RE: modifying default trace properties for a dft in ade

jorankin

I am wondering how to change the default trace properties for a dft. Currently spectral traces show up for dft's in ViVA. I would like to change this in my .cdsenv file so that the default is lines. I tried to do this using the following command, but it didn't work:

wavescan.trace type string "line"

 I found the above command in the cadence documentation for ic 6.1.5. I don't see a similar command for viva...I tried replacing wavescan with viva in the above statement, but it didn't work.

Thanks,

John

  • John,

    That won't help you because there's a hint on the waveform object produced by dft which overrides any default (and anyway I think that's an obsolete setting for the old Java graph - there's a CCR to get these removed from the docs).

    You could use the code below (comments at the top give a clue how to use it). Effectively wrapping your expression with abSetPlotStyle(... "joined") should do the trick, and there's a function to add this to the calculator to make it easier to use.

abSetPlotStyle(waveform "joined")

Sets a waveform to be plotted as joined. Can also be set to "bar" or
"scatterPlot" or "auto".

abRegSetPlotStyleSpecialFunction()

registers a function in the calculator to alter the plot style on a 
waveform.
