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

    It's not that hard though if you use the OCEAN functions:

     ocean> openResults("dflip.raw")
    "dflip.raw"
    ocean> results()
    ("dcmeas_meas-meas_montecarlo" tran dcOp "tranmeas_meas-meas_montecarlo")
    ocean> selectResult("tranmeas_meas-meas_montecarlo")
    ocean> outputs()
    ("clk_data_delay" "outcross" "clk_q_delay" "maxq" "minq"
        "rise_out"
    )

    So you can see the available result names. Then you can do (since selectResult has been done):

    plot(abHisto(getData("rise_out") 10))
