the format/structure of pspice *.dat file

I am a student of strathclyde university. My project should know  the format/structure of pspice *.dat file to export it to MATLAB.

As we know, pspice *.dat files are hybrids (text and binary).If we open .dat files with a (hex-) editor, what is the format/structure of pspice *.dat file ? Just like i=0x0000000000000000, what's that mean?

If anyone can give a sample or other files.My e-mil is yilong.zhu@eee.strath.ac.uk

Thanks for your help.

  • There is an optional  text only format called CSDF, you can enable this through the Data Collection tab in the PSpice template. CSDF is a standard format which you should be able to interpret.

    Also, specifically for MATLAB, you can get the SLPS, SimuLink / PSpice, Option for PSpice, this will allow co-simulation in PSpice and MATLAB.

  • First, thank you for your reply.

    My project is a little special.

    I am required to use a *.m file(MATLAB) to import *.dat file directly. To do that, i should know the format/structure of pspice *.dat file.

    Also.But i can't interpret CSDF by myself. Can you give me a simple example?

    Thanks.
