Reading input/data file

Hi!

I've built a 32 bit floating point adder schematic and I'd like to read different floating point numbers (around 100  32 bit words where each bit is vdc=1 or 0)  in during a simulation. What is the best way to accomplish it?

Any insight will be helpful.

 

Thank you!

    You would type "spectre -h vector" in a UNIX terminal. Alternatively look at the documentation in cdsdoc.

    If you want to have an include file, you'd create a file called (say) incvector.scs with the contents:

    vec_include "vector_filename" 

    The details of the vector file itself are covered in more detail in (I think) the Ultrasim User Guide (check <MMSIMinstDir>/doc/UltraSim_User/UltraSim_User.pdf or use cdsdoc/cdnshelp depending on the simulator version you're using).

    To reference the include file, use Setup->Model Library and then add the path to the incvector.scs file.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
