I have a list of time versus voltage data in a text file. How can I use this as an input in a simulation?

There are two sources that can import time versus voltage data from a text file: the User Source and the Voltage Source using the PWL type.

The User file source is a voltage source whose waveform or curve comes from an ASCII text file.

For further information on formatting the user source file, see the following article in the Newsletter section:

Converting an Excel File to a User Source File

The PWL type for the Voltage Source component uses the FILE="filename" designation to specify the file name to import data from. The file content must be in the same format as the standard data that a PWL source uses.

For time versus current data, the PWL type for the Current Source component can be used.
