Howto integrate OCEAN measurement into ADE XL Monte Carlo analysis

marten

Hi there,

how can a simple OCEAN script be used to calculate results in ADE XL? I tried to use the following ocean script to calculate Noise Margins of every MC iteration:

selectResults('dc)
axlAddOutputs(list("NM_h" "NM_l"))
;Calculate derivative of transferfunction, determine v_in so that derivative crosses -1
V_il=cross(deriv(VDC("/out") -1 1 'falling ))
V_ih=cross(deriv(VDC("/out") -1 1 'rising ))
;Get the output voltage with respect to the calculated V_il, V_ih
V_oh=value(VDC("/out"), V_il)
V_ol=value(VDC("/out"), V_ih)
;Calculate noise margins
NM_h=V_il-V_ol
NM_l=V_oh-V_ih
;Return noise margins
axlOutputResult(NM_h "NM_h")
axlOutputResult(NM_l "NM_l")

Unfortunatly, in the results tab instead of the calculated values of NM_h and NM_l "error" is stated in the column. But debugging (ADE L) shows, that the outputs have been calculated correctly.
So question is wow can ADE XL be convinced to print out the outputs?

Maybe someone can give me a kick in the right direction.

Cheers,

Marten
