spectreMDL montecarlo histogram

swdesigner
swdesigner over 14 years ago

When you run montecarlo through spectreMDL, it generates a file containing statistics for the outputs. But, I would also like to look at the histograms so I know the statistics are valid.

Any clues on how to accomplish this through ADE?

The output files are in  binary, so I can't cook up a script to generate a histogram myself..

Thanks

    Thanks, that does work.

    Even with AWD... though it's hard to guess the exact procesure to follow..

    download the skill attached to SR 11564594

    load it

    use the results browser to get the measurement capture expression it will include. (this is more intuitive with the wavescan results-browser)

    ?result yourMeasurementName_meas-meas_montecarlo where the _meas-meas_montecarlo is something you can't guess..

    Since this is a waveform, you can plot the histogram using

    plot( abHisto( getData("exportedName" ?resultsDir "/path/to" ?result "Measuremen Alias with _meas-meas_ appended") #bins) )
