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 ?

  • Ideally the data would be accessible over the network, but even if not, you should be able to just point ViVA at the results/data/Interactive.N/psf/testName/psf dir and it should work. I can only imagine that if it doesn't work, it's some permission problem - because it really should (it's no different to using the results browser in ADE XL). I just did this myself (although I was sure it would work).

    BTW, no need to export to CSV to read into Matlab; you can use the spectre toolbox for Matlab (if running on Linux) and directly read the PSF data into Matlab.
