Hello,
I have a circuit built in TINA TI and would like to simulate an ESD event for which I have a waveform for in a CSV formatted file.
How do I create a custom input signal with a "waveform.csv" file?
Thanks,
Guy,
Your data will need to be in a time-value pair format. Here is an example:
0 48.5570528112773
9.765625E-9 48.5570528112773
1.01867278400481E-8 48.7492503125614
1.16159884481995E-8 48.1682468117093
1.27011157525169E-8 47.3692610646567
1.39476285131894E-8 46.3728261997201
1.47464198782673E-8 45.6920004135114
1.60245435837592E-8 44.5372877402113
1.70292904447617E-8 43.5759482005177
1.7638518352121E-8 42.9712597394828
1.92847631725312E-8 41.260408940353
2.04482166989101E-8 39.9887771890189
2.20025663918695E-8 38.2179629742509
2.42303969164514E-8 35.557304681456
There is no header and the first time value must be greater than or equal to 0. The first entry is time, the second is the value. It can be used with a current or voltage source. You can load the file from the source as well as long as the format is correct. You must have the same number of values corresponding to each time step.
The data is space limited above, however, I believe that comma delimited will work as well.
Once you have the data in the proper format, place a source (Voltage or Current generator) and double left click on it to open the source. Click on the ellipsis and select the piecewise linear source. Right click in the open text space below the selection button and select Open... Navigate to your file to load it. Click on test to see the waveform appear in the drawing pane on the left.
If you have any additional questions, please let us know.
