There are several ways.

If you are using an old version (0.34), the best way is to 
re-enter the line containing the source.

If you are running interactively, use the "build" command, then 
enter that component with the new value.

In the spice-like batch mode, with the dot commands. first 
do ".option dupcheck", which will make it reject components 
with duplicate labels, then re-enter that component.

Instead of the option dupcheck, you can delete the component and 
re-enter it.  (delete VAC1)



I forget what order the numbers go it, so gnucap accepts named 
parameters.  You could enter: VAC1 11 0 SIN  ampl=1 freq=1k ..

If you are using a recent version, you can use parameters.  
Instead of giving a number for the frequency, give it a name.  
How about "frequency".  Then you can change the frequency with 
a param statement:  ".param frequency=2k"  then ".param 
frequency=3k", and so on.


Another way is to use the "generator".  Make the value of the 
source "generator".  You don't need any more on that line.  
Then use the "generator" command to configure it.
