Generating data in csv format from netlist simulation

sidm

Hi All,

is there a way to include commands in the netlist that dump out waveform results in a standard format like csv , txt  or excel ?

It will also be nice to know netlist statements to get the node voltages , currents and component powers ?

thank you

    Thanks for the reply Andrew, the netlist is being simulated using spectre from command line.

    The only options really are to use the spectre "print" command (see "spectre -h print") or to save to an ASCII output format (e.g via -f psfascii on the command line, or maybe the old -f nutascii format; note that nutbin/nutascii are not that well supported).

    Or run the simulation as normal and post-process the results afterwards using (say) OCEAN/SKILL functions.
