DWDT Spreadsheet String to Digital

compress data specifies whether to compress the digital output. The default is TRUE.
spreadsheet string contains numeric or string values separated into columns by delimiters, such as tabs or commas, with an end-of-line (EOL) character separating rows. spreadsheet string should be a delimited list of ASCII characters representing the 8 supported digital data states, shown in the following table.

Value Digital Data State Description
0 0 (Drive Low) Force logic low. Drive to the low voltage level (VOL).
1 1 (Drive High) Force logic high. Drive to the high voltage level (VOH).
2 Z (Force Off) Force logic high impedance. Turn the driver off.
3 L (Compare Low) Compare logic low (edge). Compare for a voltage level lower than the low voltage threshold.
4 H (Compare High) Compare logic high (edge). Compare for a voltage level higher than the high voltage threshold (VOH).
5 X (Compare Unknown) Compare logic unknown. Do not compare.
6 T (Compare Off) Compare logic high impedance (edge). Compare for a voltage level between the low voltage threshold (VOL) and the high voltage threshold (VOH).
7 V (Compare Valid) Compare logic valid level (edge). Compare for a voltage level either lower than the low voltage threshold (VOL) or higher than the high voltage threshold (VOH).
delimiter is the value or values used to separate fields in the spreadsheet file. The default is a single tab character.
sample rate specifies the frequency in samples per second of the output digital waveform.
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
position first column specifies whether the first column from spreadsheet string represents the least significant bit (LSB) or most significant bit (MSB) of the waveform.
digital waveform returns the converted digital waveform.
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
compress data specifies whether to compress the digital output. The default is FALSE.
