Hi, I'm new to SPICE. I'm using MacSpice to simulate a TL072 amplifier circuit. The following is my code:

As I simulated it, it prompt this message:

Circuit: OPAMP AMPLIFIER
Note: MacSpice converts spice2 'polys' to spice3 'B' sources, use 'listing physical expand' to inspect the result(s).
Note: Spice2 'poly' source translated at line 30.

Missing level parameter - using level=1
On line 57: .probe
Warning: .probe control card ignored.

I wonder what's wrong with the .probe? Do I miss something? And what does it mean "Missing level parameter - using level=1"? Can anyone please shed some light on these problems? Thanks in advance.

Btw, I got the TL072 model from Internet.

Hi,

I just found that .Probe is a PSPICE command, and MacSpice does not recognize it. So I change to this:

.PLOT dB(V(5))

And I've also added the level parameter (level=1) to the model. But nothing was generated other than this message:

Note: MacSpice converts spice2 'polys' to spice3 'B' sources,
use 'listing physical expand' to inspect the result(s).
Note: Spice2 'poly' source translated at line 30.
Note: Spice2 'poly' source translated at line 31.

So I typed "listing physical expand", and got these:

The problem is, I have no idea where and what to figure out in the codes. How can I plot the frequency response for the circuit?

Thanks.
