I'm trying to make a super simple circuit simulation for a class, and I keep getting the same error:

ERROR -- Must be 'I' or 'V'

Here's the whole log:

Here's an image of the circuit:

The sim I'm currently running is a DC voltage sweep, from 0 to 0.75, on two temperatures, 20 and 35 degrees.

Any help is appreciated Thank you all in advance!

Don't use a comma as a decimal separator (e.g. 0,75). SPICE was born in the US and typically expects you to use a period instead.

    \$\begingroup\$ +1 mainly because having 7499 rep bothered me but this is the correct answer as well. Interesting how the OP put a period in the second to last sentence but not in their script. Probably either missed the comma button or the period button while typing. \$\endgroup\$
