ADE-L: How to specify "options statements" for Spectre?

dontpanic

Hello! Trying to debug DC convergence issues I came across the "Spectre and APS Non-Convergence Debug Guide", where most solutions involve using "options statements". How and where in ADE-L do I specify these options statements for the simulator to catch them? I tried many options without success:

-Make an .scs file and include it with the simulation libraries
-Make an .scs file and include it in the "paramSet" directive
-Use the "user command-line options" field in the Setup->Environment menu
-Use the "Additional arguments" field in the Simulation->Options->Analog menu
-Use the "additionalParams" field in the tran analysis "Misc" tab

(...side question: is there any document where the differences between all these places for specifying options are explained?!)

Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers,
Jorge.


P.S. I'm referring to this document: AppNote_nonConvergence_v2.pdf

    Thanks so much for your replies, Quek and Andrew; after the clarifications I was able to make it work! I'm using method 1, as I find it more convenient.
