PSpice binary import

16 Sep 2008 (Updated 12 Dec 2011)

lightning fast import for PSpice binary *.dat files

File Information
Description	This M-File imports data from binary *.dat files, created with PSpice. It has been tested for PSpice 6.0 (DOS), 9.1 (Student), 10.0.3 and 16.2.0. If you are using other versions of PSpice, you might need to adjust the code! The M-file further has been tested with PSpice's transient analysis, AC and frequency sweeps. However, it might not be able to import digital data. I would be happy to help out, if you can provide a small sample file created with another version of PSpice or containing a different data type
Required Products	MATLAB
MATLAB release	MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a)
Other requirements	You need PSpice to create *.dat files. PSpice 6.0 for DOS is free. Google for 'pspice dos turkish', click PSPICE-ECS, and download disk 1 and 2.

18 Sep 2008	small improvements - according to M-Lind, help warnings, ...
22 Sep 2008	fclose(fid) was missing - is fixed now
20 Jun 2009	fixed an error for Matlab R2009a since hex2bin.m turned very picky (reported by Enea Bianda from ETH Zurich, Switzerland) fixed an error before calling uigetfile.m using the previous path
17 Aug 2009	added compatibility for PSpice 16.2.0 (file was gently provided by Lars Bartschat from UniBw München)
22 Nov 2011	updated the format of output variables to support frequency sweeps and adjusted plots to contain phase data if present
12 Dec 2011	Fixed output structure and plot function for frequency related data to support real and imaginary parts. Data files were provided by Fernando Schlemm Ribeiro from Rio de Janeiro State University, Brazil.
