ADE_XL active database for multiple sessions

Hi all,

i met some issue with ADEXL and hoping someone here can help.

say i open on ADE_XL session  (i.e. the ADEXL view) for sim1 first, and then i  open another ADEXL view for another simulation  sim2 bench.

when i want to go back to view the sim1 to view the simulation results and open the calculator by clicking the calculator button in sim1 ADEXL, the active (so called context by cadence) database is still point to the sim2. 

another problem is that when i run a single point run simulation,  when i click the "plot all" to plot the results, the active database is 

always pointing to the Interactive.<n>/1/<test_name>/psf/     even when i manually open the top psf and make it context database, if i rerun the

simulation, the leaf psf will be loaded automatically by results browser and become context database.  

any suggestion on this?

thanks

jason

    Hi Andrew, the version is the IC6.1.6-64b.500.13.2. in fact i am getting confused about the context database even in ADE_L. i tried following behavior: 1. run ADE_L for sim1, 2. run ADE_L for sim2. 3. open "direct plot" from results pull down menu from ADE_L window for sim1 and plot 1 signal from sim1. 4. open direct plot from results pull down menu from ADE_L window for sim2 and plot another signal from sim2. 5. go back to sim1 graph (VIVA) window with signal i just plotted, click "browser", "results", "open results", interestingly, the loaded database is sim2. also if i click "calculator" button from VIVA of my sim1 window, the calculator also point to sim2 database. so it seems that VIVA or calculator will not automatically associated with the database/ADE_L from which it is brought up.
