importing data in spectre

hi

i need to plot data along with simulation results. how can i do that
using spectre? i tried importing my data file (excel) into the results
browser, but that only takes .tbl (table) files. is there any way to
read and plot lookup tables in verilog a??

any help would be useful

regards

saurabh

If you can get the data from Excel into columns of text numbers (not hard), then
you can use the getAsciiWave function in the wavescan calculator to do this -
which you can then plot.

Or you can use the table function in the AWD calculator.

Or you can use my solution abTable on sourcelink.cadence.com.

Or you could use a PWL source to read x-y pairs in a simulation and then plot
that.

Lots of possibilities (without even starting on Verilog-A)!

Regards,

Andrew.
