SIMPLORER 6.0 — Manual 365
A simulation results in several types of data, which can be saved in an output file or displayed
online using output definitions.
Output Destinations
Output to File Output to Screen
ModelName.sdb
For presentation in the
DAY Post Processor
Analog Mode
For outputs in:
• View Tool
• Display Elements
• Extern View
Display Elements and “Extern View” representation can be used only if the simulation model
was created in the Schematic. See also 12.2 “Display Elements” on page 369.
SIMPLORER 6.0 programs automatically create .sdb files to store simulation results and data,
but the .mdx, .mda, and .mdk formats from former versions can still be used. The .mdx format
or other ASCII file formats are used to describe characteristics. See also “The .mdx File Format”
on page 467.
Defines an analog online output for the View Tool.
Defines an offline output (.sdb file) for DAY Post Processor or external programs.
Defines an offline output (.sdb file) for DAY Post
Processor or external programs.
Display Elements
Display Elements are a group of elements to display results online during the simulation directly
on the sheet in the Schematic. Display Elements are included in the «Display» tab and
are placed on the sheet like any other component. There are different types of Display Elements
for displays in graphical, numeric, and table form as well as for signal processing as
mathematical functions, data management, or FFT analysis.
Except from the Bode Plot and Nyquist Diagram, every Display Element can open its own External
View display, which has, in addition, a cursor function for data analysis.
