How to get a plot with two ADE XL outputs?

daxigua179

I run a ADE simulation with like 100 design points and get two outputs say A and B. If I want to plot something like A vs B, how should I operate?

Thanks!

    So are each of A and B measurements that result in a  scalar value - so you've then got the results of that scalar value versus the swept variable?

    If so, plot them both and then in ViVA use right mouse button over the x-axis and pick YvsY and then choose which you want to be the x-axis. It will then generate a new graph with that as the x-axis.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

         Followup question on this. If I have A and B are a set of scalar values pertaining to different corners say (A1,A2,A3) (B1,B2,B3). How do I generate a YvsY plot of (A1 vs B1), (A2 vs B2), (A3, vs B3) in a single step?

    I'm only able to do this a pair at a time and then drag the individual results into another graph., Over multiple corners it becomes tedious fast.

    Use the waveVsWave function in the calculator. For example:

    waveVsWave(?x B ?y A)

    where B and A are the expressions or output for B and A respectively.

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    My ADE assembler version is ICADVM18.1-64b.500.8.

    I have a similar situation as spaul2's. A and B are two sets of scalar values for parametric sweep, I also ran this parametric sweep in three different corners. So there are results (A1,A2,A3) (B1,B2,B3). I also want to plot (A1 vs B1), (A2 vs B2) and (A3 vs B3).

    Following your answer above, I put the expression "waveVsWave(?x B ?y A) in the output setup in ADE assembler.

    Without changing eval Type from points to sweeps, there is "eval error".

    With changing eval Type from points to sweeps, I got the plot of A vs B. But there are two things

    1. When I plot the result under one corner, it returns plots for all three corner in a same window.

    2. Even for every single corner, the plot is a trace group, in which each trace is a scalar value. There is no interpolated points in between two scalar values. But with the approach of "YvsY" in ViVA, it returns a trace, on which I can mark any points.

    Is my output setup correct? Should I change eval Type from points to sweeps? Can I get a curve with interpolated points with function "waveVsWave"?

    Thanks and regards,

    Yutao
