pss/qpss in the same run (alter? in ADE L?)

Hi,

I simulate a mixer and I would like to obtain values for NF and IIP3 at the same time.

NF is obtained using pss+pnoise. For this analysis only one periodic signal must exist (the LO) and the port of the input signal must have zero frequency/power.

IIP3 is obtained using a swept qpss+qpac. Apart from the LO, the input port must contain a nonzero frequency signal.

The stupid way is to change the schematic for each analysis. To avoid that, I created a design variable tran_in_enable and set the frequency and amplitude of the input port to tran_in_enable*fin and tran_in_enable*Pin. In ADE L, I the set tran_in_enable to 0 and run pss/pnoise to get the NF and in the next step set it to 1 and enable qpss/qpac to get IIP3.

However, I want to obtain both values in one shot. Now I learned about the alter statement. If I manually change my input.scs the following way, everything works as expected:

simulator lang=spectre
global 0 vdd!
include "models.scs"
parameters  tran_in_enable=0
[...]
simulatorOptions options reltol=1e-3 vabstol=1e-6 iabstol=1e-12 temp=27 \

+     maxharms=[3  3]  errpreset=moderate  annotate=status

  qpac  qpac  start=1.09G  clockmaxharm=2  annotate=status
}
[...]

However, ADE L always overwrites the alter line.

What is the correct approach to run pss/qpss simultanuously in ADE L?

Thank you!
