Hello,

If Ihave 'fsdb' file which represents the simulations results of a simulation (waveforms), is there a way to transform it into pwl (piece wise linear) signals that I can use as stimulis ?

Thanks,

Kotb

    Hi Kotb,

    You can open the FSDB file in ViVA and then in the results browser do right-mouse->Export over the signal you wish to convert to PWL and export it in "SPECTRE" format. This will create a PWL file that can be read with vpwlf from analogLib or vsource specifying that the PWL data is coming from a file.

    Andrew.
