Electronic – LTspice XVII: Subcircuit pin names in Operating Point analysis

ltspice

Is there a way to have subcircuit names show up in the Operating Point analysis?

For instance, I have this test circuit:

Schematic

Here, the pins are named A and K for the opto's LED and C and E for its transistor pins. In Transient analysis, measuring the currents is intuitive: the traces are named Ix(U1:A) for anode current, Ix(U1:C) for collector current, etc. But when I run an Operating Point analysis, the pins are simply numbered:

OP

EDIT: Below is the subcircuit model.

.subckt TLP383 1 2 3 4
R1 N003 2 2
D1 1 N003 LD
G1 3 N002 N003 2 {gain}
C1 1 2 30p
Q1 3 N002 4 [4] NP
.model LD D(Is=1.2e-12 N=1.6 Cjo=30p)
.model NP NPN(Bf=610 Vaf=140 Ikf=15m Rc=1 Cjc=19p Cje=7p Cjs=7p C2=1e-15)
.ends TLP383

The {gain} value for -GR and -GB is 3.25m and 6.78m, respectively.

No and there probably wont be, subcircuits are like functions. The nets are local just like variables have scope inside of a function.

You wouldn't all nodes to show up in that list, if you had a circuit with several IC's, the list could be hundreds of items long and then there would be questions of how to reduce the size of the list.

If you really do have to have a node on the inside, you'll need to edit the component and bring it out of the part. Or you could copy out the subcircuit and build it in your schematic.
