A pure-Julia SPICE data file reader

SpiceData.jl

Description

The SpiceData.jl module provides a pure-Julia SPICE data file reader inspired by Michael H. Perrott's CppSim reader.

Sample Usage

Examples on how to use the SpiceData.jl capabilities can be found under the sample directory.

Installation

	julia> Pkg.add("SpiceData")

• Hspice Toolbox: http://www.cppsim.com/download_hspice_tools.html.

Known Limitations

Supported file formats

SpiceData currently supports the following SPICE file formats:

• 9601 (32-bit x-values & 32-bit y-values)
• 9602 (CppSim-specific format? 64-bit x-values & 64-bit y-values?)
• 2001 (64-bit x-values & 64-bit y-values)
• 2013 (64-bit x-values & 32-bit y-values)

Compatibility

Extensive compatibility testing of SpiceData.jl has not been performed. The module has been tested using the following environment(s):

• Linux / Julia-1.3.1 (64-bit)

spicedata.jl's Issues

Question: ngspice compatibility

Please excuse how basic this question is - I had a hunt, and I figured it was just quickest to ask.

Can I use this tool to read data saved from ngspice? The user manual (page 366 of http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/docs/ngspice-manual.pdf) calls the binary format Spice3f5. Just plugging it into SpiceData doesn't work (the test file test.tr0 works though).

I'd be happy to work on the implementation myself if you think it is worthwhile and not a huge extension.
