Export data to CSV format

CPete
CPete over 14 years ago
I'm trying to export I-V curves from the Spectre Simulator into CSV files. However, the save/save as menus only allow for saving the data in a figure-format file or as a PNG/TIFF/Image File. Is there a mode, command, or code sequence that would allow me to export my data to CSV or other data formats readable in Excel? Thank you for your assistance.

    Dear Andrew,

          I am running spectre with an external software (MATLAB). It is done using commands (spectre input.scs) in "Command Window" of MATLAB.

    Since, I want to post process and optimize the Cadence simulation, I need to access the inputs and outputs of the Cadence simulation. The inputs variable and parameters are available in the input.scs file in the netlist root (It will be valuable if you know also how it is possible to change the data of input.scs using commands).

    But, the output.csv should be generated manually as you explained. The problem is that for an optimization, MATLAB will invoke cadence for too many iterations. Therefore, it is impossible to generate the output.csv each time with the mentioned approach. I suppose to use some commands for this job and include them in my MATLAB scripts.

    Regarding to "Ocean Scripts", I don't know what is it. But, if it will help the problem, explain me how.

    Sincerely Yours,

    Milad
