AMI Impulse Response versus Time

To plot the impulse responses in the time domain:

Select Create Standard Report>Rectangular Plot.
Select your AMI Analysis as the Solution ; Initial Response as the Domain; Voltage as the Category; InitialImpulseResponse, IntermediateImpulseResponse, or FinalImpulseResponse as the Quantity; and <none> as the Function.

The following chart shows all three impulse responses.

Impulse Response Plot

The Initial Impulse Response is the one generated by the Circuit solver.
The Intermediate Impulse Response reflects any modifications made by the AMI transmitter AMI_Init function at initialization.
The Final Impulse Response reflects any further modifications made by the AMI receiver AMI_Init function at initialization.
In the chart above, the Intermediate and Final responses are identical.

Note:

When the AMI transmitter model contains an AMI_GetWave function, the Intermediate Impulse Response in the graph is not the one that is applied unless the transmitter’s AMI_Init and AMI_GetWave functions perform identical modifications.

When the AMI receiver model contains an AMI_GetWave function, the Final Impulse Response in the graph is not the one that is applied unless the receiver’s AMI_Init and AMI_GetWave functions perform identical modifications.
