Using ipwlf with a file input

$

Hello,

I am using virtuoso 6.1.9 release. I was looking for documentation for how to include a file in an ipwlf instance on the support site but was unable to find one. I am looking to add the current loading profile from my circuit to the output of a regulator. I had the some questions about using IPWLF as an instance.

1) what kind of file formats does the ipwlf recognize? .txt or .csv etc. 

What would be best file format to export my data from ViVA and then use it as a file for IPWLF instance?

2) There doesn't appear to be a browse button to select a file. Should I just use the absolute path to the file if it is located in my home directory? Would virtuoso recognize the file and the data it contains?

3) A colleague pointed out that the exported data should be two columns of time stamps and the respective current values with a space in between. I was also told that the time stamps should be monotonic and unique but in my file I have the same time stamp with different values? Any way to clean up this saved simulation data or plot it in ViVA so that each time stamp has a discrete value?

Thanks
