Hi everyone

when I set the strobe periode in TRAN analysis and get the output,in the output data table(.csv) the frequency (step)of some output points is chang.what is the problem?

thanks.

    Hi Medya,

    Since I didn't know how you were running the simulation, I was just guessing a little. You might be running from the command line, or might be running from ADE. In ADE you could add this using the "additional parameters" field on the tran options form. It's only available in recent versions of spectre.

    But that's probably not it, since you weren't aware of the option.

    Can you provide some more details? Eg the options and analysis statements from the end of the input.scs and also a snapshot of the exported data - with precise details of how you exported it.

    As I have mentioned before (once or twice...), please read the forum guidelines. These ask you not to post on the end of old threads.

    strobeperiod is on the Transient Options form. If this is related to your other post about making simulations faster, then this is not that likely to help (except in the rather rare case that your simulation is dominated by the time needed to write the data to disk; with strobeperiod set, the simulator still takes all the time steps it needs to take to ensure accuracy, but strobeperiod forces there to also be time steps on a regular basis and only outputs that data).
