Saving ADEXL Results automatically

Michele Ancis
Michele Ancis over 10 years ago

Hi all,

I often use ADE XL sweeps and corners not only when verifying but also when exploring designs.

Also, very often, I capture the features of interest in single-point measures, instead of curves. Of course, I have quite a few of them per simulation point.

I find sometimes easier to then export the "table" generated in the results pane of ADEXL and then slice and dice the results using other tools.

The "save as csv" is a wonderful button :-)

I was thinking what would be the flow if I wanted to make this operation automatic, i.e. after having run the sweeps/corners, save the results to file directly.

To this extent, of course, I would not need to have them in the results pane as well.

Probably:

1. create my sweeps and corners in ADEXL

2. create the output expressions in ADEXL (or ocn output script)

3. save the "ocean script" tied to this setup

4. modify it with some command to output the data to a file

If this is correct, what shall I use in 4? Are there other methods?

Thanks,

Michele

    Hi Michele,

    I'm not sure the postExportResults signal in ADE XL is what you want (note it's a signal, not a function). The idea is that you can register a trigger function on this signal which gets called when you export results. So actually the trigger would get called when you export results - it will not cause export results to be called when simulations are complete.

    Probably what you want is one of the runFinished signals (might be runFinished, runFinishedConclusion, runFinishedPostPlot, runFinishedPrePlot). This could then trigger a call to axlExportOutputView() to export the results.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
