Thanks a lot Gavin for your reply. As I espected there's no support for the "scripting" like commands in the plugin. I installed IRSIM from the official website and I'm trying to simulate .sim files + .cmd files. I still got error because the fancier commands are in the Tcl/Tk based version... But I can not find out how to install it, I couldn't find it in the IRSIM docs. How can I start it? Is there a way, even other than IRSIM, to perform simulations the way I need? I have no experience in this field, but It seems strange to me that I can't use a "foor" loop to define input vectors, write the down one-by-one is of course painful and error-prone.
