    Hi Kumar

    If you are using spectre, you can simply open a terminal window and enter the following cmd:
    unix>spectre -W

    The above will give you the specific spectre version that you are using. The list of selectable simulators in ade-L can be view under "Setup->Simulator". You can invoke ade-L from "Tools" menu of a schematic.

    Hope that this is what you need. : )

    Best regards
    Quek

    Kumar,

    Unlike IC5141, IC61x versions does not have simulators bundled in it. All simulators (Spectre, Spectre RF, UltrasSim, APS) are now part of MMSIM package. You need to have MMSIM installed if you are using IC61x version.

    As Quek mentioned, type “spectre –W” to get the exact version of Spectre that you are using. If you don’t have MMSIM installed and don’t have it in your path, then you would get “command not found”.

    Regards,

    Ramkumar
