how to import data from matlab to pspice

Hi.

I am an engineering student and I have a project to do which envolves
working with both matlab and pspice. I read some things about using
spice values in matlab but I found nothing in the other way. I would
like to know if it is possible to import data such as values and
graphics from matlab to pspice and how to do it. I know pspice is not
the best simulation program but its use is compulsory.

Thank you in advance.

Really? Who told you that?

Depends on what you want to do with it. Are you trying to model some
part's behavior, or want a custom stimulus on a node, or just want to
compare data from your Matlab simulation with your PSpice simulation.
All these can be done, but each is different...

Its a demand from the teacher... If anyone knows how to do what I
asked, I would really apreciate it.

We have a matrix with the values from a graphic made in Matlab and we
want that matrix to be the input of an amplifier/ ECG simulator in
pSpice.

Ok, that can be interpreted two ways.

If you want these values to be the signal that is then input into your
amplifier, then you need to look at the VPWL_FILE parts. These take
the values from a text file, assumed to be in time/voltage (or
time/current) pairs, and use that to create the input waveform.

If these are somehow to be the model for the input stage itself, then
you will need to explore Etable parts. These basically can take a
table of vin/vout (or other similiar combinations) and model a part.

Hi, i´m facing the same problem. I have tried VPWL_FILE but when i run
spice appears "Quoted strings must fit on one line". I used an
exported file from matlab with format -ASCII, with two collumns.
Can somebody help??

Post a sample line. It's probably just a syntactical confusion.

I know it works because I've taken an output from one simulation and
used it as a signal source for another simulation.
