Hierarchy delimiter and path suddenly changes in PSF

Hey all, I'm still stuck running in the 5.1 stream and using WaveView. Recently all my ocean scripts stopped working when trying to plot/access certain device currents. When I looked into it, it appears that the paths have changed in the psf file. For example, I was using i(“/Iload/L0/PLUS”) and now the same data is accessed i(“Iload:L0:1”) I've seen this in the past but I've never figured out what I did or what happened to make the paths changed. Anyone have an idea? Right now I'm using aps as my simulator but I've used spectre and seen the same thing. When I use the "outputs" command it still lists the "/Iload/L0/PLUS" node as being available but when I go use the waveform it can't find it. Thanks for any help

Note that you should not use the userCmdLineOption to change the format. This is because the ADE netlister (and various things) need to know what format is being used, in order to do mapping appropriately.
In IC5141 this should be set by:
envSetVal("spectre.envOpts" "simOutputFormat" 'string "psfbin")
In IC613/IC614 it is:
envSetVal("spectre.outputs" "simOutputFormat" 'string "psfbin")
In IC613/4 it is also settable on the Outputs->Save All form (as is the +rtsf flag).
In IC5141, it's OK to put +rtsf on the userCmdLineOption field, because the netlister doesn't need to know about this.
Regards,
Andrew.
