Krishna,

Can you see the signal in the results browser?  Maybe you could post the bottom part of the input.scs with the analysis statements.

I assume you're doing a DC sweep?

There's also a typo in what you have posted, because it has embedded quotation marks. It should be:

        ocnxlOutputExpr( "getData("M1.m1:gm" ?result \"dc-dc\")" ?name "namegm" ?plot t ?save t)

or maybe better still:

        ocnxlOutputExpr( "getData("M1.m1:gm" ?result 'dc)" ?name "namegm" ?plot t ?save t)

Regards,

Andrew.

 Hai sir,

           Thanks for your reply. I tried to run the script with your suggestions. But still it is not working. Its a dc sweep.

           From the result browser signals can be plotted. I am attaching the script here.

Hi Krishna,

I still would use ?result 'dc rather than ?result "dc-dc". I'm assuming that you do actually have an include file with the save statement somewhere?

Can you show me a screenshot of the results browser showing where you can see the gm result?

Probably best if you go to customer support - it's pretty hard to debug this without seeing the data.

Kind Regards,

 Hi sir,

        Thanks for your reply. At present I was on leave, i will attach the screen shot, once i am back to work.

Thanks

krishna

That was a blank post; you need to use the Options tab when posting to attach a picture.

Andrew.
