation and draws multiple screens per second. I don't get it.
