Electronic device and method of generating composite electrical signals

A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method of generating composite electrical signals, comprising:

• (a) installing a plurality of post-processing software into an electronic device;
• (b) loading an output file of electronic circuit simulation software, wherein the output files comprises times and voltages of data points that represent an electrical signal;
• (c) determining whether one of the installed post-processing software is able to read the output file according to a format of the output file;
• (d) installing a new post-processing software that is able to read the output file into the electronic device, upon the condition that none of the installed post-processing software is able to read the output file;
• (e) reading the times and the voltages of the data points that represent the electrical signal from the output file using the installed post-processing software;
• (f) selecting an output type of the electrical signal to obtain a time interval of outputs of the electrical signal;
• (g) analyzing a worst bit combination of outputs of the electrical signal according to the times, the voltage, and the time interval, and generating a composite electrical signal according to the worst bit combination;
