@So when one does a transient simulation, the corresponding data/*.ds file in the workspace directory seems to be in binary rather than ASCII as what Data Files are supposed to be, as described here: http://edadocs.software.keysight.com/display/ads2009/Working+with+Data+Files .
So out of curiosity, what format is it at? Perhaps IFF?
Also, how does one translate it to one of the numerous ASCII file formats as described in the link above? Is there a straightforward way using DataAccessComponents?
If you find out how to decode the .ds files generated by ADS, let me know.
I currently use the MatlabOutput block to get my data automatically out of ADS, but that can be rather slow and memory-heavy for large simulations
