cds_srr in Windows (or similar)

itos

Hi,

What is the best way to get simulation data into MATLAB R2012 64 bit Windows?

I use Cadence on Linux and want to preprocess/check data on Windows.

So far I always manually export data traces via CSV, copy it and use csvread in MATLAB - very cumbersome and tiring.

Best would be if I could just use the SpectreRF toolbox on Windows (I would then use scripts to copy psf data accordingly).

Is this possible? If not, what's the next best option?

    Sorry, cds_srr does not exist on Windows - only Linux.

    The only option is probably to do something similar to what you've been doing. Or get access to Matlab on Linux!

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Oh this is really sad.

    I have access to Matlab on Linux but I'm using it on Windows (with Cadence via VNC) since I've so many packages and code on Windows which I don't want/can transfer to the isolated Linux box.

    Can you think about a good way of automating this at least a bit? Manually saving the traces is really inconvenient. Can I tell ADE L somehow to automatically export data to CSV after a simulation?

  • Andrew Beckett

    You might be able to use the code in either this post or this post. If you make one of your outputs in ADE L an expression which calls either abDumpWaveforms() or abDumpWaveformsToVCSV() and then something like:

    {abDumpWaveforms(...) 1.0}

    the curly brackets and 1.0 is to make the overall expression return 1.0 so that ADE L is happy with it as an output which returns a number, then it might work...

    It's not completely straightforward though - the flow is really intended that you run on the same platform.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
