View Command Stack Tab:

As described in the General Introduction, the processing of commands in SPICE occurs via a command line interpreter which sequentially executes commands from a first-in-first-out stack.  The View Command Stack tab allows the user to see the commands remaining to be executed in the stack.  An example is shown in the following image:
command stack
The uppermost text box shows the currently executing command and the lower box shows the list of commands to be executed.  Note that the command at the top of this list will be the first executed.  The command stack can be cleared by clicking on the blue Clear Command Stack button.  The user will then be asked to confirm that they want to remove all commands from the stack.  In addition, the STOP button will stop the currently running command and will also remove all commands from the stack.
