Using a file for vpwlf source

BaaB

In ViVA I have a curve of a signal and I can export it to a file. Is it possible to somehow use this file to make stimulus signal for a source such as vpwlf or pwl?

Thank you?

    Thank you very much for the help and sorry for the late reply.

    I am not at school right now so I can not post the picture. I use PWL source a lot and it works perfectly if I input the values manually. However, I couldn't make it work with a file.

    For a file, I tried to do it as follows:

    1. Create a file with csv or txt extension such as stimulus.csv or stimulus.txt.

    2. Refer it by ADE --> Model Libraries and set the path of the file.

    3. From schematic, pick vsource and choose PWL type.

    In File section, type the name of the file (stimulus.csv or stimulus.txt)

    When I run the simulation, there is an error something like error numeric value. I will post it once I get to school.

    For the file, the content is something like this:

    0 1 

    1 2

    2 3

    The first column is time and the second column is value. They are separated by a space.
