design variable & screen scrolling issues

ariel3

Hi,

I use OCEAN for post-processing, and recently it cannot see the design variable, even though it's there when you view the netlist.

I've also opened the result browser, and I cannot find it under variables, while all other variables are there.

This specific design variable contains string, if it's any help

The 2nd issue is that once in a while an ADEXL view is jammed, so that mouse scrolling isn't working properly.

Thanks a lot,

Ariel

    Ariel,

    Look in the designParamVals database (make sure that on Outputs->Save All you've remembered to save it). This contains the parameters dumped out by spectre; the "variables" database is an old hangover from ADE and ADE creates that database. Not sure why string parameters are not saved, but generally speaking you are better off getting the data written by spectre. The VAR() function also uses this designParamVals database if available.

    I suspect that the "ADEXL view is jammed" problem (whatever that means) is probably just that Virtuoso is busy (it's single threaded) and so the UI is not responsive during that time. You might want to contact customer support about this - and also make sure you're using a recent version (e.g. a recent hotfix of IC617) because there are continual performance improvements over time to help minimise the time spent where the UI isn't responsive.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
