ViVa waveform tool

sohaiba

Hello,

 I am facing an issue during plotting the results in ADE-L simulation enviroment,the traces are always white in color. Even after installing the latest ISR12 hotfix for IC615 the issue remains the same. The most surprising part of this issue is that sometimes it automatically starts showing colours but that is very few times. I am pretty confused why is it happening? . I have faced this problem on both RHEL5 and RHEL6 32 bit platforms.

  • So this is the same issue as you reported in this thread.

    I suspect this might be because you may have a display.drf with the packets associated with layers y0-y9 drawing set to white. ADE uses these layer-purpose-pairs so that it can highlight the nets on the schematic the same colour as the trace is drawn with when probing the schematic. Other plots (e.g. originated from the calculator) don't need to have corresponding colours, so they'll use ViVA's built-in colours instead. Alternatively, you may be accessing a library over time which loads its own display.drf which is corrected?

    I suggest you try using Tools->Display Resource Manager, click the Edit button, and then pick All (rather than LSW) in the Layers box in the Display Resource Manager. Hunt for y0 drawing etc and see what they are set to.

    If that looks OK, please contact customer support because it's something else which will need more detailed investigation. If they are all white, you'll need to hunt down if you have a display.drf setting these colours somewhere.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
