Repeating vector files

Hazem Al Indari
Hazem Al Indari over 4 years ago

Hallo,

I am simulating a circuit with one input vector file, but I want the same vector to be repeated for the whole time of simulation with no stop. Is there a way to make a vector file repeat itself until the end of the simulation time, and if possible can I change the period time in the vector file from Ade L, for example as a design variable?

this is pattern and I want it to repeat for 1000 times at least without typing it 1000 times in the file.

1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 100000 100000 100000 100000 100000 100000 100000 100000 100000

0100 0100 0100 0100 1000 0100 0100 0100 0100 010000 010000 010000 010000 000100 010000 010000 010000 010000

1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 100000 100000 100000 100000 100000 100000 100000 100000 100000

    Assuming you're talking about Spectre's "vec_include" vector file (as documented in the Digital Vector File Format appendix of the Spectre Classic Simulator, Spectre APS, Spectre X, and Spectre XPS User Guide), and set up in ADE via the Vector Files tab on the Setup->Simulation Files form in ADE, then I don't think this is possible (at least I couldn't find anything in the documentation, nor any requests for this). It's a good suggestion though, so please contact customer support to request this enhancement.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
