read & write from C++

Sohrab

Hi,

I build a .cir file and run it through C++ by calling SPICE.

then I want to read the results for a voltage variable. The problem is the precision of the output.

.out file has a limited precision, even by setting .OPTIONS NUMDGT, the precision is limited to 15 digits.

Is it any "command line option" to make the SPICE save the results as .xls or .dat file, or somehow with better precision?!

    Pretty sure that PSpice will have maxed out at 15 digit precision given the likely target application area. If you really need more precision, you probably need to look to another SPICE implemantation.

    What level of precision you are looking for? Is 15 digit less?

    You can not directly write .xls at simulation time. However one can export the simulation results in csv format from PSpice after loading the simulation result (.dat file)
