Store simulator settings in ADE L

itos

Hi,


I use "ADE L" with AMS. Whenever I launch, I need to manually setup everything:

  1. Open the schematic from Library Manager
  2. Click Launch -> ADE L
  3. Change Setup -> Design -> View Name: config (from schematic)
  4. Change Setup -> Simulator/Directory/Host Simulator: ams (from spectre)
  5. Session -> Load State, select "Cell View", OK

Is there a way to expedite this?

In particular I wonder why steps 3 and 4 are not stored? (I always have to switch from spectre to ams manually).

Thanks

itos

  • This is because States can be reused with different designs and (to some extent) with different simulators. If you start ADE from the configured schematic or from the hierarchy editor it will set the design automatically. However if you open up the saved state from the library manager (or file open in the CIW) it will get the design and simulator set - so that's the best solution for you. Andrew
  • Thanks Andrew! Just double-clicking the saved view from the Library Manager seems to automatically set the simulator and the view name to "config". I hope everything else will work as expected too...
  • It also sets the lib and cell to whatever it was when you saved the state (usually the same name as the lib and cell for the state cellView but it doesn't have to be). This approach to using state cellViews has worked for probably 15 years now).
