How to disable automatic histogram plot after Monte Carlo simulation?

Soner

Hi,

Monte Carlo simulation in adexl generates histograms automatically upon termination. This autogeneration is not useful / takes a lot of time when there are many expressions and corners. Is there a way to disable this automatic plot?

Thanks.

    In IC614 there's a Setup Plotting Options icon (it's a little document with a pen as the icon, if my memory is correct).
     
    If you turn off the plotting of scalar expressions, it will not plot the histograms.
     
    Regards,

    Hi Andrew,

    I am using IC6.1.3.500.17 right now and I could not see such an icon. Could you please be more spefici? If I go to Outputs Setup pane and deselect Plot for expression, then these expressions are not evaluated at all.

    Thanks.

    Hi Soner,

    It's in IC614, not IC613. So that's why you can't see it. In IC613 all you can do is turn off auto-plotting altogether...

    Any chance you can change to a later version?

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,

    How can I turn off auto-plotting in IC613? I do not know when the version will change but probably not soon.

    Regards,

    Hi Soner,

    In the Outputs Setup tab, go over one of the signals or expressions, and do Right Mouse->Printing/Plotting Options. On this form, turn off "Auto Plot Outputs After Simulation". This has to be done once for each test (so it's a bit of a pain) - much easier in IC614.

    Apologies for not replying sooner - got swamped, and hadn't had a chance to try it out in IC613 to remind myself how it worked.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
