psf utility question

candygg

              I use command "psf -fmt %.10g" to convert psfbin data to ascii format for high precision. While this works perfectly for tran.tran, I find it doesn't work for ac.ac.

              After converting ac.ac file to the readable format, for simplest case, you will see two signals: one is frequency, the other is the output signal in complex form: (real-part    imag-part). This complex data is always in 6-digit precision, while frequency data is 10-digit as what I've set. I wonder is this a bug or do I set anything wrong? Thanks for your help!

    Hello,

    Is there the service request filed?

    I observed the same when doing output psfascii directly from Spectre.

    Having rawfmt=psfascii and precision="%24.17g" in simulator options, provides 6 digits only for AC analysis results.

    It works OK for tran and DC.

    Regards,

    - Victor
