Pspice Command Line Export .Dat to CSV

mjsch

I am using psp_cmd.exe to run Orcad pspice simulations. I would like a way to export these .dat files to text files for further parsing and plotting (I am using Python, not MATLAB). Is there command line access to the .dat export?

Alternatively, how can I parse the .dat files output by pspice into text files, maybe through a different exe file?

    You best approach might be to export the simulation results to CSDF format, at least that is text, and then parse that.

    Hello, do you know how to do this via a command line interface? as far as I can tell, psp_cmd.exe seems not to support output of probe data to anything other than a DAT file natively. An extra conversion step to plaintext is fine, but I'm asking how to do that. 

  • oldmouldy
    CSDF is a switch for the .PROBE control, .PROBE/CSDF will switch the Probe output from DAT to CSDF

    Thanks! That did it. 

    Now I just have to figure out how to make sense out of the CSDF files...

    Hi, did you find a way to use those CSD files using python or something else? I am doing something similar and need to extract the data from Pspice to a separate plot.
