Hello,
I'm a little confused with doing simulations in nanosim. I have a spice netlist that I am simulating. I have connected a dummmy voltage source to my gates and want to use it to calculate current. When I use a normal stimulus file like so:
I get the values in the ".out" file. But I wanted to try using a vector file instead so that I could give inputs easier. If I do this, the sim seems to work fine but I get an error:
for the ".print I(Vtstp)" line.
Can anyone help me with what I'm doing wrong? Is it possible to use a vector file input and get the information I want? Thank you!
