Processing raw Spectre Monte Carlo data ?

Mark,

Yes. You'll need to create a session and then associate it with the lib-cell-view of the original ADE XL view (i.e.whichever the results are associated with):

sess=axlCreateSession(getCurrentTime()) ; the argument is to generate a unique string
sdb=axlSetMainSetupDBLCV(sess "Two_Stage_Opamp" "DiffOpAmp" "adexl")
rdb=axlReadHistoryResDB("Interactive.2" ?session sess)

pick the lib/cell/view you need, and the history name you got originally - and then from then onwards rdb will behave just as it did in my example above.

You can use axlCloseSession(sess) to close it out once you're done.

Regards,

Andrew.

Andrew,

here is my code:

; load("./test_testmodes_post_process.ocn")
sess=axlCreateSession(getCurrentTime()) ; the argument is to generate a unique string
sdb=axlSetMainSetupDBLCV(sess "_PRODUCT" "testmode_block_cn_Sim2" "adexl_extracted")
rdb=axlReadHistoryResDB("Ocean.0" ?session sess)
axlCloseSession(sess)

here is part of the log file, with the error message highlighted:

I tried googling, and looking at things in the skill and ocean refs but could not figure out the issue. I am assuming that argument #1 = sess

thanks!

Mark,

This indicates that the cellView you specified does not exist. Not a very friendly message - it's coming from a lower level function.

Note, I probably wouldn't close the session until after you've done the processing, although it probably doesn't matter.

You can also use axlReadResDB() where you can just give it a path to the "rdb" file if you know where it is...

Regards,

Andrew.
