matlab interface and PSF data format

vlau2
vlau2 over 17 years ago

I am developing a custom function in Cadence's calculator to do some advance analysis from simulation data.  I know how to read cadence's simulation data from matlab (using measure functions), after performing matlab transformation of simulation data, I want to write it back to cadence (possibly in PSF data format) so that cadence can read the data and plot it.  Can someone tells me whether this approach make sense?  And is there any functions available to write the matlab data back in PSF format?

     IMHO makes no sense.

     1. PSF is a proprietary waveform format of Cadence, you will  not 
         find any specification or documentation about.
     2. The Analog Waveform Display (AWD) which evaluated the PSF will be replaced
         finally in DFII 6.1. by WaveScan which has the wave form format SST2.
         So you would develop something for a dead end.

    The best would be if Cadence would support an open waveform standard.
    There are change requests for this, but as far as I know there has not much
    happened in this direction.
