Multiple strobedelays in one simulation

Dushan
Dushan over 15 years ago

Is it possible to do strobing with more than one strobedelay parameter in a single simulation? I am trying to sample the output signal right before and right after a clock edge, but don't want to run two simulations with different strobedelay since my simulations are already  too long.

 Thanks,

Dusan

    Hi Dusan,

    No, this is not possible. You could instead use something like two zvcvs to specify the period and delay - this will force a time point at each of the two edges - ah, hang on, you can't use that with pss (I think). So you could instead use a pulse source - it will put a breakpoint at each point on the pulse, which will force a simulation time point there.

    Then you could use the sample function in the calculator afterwards to just pick the timepoints you want for each of the two cases, and then output that to CSV.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

     Hi Andrew,

     It works nicely with a pulse source. Thanks a lot.
