Starting a netlist.

1.After you start LTspice press ctrl-N.
2.Call up the "Files" menu and select "Save As". 
3.The file name box will be selected. Type the file name you want to use for this file. In this case it is Lesson 1. The proper extension will be added by the software. Press enter. 
4.Press alt-V.to open the view menu.
5.Press down arrow to move down through the view menu.
6.When you get to spice netlist, press enter.
7.Be sure num lock is off.
8.Press the right mouse button which is the key above the number 9 key to bring up the context menu for this window.
9.This is a short menu. Move to the second item which is Edit as Independent netlist.
10.Press enter. Weight for a few seconds while a save file box opens.
11.The directory will be set to LTspice and the filename box will contain the name you typed in step 3.
12.Tab to the save button and press enter.
13.The Netlist file is now open. The first line begins with a star and contains the path to the LTspice directory on your machine.
14.The file name is after the back slash following the LTspice folder name and it is the same as you typed in step 3. 
15.Type in the netlist that was given above.
16.After you finish typing you will find two lines at the end that were inserted by LTspice. They are,
 .backanno
 .end
 You already typed the word end. When LTspice finds that word it stops processing the file so the extra lines won't do a thing. A search in LTspice help, came up with an explanation that indicates that the backanno directive causes LTspice to refer a netlist back to the schematic that caused its creation. However when you create a netlist from scratch a schematic diagram is not created. The process doesn't work in that direction. The directive is pointless for a stand alone netlist. Feel free to delete it.
17.Press ctrl-S to save what you just typed.
 It will be saved under the file name you typed in step 3. 

Running the simulation and viewing the results.

 1. Type ctl-R to run the simulation.
 2. When the simulation is finished a new window will open causing JAWS or NVDA to announce the file name.
 3. To access the correct menu the focus must be on the correct window. After the simulation runs it should be correct. Press alt-F and a menu will open. Down arrow through it until you hear print monochrome. The next down arrow should land you on Export data as text. If instead you hear a file name press esc twice. Then press control tab. You will hear the file name announced. Press alt-F again and down arrow through the menu. This time you should find export data as text file just below print monochrome. Press enter on it.
 4. You will hear select trace to export.
 5. Press tab until you hear extended select list box.
 6. There are only 5 items in the list. Use down and up arrows to step through them. The one you want this time is the second one V(n2), voltage at node 2. Set to that one and press enter.
 7. If this is your second or higher time to run through these steps you will get a message to the effect that the file already exists and do you want to over right it? Answer yes.
 8. Press windows key and M. This will expose the desktop. May be optional on your computer. Now you need to open a text processing program. Note pad is the best for this purpose but whatever you are familiar with will do and I assume you know how to use it.
 9. Open the program and press ctrl-o. First find the folder LTspiceXVII. In this folder find the file with the file name you gave to the netlist but with the extension .txt. Open this file.
 10. Read the data. There are three columns in the file. Frequency in Hz, Magnitude in dB, and Phase angle in degrees. For the first point at 1.0000 etc. Hz the magnitude is a negative number very close to zero. That is what it should be. The dB of output divided by input at 1 hz could be called zero but if the accuracy is high enough it shows as a slightly negative number. At 1 MHz the magnitude could be called minus 60 dB but it's just a little off from that.
