skill to plot waveform contained in a file into w-viewer (could be VIVA)

Posting in the hope that someone has a function they can share that will take a file (two columns of x, y data) and plot that in the active graph window.

Probably leverages this solution from CCS :
How to overlay waveforms created by function ‘drCreateWaveform’ in IC6.1.5 ViVA?

Thanks

If I don't hear back, I'll post my solution later next week..

    Thanks Andrew - that helped.

    Is there a way to set units on the x-axis?  ViVA doesn't let you overlay if the units don't match..

    One way of course is to dump the sim-generated waveform into a file and get rid of its units and plot that also using getAsciiWave..

    Thanks!
