Question about apply VPWLF in Cadence

[jingshearer]

I want to use VPWLF source to add random noise-like signal as input of my circuit.
The file format for the signal is TXT(with time and voltage columns), can it be directly put into the "PWL file name" property of the source?
I cannot run simulation in spectre and the error is: ERROR(CMI-2011):Unable to open waveform file: "randomn"(this is the txt file) No such file or directory
Should I convert the file format or save it to a particular path?
Thx!!

Hi, jingshearer.
I think your wrote wrong destination path to your file.

So which path should I write? The full path of the file in my computer? like c:\....\....\randomn?
Thx in advance!

I'm working under Linux, so for example, if I have the file vpwlf.txt in my home directory, so i write in PWL file name
/home/pasha/vpwlf.txt
