ocnPrint() command is NOT working in OCEAN ( opened in Linux Terminal)

RFStuff over 11 years ago

Dear All,

I tried to plot and print my psf data into files.

I opened OCEAN (I am using IC5141) in linux terminal.

It successfully plotted the node voltages and currents by running plot command from a OCEAN script.

But when it encounters the ocnPrint() comnad in the ocean file:- ocnPrint( ?output "/home/xxx/CLUSTERS_RUN/TB_TEST_24Jul14/PLOT_DATA/V-Q_OUT_MINUS.vcsv" ?numberNotation 'scientific v("Q_OUT_MINUS"))

It says something as below:-

*Info*    data exceeds 10000 points, print out can be very slow. You
          can abort this command and print to a file use the
          following command:
      ocnPrint( v "Q_OUT_MINUS" ?resultsDir
          "/home/manas/CLUSTERS_RUN/TB_TEST_24Jul14/psf"
          ?result "tran-tran" ?output "./myOutFile" ?numberNotation
          'none)

Then OCEAN goes into hang mode and it neither quits nor it starts printing data into the given file.

When I press Ctrl-C, it exits.

Could anybody please tell how I can print those data into the file using ocnPrint() command ?

Did you try doing what it suggested? The key part is using ?numberNotation 'none ... if you do that, it will be much faster.

Dear Andrew,
I tried that it prints into the file but the Y values are upto maximum 6 decimal points.
But after plotting in wavescan and then saving the plotted wave in the .vcsv file it prints Y values till 16 decimal point.
Can't ocnPrint()0 do the same with the same way ?

Sure. Use ?precision:
ocnPrint( ?output "/home/xxx/CLUSTERS_RUN/TB_TEST_24Jul14/PLOT_DATA/V-Q_OUT_MINUS.vcsv" ?numberNotation 'none ?precision 15 v("Q_OUT_MINUS"))
Note that it doesn't make much sense to go beyond 15 digits of precision as double precision floating point numbers only have 15.6 decimal digits of precision, approximately (i.e. 52*log10(2) as you have a 52 bit mantissa). In addition the simulator won't be anywhere near that accurate!
Regards,
Andrew.
