Calculator 'Sample' function for parametric sweep

Davidq

Hi, I have an expression setup in ADE-L using the sample function in the calculator. The expression calculates exactly what i want on a single run. However when I sweep a variable using parametric sweep the expression fails to evaluate on the multiple outputs. I get the following error: 

Ensure that the definition of the expression is correct.
*Error* ("greaterp" 0 t nil ("*Error* greaterp: can't handle (srrWave:0x29b32150 > 0)"))

Is it possible to use the sample function on a family of waves from a parametric sweep or is there any alternative option?

    Hi David,

    that was fixed in ISR2 of IC6.1.7. You can work around it using the "famMap" function.

    If you have access you can see the solution on support.cadence.com ( 20447910 )

    Here an example:
    before: lshift(sample(VT("/VOUT") Tstart (Tstart + (63 + Tclk)) "linear"Tclk) Tstart)
    using famMap: lshift(famMap('sample VT("/VOUT") Tstart (Tstart + (63 * Tclk)) "linear" Tclk) Tstart)

    Hope that helps,
    Marc

    Hi Marc,

    Sorry I had not seen that solution when i searched the forum.

    Everything works perfectly now. Thanks for your help.
