CAA programs of electronic circuits widely employed in electronics can also be used for evaluation of the metrological properties of various measuring transducers. For this, certain additional options are required which are not necessarily met by the most popular programs. The paper discusses this and compares the usefulness of three programs — SPICE, MICRO-CAP and NAP-2 – for complex metrological analysis of electronic transducers.
