I can open .st0 files using wordpad, but when I use wordpad to open the .tr0 files, I can only see piles of weird codes. Thank you in advance. Regards, Terry

Hey terry

New to hspice?!! ::)
Well, say you have a deck called test.sp, when you execute
hspice -i test.sp
Output files test.lis, test.tr0, and test.st0 are written in the directory where the Star-Hspice command is executed.

The various files are
Output listing - . lis , or user-specified

Transient analysis results- . tr# | (binary output, waveform info etc.., you can see this in awaves)

Transient analysis measurement results . mt# (you can read this)

Output status-. st# (any errors, warnings, notices)

Hope this helps!

Gau

There is a setting to change it to ascii, but then it's just a bunch of numbers, so probably you do want to run awaves or cosmoscope.

Got it, thank you so much for your clear explanation.
