Failed to get MPS handle

Nabavi
Nabavi over 15 years ago

 HI,

my cadnce was working properly before I started to run 130nm. My mistake was  runnng cadnece using the command 'startCds -t cmosp13'  in my home directory, so it made a lot of craches in my account. The last error I got was 'failed to get MPS handle' which was solved when I changed the wavscan to AWD. But the point is that, I can not make table using AWD which was a very powerful option in Wavescan. 

I was wondering if any body knows how to fix this error or how to get a table from AWD? 

Any help will be appreciated. 

Thanks ,

M.N

    Hi M.N.

    Do you get the same error when using standalone wavescan?

    terminal>wavescan &

    If you are currently not using the latest version of IC5141, it might be good to retry the problem using the latest version (IC5141.500.6.142). This could be a java related error which might have been already fixed in the latest version. You can check the version using:

    terminal>icfb -W

    You can also get a table from AWD as follows:
    a. Open up AWD calculator from "Tools->Calculator"
    b. Press "vt" button and select your net in the schematic
    c. Press "printvs" button and enter the required range of data
    d. The table will be displayed
    e. Go to "Window->Print" to output the results to a file

    Best regards
