Calculator -> Using 'value' in equation

syafiq

Hello,

I am having a problem to extract values from time domain simulation. I am using IC6.1.6

I have a time domain simulation from 0s to 32us (x-axis) and 0V to 3.3V (y-axis).

I want to extract value (voltages) start at 0.5us and periodically every 1us.

I put this equation-> value(v("out" ?result "tran") 0.5u  ?period 1u ?xName "time"  ), but when I try to evaluate the equation, it says expression failed.

But extracting only at 0.5u -> value(v("out" ?result "tran") 0.5u   ) ,it was successful. Unfortunately, I cant attached the psf file. it is too big even after compression.

Thanks

Syafiq

    Hello Andrew,

    Thanks for your prompt reply.

    I just noticed that CIW reported the error as shown below:

    expression evaluation failed: val is not legal.
    expression evaluation failed: value(v("out" ?result "mc1_tran-tran") 0.5u ?period 1u ?xName "time" )
    "(\"error\" 0 t nil (\"*Error* drfGetWaveformXVec (DRL-18): argument not a valid srr waveform interface object nil\"))"

    Attached is the psf for the output signal. Could you try?

    Thanks
