Cannot plot Phase Noise following PSS (Harmonic Balance) + Pnoise

Hi,

DFii version: IC6.1.7-64b.78

virtuoso -W: sub-version  IC6.1.7-64b.78

spectre -W: sub-version  14.1.0.627.isr8

I cannot seem to plot Phase Noise from the Main Form if I run PSS Harmonic Balance + Pnoise

It works fine if I use PSS Shooting + Pnoise, and using the timeaverage analysis for Noise Type in pnoise analysis,

but when I use PSS Harmonic Balance the noise type switches to 'sources' in pnoise analysis and the option isn't there to plot Phase Noise in the Main Form. Below is the form following PSS Harmonic Balance + Pnoise:

Thanks,

Niall.
