Post-processing non-PSF results formats through OCEAN

mnabil

Hi,

This seemed like a trivial question but I couldn't find an answer on the forum or online. In ADE you can simulate using spectre or HSPICE and you can still plot the results. I need to do the post-process the data through an OCEAN script. It is very easy to do so on results in PSF format by openResults("results_dir/psf") and then selectResult("analysis") of choice. Upon using HSPICE, the results are available in .tr0, .ac0 formats (even Spectre can output the results in these formats). I could not figure a way to process these formats and plot it on Virtuoso Waveform Graph XL.

Can you please let me know how to post-process these .tr0, .ac0 ...etc. formats using OCEAN? 

I'm using  HSPICE 2012.06-SP2 and IC6.1.5-64b.500.14 

 Thanks

  • Hi Andrew,

     It turned out that I don't need the conversion tool at all and that HSPICE can output the PSF format directory. I mistakenely had .OPTION POST =1  in my stimulus file which was changing the output format.

    Just setting .OPTION ARTIST=2 PSF=2 is suffiecient as we have both mentioned.

    Thanks,
