How to plot a graph?

leongec
leongec over 16 years ago

hello all, i am a newbie for cadence

 I would like to plot a graph on the wavescan. Instead of getting the plot data  from simulation, i need to plot a graph with my own equation. For my understanding, i should load a .raw file into the graph window. My another problem is, how to generate .raw file?

 

Thank you for your advice!

    The problem is the beginning of the file. If you call the file something.vcvs and make it look like this:

    ;S21
    ;X, Y
    ;Re, Re
    ;freq, S21
    ;Hz, dB
    1.50E+09,-4.15E+00
    1.51E+09,-4.17E+00
    1.51E+09,-4.17E+00
    1.52E+09,-4.10E+00
    1.52E+09,-3.94E+00
    1.53E+09,-3.82E+00
    1.53E+09,-3.79E+00
    1.54E+09,-3.88E+00
    1.54E+09,-4.01E+00

    Then you can directly open it in wavescan or ViVA (IC615) . getAsciiWave  will also read this (the x and y skip values should be 0, because it automatically skips the semi-colon lines).

    The original file you gave can be read with getAsciiWave if you specify ?xskip 4 ?yskip 4.
