Load from SPICE (Time Domain XY)

Imports data from a SPICE, PSpice, or Multisim file.

SPICE is a general-purpose circuit simulation program for nonlinear DC, nonlinear transient, and linear AC analyses. PSpice is SPICE for Windows and is part of the OrCAD® product line by Cadence Design Systems Inc. Multisim is an integrated desktop design entry and simulation system for design engineers created by Electronics Workbench.

Parameter	Description
Imported Signal	Displays the signal you imported from a SPICE, PSpice, or Multisim file.
File and Signal Selection	Contains the following options: Simulation file type—Specifies the type of file to import. Options include SPICE, PSpice, and Multisim. The default is SPICE. Import file path—Specifies the name and location of the file you want to import. You can specify an absolute or relative path to the file. If you specify an absolute path, this step saves the path with the project. If you specify a relative path and you do not save the project, this step assumes the path is relative to the My Documents folder. If you specify a relative path and you save the project, the path is relative to the location where you save the project. Signals in file—Lists the signals in the file and specifies which signal the Imported Signal graph displays. Import—Specifies whether to import the selected signal from the file you specify in Import file path. If you place a checkmark in one of the Import checkboxes, LabVIEW SignalExpress exports that signal to the Project View. You can then send that signal to another step or plot it on the Data View. Domain—Specifies the data type of the output signal. The default is XY Pairs-Time. Y axis unit—Specifies the unit type for the input signal. Selecting Unitless specifies to not associate any unit with the input signal. Selecting Custom specifies that the input signal contains an associated unit within the data. X axis unit—Specifies the unit type for the input signal. Selecting Unitless specifies to not associate any unit with the input signal. Selecting Custom specifies that the input signal contains an associated unit within the data.

Description

Imported Signal

Displays the signal you imported from a SPICE, PSpice, or Multisim file.

File and Signal Selection

Contains the following options:

Simulation file type—Specifies the type of file to import. Options include SPICE, PSpice, and Multisim. The default is SPICE.
Import file path—Specifies the name and location of the file you want to import. You can specify an absolute or relative path to the file. If you specify an absolute path, this step saves the path with the project. If you specify a relative path and you do not save the project, this step assumes the path is relative to the My Documents folder. If you specify a relative path and you save the project, the path is relative to the location where you save the project.
Signals in file—Lists the signals in the file and specifies which signal the Imported Signal graph displays.
Import—Specifies whether to import the selected signal from the file you specify in Import file path. If you place a checkmark in one of the Import checkboxes, LabVIEW SignalExpress exports that signal to the Project View. You can then send that signal to another step or plot it on the Data View.
Domain—Specifies the data type of the output signal. The default is XY Pairs-Time.
Y axis unit—Specifies the unit type for the input signal. Selecting Unitless specifies to not associate any unit with the input signal. Selecting Custom specifies that the input signal contains an associated unit within the data.
X axis unit—Specifies the unit type for the input signal. Selecting Unitless specifies to not associate any unit with the input signal. Selecting Custom specifies that the input signal contains an associated unit within the data.
