save all device data in dc sweep

 Hi Josef,

 Here we go:

Create one additional file to include with your simulations and fill it with some lines like

save DUT.MP0:oppoint

save DUT.Q0:oppoint

and so on ... of course you have to adjust the hierarchy information andthe devicenames

If you enter "spectre -h save" you will get some extra info on whats possible with

wildcards, filtering options and so on. However this scheme does not work for every PDK.

I just had one case where the probing was broken :( I'm waiting for an updated PDK right now ...

Best Regards

Hi Andi,

 thanx a lot! It works.

There is one final thing: do you know a possibility to enter these additional lines directly into an OCEAN script without using the additional include file?

Hi Josef,

Sorry, I can't help you out at the OCEAN front as I don't use OCEAN that much.

I just know that you can include the additional file by adding

stimulusFile( ?xlate nil "path to new include file") to your existing ocean scripts

Maybe some other guys can help out here

Best Regards

Josef, 

Andi is right. You have to do this by including a file with spectre syntax (which could use wildcards), and doing that via a stimulusFile or even a modelFile call in OCEAN.

You could always wrap this up in a function which wrote it out to a temporary file, and then set the stimulusFile to it? Something like:

procedure(MySaveOppoint(device)
  let((tmpFile port)
    tmpFile=makeTempFileName("/tmp/saveOppoint")
    port=outfile(tmpFile)
    fprintf(port "save %s:oppoint\n" device)
    close(port)
    stimulusFile(?xlate nil tmpFile)
    tmpFile
  )
)

Then you could do:

file=MySaveOppoint("M1")
run()
deleteFile(file)

Note - none of the above has been tested - it's just an idea.

Regards,

Andrew.
