Abstract: The introduction elaborates on the important applications of VCD (Value Change Dump) and WGL (Waveform Generation Language) waveform description files in the field of integrated circuits. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the elements in VCD and WGL files. By considering the characteristics of waveform files, a strategy of parsing files line by line and matching keywords is adopted. A configuration file is introduced to control the data processing process, converting waveform files into the test vectors required by ATE (Automatic Test Equipment). Finally, the implementation is achieved in a Linux environment using C/C++ languages. Practical applications have shown that this method simplifies and enhances the conversion process, significantly reducing the conversion time of VCD and WGL files while ensuring the normal functioning of test vectors, thus achieving the goal of improving conversion efficiency.
