What does actually the “unravel branch wrap” option do to the phase plot in LTspice?

Below two Bode plots are identical just that in the second one the option "unravel branch wrap" is unticked for the phase plot:

It adds or subtracts multiples of $2pi$ (360 degrees) to each point in the phase plot so that the phase is plotted continuously rather than having jumps in it.



We know that physically the phase is going to be continuous from frequency to frequency. However as the output of the analysis is a vector gain at each frequency, all angles are reduced to the base range of +/- 180 degrees, so the graph has no way of knowing at any one frequency how many times phase has wrapped around the circle.

            4 I have a device with two interfaces, eth0 and eth1. One should get its IP from a DHCP server and the other should get its IP statically. If my /etc/network/interfaces file is configured as follows: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp iface eth1 inet6 auto auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 Everything works great, eth1 gets its IP from the DHCP server, eth0 sets its IP statically from the information given, but if I try to change the order in the file, such as auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp iface eth1 inet6 auto In this case, eth1 fails to get an IP.

            Grub takes very long (several minutes) to open Menu (in Multi-Boot-System)

            Image
            0 I have a Multi-Boot-System with 4 different installations of Linux. (1 Manjaro, 3 Mint) spread over 2 hard drives (2 on each). After doing grub-install /dev/sdX and update-grub several times within each installation ... the Grub-menu needs more and more time to open. It started with a few more seconds, now it takes several minutes. I tried to purge and reinstall Grub but this made the problem even worse: apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common apt-get install grub-common grub-pc os-prober update-grub What could be causing this problem? linux grub2 multiboot share | improve this question edited 4 mins ago ...
