To create a .sp file, the program as i call the net list structure is typed in Notepad and SAVE AS <filename.sp>.

Output File(.lis) List File

Output listing file contains plenty of information on circuit analysis. This file lists all results obtained from the simulation. It includes

• HSPICE licensing information

• Error and Warning Report during the simulation

• Listing of the circuits

• Results from the anlysis of the circuit

THIS FILE IS CREATED AFTER THE .SP FILE IS SIMULATED USING HSPICE. THIS FILES GIVES ALL INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR .SP WITH ITS SIMULATION AND COMPAILATION MESSAGES.

 Graphic Files(.tr, .sw, .ac etc)

Graph data file are created by '.options nomod post' command. Using 'Avanwave' you can access to these graphical results from the simulation.

Avanwave is the simulator window where the ouput simulation results will be displayed.
