 Figure 8 shows an overview of the simulation schematic. Note that two sources are shown - connect V2 (sinewave source) via jumper X1 for AC analysis or time domain analysis with sinusoidal excitation. For step response, move X1 to connect V1 to the circuit. Note that all component values are parameterized, and are calculated depending on what the known parameters are in the "Parameter Setup" section. Make sure to set one column as SPICE directive and the other as comment (right-click, escape to bring up the options.) Figure 8 shows an overview of the simulation schematic.
