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.

    Milad,

    Rather than generating a CSV and then reading that into Matlab, it would be far simpler to use the Spectre toolbox for Matlab that is provided in the MMSIM installation. If you run `cds_root spectre`/tools/bin/cdnshelp and search for "Matlab" you'll find info on it.

    This toolbox (using the cds_srr matlab function that we provide) allows you to directly read the simulation results into Matlab without needing to convert them to CSV first.

    That's why I asked - I had a sneaking suspicion that you might want to read it into Matlab...

    The simulation database can contain lots of other things too - not just transient results. You can save (via info analysis statements) the parameters used, the component values, and numerous other things.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
