PSF Family vs Leaf waveforms

analogy
analogy over 9 years ago
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 ?

    Speaking of PSF :

    Andrew,

    Let's say after ADE-XL simulation run Interactive.0 you want to send simulation data for someone else to read on a different host.Can you simply send the folder Interactive.0 in the directory simulation/...../adexl/results/data/ and use ViVA (Open Results) on a different host to  read psf inside Interative.0 folder ?

    I tried this and nothing happened.

    P.S. I am aware of ocnPrint() but I was wondering if psf data from ADE-XL run directory can be read standalone on ViVA.
