Cadence, like other vendor, has their own proprietary format, so you won't be able to use any other tool (e.g. text editor) to view their file (it's in a binary form by the way). However, Cadence, like other vendors, also support the open format VCD, which is in a text file.

For your purpose, it's probabl alot simpler to just capture the info in your Verilog file and output the data of every cycle to a text file yourself. This way you know exactly the format.

For example:

module A (
input
input abc;
ouptut xyz;

always @(posedge clk) begin
// output abc, XYZ to text file, along with time (see Verilog manual for I/O command
