Eldo uses a number of different file types to accept control information and to provide results of
interest.
Table 9-1 contains a list of the file extensions Eldo uses, and where applicable provides a link to
the description of the file. is the name of the input netlist control file to be simulated
without the extension. For example, if the name of the input file is called test.cir, the associated
.wdb is test.wdb.
The files not generated by default are only produced by Eldo when the appropriate options have
been set in the input file or command line flags.

.chi
Main output log file containing ASCII data, including results and
error messages.
See “Interpreting the Output Log (.chi) File” on page 363.
You can view .chi files with the AMS Results Browser.
.wdb
Default when graphical output specified in netlist (option WDB
or -gwl wdb — default).
A binary output file generated by default for mixed-signal JWDB
format files. Viewed with the EZwave waveform viewer.
By default, using the .wdb format, the .EXTRACT and .MEAS
waveforms are also saved inside the EXT folder in the main .wdb
file. Waveforms defined by .DEFWAVE commands combined
with .PLOT are saved inside the appropriate analysis folder (for
example TRAN) in the main .wdb file.
See “EZwave Joint Waveform Database (JWDB)” on page 370.
