Simulate N-bits input configuration in transient

IKIF

Hi.
I simulate transient and during the simulation I want to change N-bit configuration input. 
How I do that without using N-sources with defining delays/periods/..  in each source ?

Thank you in advance.

    That wasn't what I asked. You just repeated what you'd said in your original post.

    Let me spell it out (I would have thought "which simulator" was pretty clear though). Are you using spectre? Are you using AMS Designer? Are you using some other simulator? If so, which?

    I suggest you use a Vector File in that case. This is specified via Setup→SImulation Files→Vector Files in ADE, and the syntax is covered in the Spectre User Guide (<SPECTREinstDir>/doc/spectreuser/spectreuser.pdf or use <SPECTREinstDir>/bin/cdnshelp (or cda if using the latest version of Spectre) and accessing it that way). It's in Appendix D of the version I was looking at, headed Digital Vector File Format.
