Node name used in .measure statement

HI,

Consider the following meas statement.

.meas tran c2c_read_to_write_blrst_min min v(SEGARRAYX2.SEG0.BANK_MAX.HBANK.LBL.LBLX4_0.\xxl_blx4\/xblx10\/xp5\/mp0.g ) from=cycle1_start to=cycle1_end

.meas tran c2c_read_to_write_blrst_min min v(SEGARRAYX2.SEG0.BANK_MAX.HBANK.LBL.LBLX4_0.\BLRST ) from=cycle1_start to=cycle1_end

Now both the above statements specify the same node. 

By my knowledge the first one considers the parasitic upto the gate of the device. So thats the advantage over the 2nd statement. But the disadvantage is that 1st meas statement can not be used on pre layout netlist.

So is there any where we can write meas statements which work on postlayout as well as pre layout ?

Something like : SEGARRAYX2.SEG0.BANK_MAX.HBANK.LBL.LBLX4_0.\n_blrst_xxl_blx4\/xblx10\/xp5\/mp0.g

 

Thanks.

    Hello Andrew,

    Yes I am talking about spectre and the extraction was C only using starrc tool. Can you please put light on whats the advantage of giving node/signal name reaching till the terminal of the device(mp0.g) in terms of Conly extraction ?

    I can actually write the node as "BLRST" which can work for both pre and post layout netlist in case of Conly extraction.

    Thanks
