Output file folder path choice

QSPICE
1

Dear all,
I am Guillaume, hardware engineer.

I use to work with LTSpice for quite a long time now.
I use to work on files which are on distant storage and also in Sharepoint folder (with local synchronization).

In order to avoid access time issue or to avoid to have large files that synchronize through the internet i set a folder on my SSD drive on my computer for the output of LTSpice simulation.
I also used to limit the list of signal i saved to help the simulation to run as fast as possible.
it works well.

When using QSpice the ouptut is in the same folder as the .qsch file, so it is not the same behavior as for LTSpice.

Is it possible to set the output path folder the same way as for LTSpice by choosing the output folder path ?
Any recommendation. Clearly i would like to avoid working locally and then post my files.

If this option is not available now, will it be available in the future.

Thanks for your support

Currently, I am not aware of any method that can achieve this using the GUI. However, you can accomplish this task using batch commands.

Assuming you have

  • Qspice installed in C:\Program Files\QSPICE\
  • Schematic file in C:\temp\QspiceQSCH\
  • Circuit schematic named Circuit.qsch
  • You want the data file to be stored in C:\temp\QspiceQRAW\

Here is the batch command to run the simulation, store its data in another folder, and plot that set of data in that folder.

path C:\Program Files\QSPICE\
cd C:\temp\QspiceQSCH\
QUX -Netlist "Circuit.qsch"
QSPICE64 -binary "Circuit.cir" -r "C:\temp\QspiceQRAW\Circuit.qraw"
QUX "C:\temp\QspiceQRAW\Circuit.qraw"
