Export data to CSV format

CPete
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.

  • From the results browser you can select the signals in Wavescan and do File->Save Signal. Then you can choose the output to be in CSV, VCSV (additional info added for ViVA's purpose), Matlab, or spectre input format. Alternatively you can send the data to a table and then do File->Save as CSV from the table.

    If you've already plotted the traces and have the waveform window, you can select the traces you want (or do Trace->Select All), and then do Trace->Save and save as CSV, VCSV, Matlab etc.

    hi i want to export eye diagram to a csv file i do exactly what you said i do Trace->Select All, and then do Trace->Save and save as CSV, but there is no csv file where i saved the file  i tried with vcvs no difference .why ?  what should i do to produce csv file

    Which version of the tools are you using? I just tried this in IC617 and it does work. Note however that exporting an eye diagram as CSV or VCSV only saves the original waveform because the folded axis doesn't make a great deal of sense in a CSV file.

    Take care in ViVA because the directory in the file browser when you do Right Mouse->Send to->Export is not necessarily the working directory by default.

    Next time I suggest you read the forum guidelines before you post. Failing to mention that you are using an 8 year old version of the tool (I think it's about 8 years - I don't have access to that precise version - the closest I could find was the first ISR (hotfix) which came out in February 2010), plus posting on the end of a 7 year old thread are both things it tells you not to do in the guidelines.

    If you'd mentioned the version, it might have been possible to tell you why it didn't work. The waveform tool between then and now is totally different.

    I'm not sure there's a good reason to be using such an ancient version of the tools.

    Andrew.
