Output data format

[An Zou]

Hi,

I am using ngspice to simulate ciruict behaviors and save the voltage to documents using "wrdata Voltage1 V(1000002001)"

The data saved in the documents are sometimes "0.9 V" and sometimes "9.0e-1 V". Does someone know how to save the data using the format of "0.9 V".

Thank you so much,

An Zou

Do you have an example? Are you using ngspice-27?

Try manipulating

.option numdgt=xxx

Hi, Marcel,

Thank you so much. I am thinking about how to save data like "v(1)[n-1] = 1.0453e+00" instead of "v(1)[n-1] = 0.10453e+01".

I have to read in the data from ngspice to another program to do some calcuation, so that I hope the output format be consistant.

Thank you again,

An

That sure is a strange format, but I don't think there should be
numerical problems for that other program (the number of
significant digits stays the same).

I can imagine that it is a nuisance to read numbers that go all
over the place.

In NGSPICE-27 you can "set numdgt=21" and WRDATA will output
accordingly, wasting some space.

Unfortunately you can't force it to output in binary.

Hi, Marcel,

Thank you so so ... much for your advice. I will try it now!

Best,
