read out Pspice plot in file

[Bernhard Krämer]

Hello,

I have simulated a circuit in Pspice and plotted out a Nyquist graph of my
output. Now, in order to verify a theory, I want to fit a formula on the
obtained graph.
I'd like to use Gnuplot to perform the fit. So all I need are the datapoints
in a file. Unfortunately, the .dat-file is binary. Is there a way to obtain
a file containing the datapoints?

Regards,

Bernhard

In Probe, left-click on the waveform name, ctrl-C.

In a _good_ text editor (like UltraEdit), ctrl-V. The X-Y data points
will be in a list.

You can also paste into Excel, etc.

Beware, the list may be long. One I just tried, to refresh my memory,
was 666,000 lines ;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
