Output expressions containing variables and parameters not executed when using ADE XL

Chevelle70

Hi,

I am running transient simulations using APS in ADE XL environment across multiple corners.

I have set output expressions in ADE XL Test Editor in the forms shown below:

value(v("I124.I4.Mp60:vds" ?result "tran") Ts)

value(v("I124.I4.Mp57:vds" ?result "tran") (Ts + (0.8 * Tck)))

Where "Ts" value, corner dependent, and "Tck", corner independent, are both set as Design Variable in the Corners Setup window.

I am receiving eval err with the error messages such as the following:

*Error* ("eval" 0 t nil ("*Error* eval: unbound variable" Tck))

*Error* ("eval" 0 t nil ("*Error* eval: unbound variable" Ts))

Could you please help as how we can define variables and parameters in the output expressions, as shown above, when running simulations (single or multiple corners) in ADEXL?

Thank you,

-Alireza

    You should use VAR("Ts") and VAR("Tck") in your expressions rather than the variables directly.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
