Significant digits in tables generated by ADE L calculator

Aldo,

Yes. 

envSetVal("viva.table" "significantDigits" 'string "12")

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

Is there a way to change the number of significant digits for the expression results in the outputs section of ADE L? Changing the digits for the table doesn't seem to have any effect here.

Thanks

As you may know, ADE-L is no longer supported. Hence, it might be worth considering to ADE Explorer/Assembler. Explorer is the "ADE-L" replacement and has a lot more features.

In any case, in response to your question, have you seen this article?

Hi Shawn,

The commands in the link work, thanks a lot.

On a similar token, where can I find the math functions allowed to be used in composing design variables in ADE L? I know simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division work fine, but what about something more complicated than that? For example, can I use the same math functions and syntax as the functions in the calculator?

Great!

Are you actually referring to design variables or expression based outputs? In the case of expression based outputs, the functions defined in the calculator will work in output expressions. I do not know of a specific list of functions that are defined for use in ADE-L design variables. ADE Explorer and Assembler do provide design variable functions that, for example even allow one to pass the results from one simulation result as a design variable to a subsequent simulation.

Hi Shawn,

I was referring to the design variables. I need to create a variable that's a log2 of another variable.

Thanks

Hi Svilen,

If it's ADE L, then you are limited to expressions which can be passed to the simulator and handle there - so if using spectre, it's the functions listed in "spectre -h expressions" (type in a UNIX terminal). If using ADE Explorer/Assembler, you can also use SKILL functions.

In either case there's no log2 in SKILL or Spectre, so you could just use log(N)/log(2) to get log2(N).
