APS:Monte Carlo:Output waveforms in a single file

Ionutz

  Hi,

 I am running Monte Carlo sims with aps from command line  using spice netlist.

For each of the monte carlo runs, the tool dumps a separate waveform file. Is there any option to have all the monte carlo waveforms built into a single output waveform?

 

 Thank U,

Ionut

  • Hi Ionut,

    I just tried using this, and it already saves the family data. I used the statements you provided above, and I get this:

    UNIX> ls monteres.raw
    logFile      sweep1-001_timeSweep.tran  sweep1-003_timeSweep.tran  sweep1-005_timeSweep.tran
    logFile.tmp  sweep1-002_timeSweep.tran  sweep1-004_timeSweep.tran  sweep1_timeSweep.montecarlo

    The last file is the root of the tree to give a family of the individual iteration results. If I open this result directory in ViVA, I see the picture in the attachment below. As you can see, I see "tran" as the results, and the set of waveforms gets opened together.

    What tool are you using to look at the waveforms? 

    The alternative would be to use spectre syntax for the monte carlo, but that seems unnecessary here since it works fine:

    simulator lang=spectre
    parameters  xnlx_tran_stop=100n
    monte montecarlo numruns=5 savefamilyplots=yes {
      tran tran stop=xnlx_tran_stop
    }

    there's no real need to set step= on the transient (you could if you really wanted to).

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
