Capturing all operating point info in a text file

swdesigner

Does anyone know how to do this? The only way I have for accessing device OP info is to print the operating point info device by device into the Results Display Window. I'd like to capture all the OP info for all devices into a text file because I need to compare operating points for two corners to find the device causing my circuit to fail.

Thanks

By the way, if anyone is interested in setting up a bindkay (say '1') to go into "print device OP info in Results Display Window" mode, here's how :

hiSetBindkey("Schematics" "<Key>1" "load\"/~/skill/op_info.il\")")

where that file contains :

sevPrintResults('sevSession1 'dcOpPoints)

If you want to setup <Key>2 to Update this Results Display Window so that you only see the last device you clicked on  

load this procedure into your session :

procedure( CCSkey()

   wins = hiGetWindowList()

   win = setof( y wins y~>hiForm && rexMatchp("awviPrintWindowForm" y~>hiForm))

   hiSetCurrentWindow(car(win))

)

Then, you setup the bindkey as :

 hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "<Key>2" "CCSkey() awviUpdateMenuCB()")

  • Look at the OCEAN report() function (either in the documentation, or by typing ocnHelp('report) in the CIW).

  •  Is there an example I can refer to? If I just do

     report()

    cadence first tells me I need to run openResults, then selectResults

    the doc says selectResults( dcOp) which is a typo, it needs to be selectResults( "dcOp") or I get  "*Error* eval: unbound variable - dcOp"

    Then, I get openResults() to go through fine, but, after selectresults( "dcOp"), I get 

    stdobj@0x12d0e27c

    If I then do

    report(), I get

    *Info* no design parameters available for data type 'V' and another similar line with 'I'.

    report(?output "file") also doesn't do anything for me.

    Any help would be great.

    Thanks

  • There's a typo in the documentation (in fact more than one). I'll file a CCR to get that fixed. The "dcOp" results give the node voltages and currents. What you need is the "dcOpInfo" results. So if you do:

    selectResult('dcOpInfo)
    report()

    And then you can experiment with other report() arguments as covered in the documentation. For example:

    report(?type "bjt" ?param "vce")
