Waveform data file The data file contains simulation results that can be displayed graphically. PSpice reads this file automatically and displays waveforms reflecting circuit response at nets, pins, and parts that you marked in your schematic (cross-probing). You can set up your design so PSpice displays the results as the simulation progresses or after the simulation completes. For a description of how to display simulation results, see Part four: Viewing results. For a description of the waveform analyzer program, see What is waveform analysis? on page 41. After PSpice has read the data file and displays the initial set of results, you can add more waveforms and perform post-simulation analysis of the data. There are two ways to add waveforms to the display: ■ From within PSpice, by specifying trace expressions. ■ From within the design entry tool, by cross-probing. PSpice output file The PSpice output file is an ASCII text file that contains: ■ the netlist representation of the circuit, ■ the PSpice command syntax for simulation commands and options (like the enabled analyses), ■ simulation results, and ■ warning and error messages for problems encountered during read-in or simulation. Its content is determined by: ■ the types of analyses you run, ■ the options you select for running PSpice, and ■ the simulation control symbols (like VPRINT1 and VPLOT1, available in SPECIAL library) that you place and connect to nets in your design.
