    MATLAB digit precision/ Cadence simulation file import Reply

    Greetings
    I have been trying to import simulation data from Cadence into MATLAB. I save the simulation data in csv format and imported it into MATLAB, but the import wizard shows truncated values with only 4 digit precision while the original values taken from Cadence have upto 15 digit precision. I have attached a figure for reference. Can i enhance digit precision in MATLAB in import wizard?

    "MATLAB does its internal arithmetic in IEEE floating point precision using approximately 16 decimal digits, but the default display is only 5 decimal digits, so do not be too concerned about the digits actually displayed as MATLAB output...."

    Use the Matlab format function - for example type "format long" to change the default output formatting. See the Matlab help for more details.

    Regards,
