PSF Family vs Leaf waveforms

analogy
I have a parametric sweep with variable A = [a1 a2 a3 a4 a5] and after ADE-XL simulation, I can plot Vout as,
Vout
   ‘-Vout (A=a1)
   ‘-Vout (A=a2)
   ‘-Vout (A=a3)
   ‘-Vout (A=a4)
which is to say as family of waves (i.e. leaves).
But when I save these family of waves as PSF (using Export>PSF), and I load this PSF result in ViVA , I no longer have family of waves, I end up getting individual waves i.e. each leaf ungrouped and plotted separately :
Vout (A=a1)
Vout (A=a2)
Vout (A=a3)
Vout (A=a4)
This can be annoying if one is supposed to use calculator to perform additional processing post simulations.How do I group these individual waveforms (i.e. leaf) to a family of waves while exporting them as PSF ?

  • Let's say you want to share a single plot (expression output) to someone else.For this, first I will plot this expression , next I will export expression wave as a standalone psf data and finally I will reopen this exported psf data, edit window properties like axes range, legend and any other comments using graph labels and save this as Window.

    The other person can read this expression output using ViVA Waveform on his/her account by loading the Window (provided he/she has both - exported PSF data and Window .grf file).Sounds confusing , right ?

    Well, the reason for this long procedure is that when using parametric sweeps with more than one variable to be swept, exporting waves as .csv and reading them back in Matlab (even with toolbox) is a nightmare.
