save DC operating points in ADEXL

Hi,

I wonder how I can save the DC operating points in the output window and have the valued displayed after I run simulations for different corners.

When I use ADE, after the DC sim, I can choose "Annotate - DC operating points", then the net voltage will be displayed in the schematic. Is there a way I can put a certain net voltage into the output window so that the results will be displayed automatically after the simulation is done?

I need to check some voltage and current over different corners, so I'll need to add them into the outputs.

I tried to put OP("/xxx" "i") in the output, but it does not do anything.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much!

    The OP function is to retrieve device operating point data. You'd need the VDC() function to retrieve the voltage on a net from a DC operating point.

    Regards,

    Thanks Andrew! This works well.

    For those who don't know. In the calculator, there are lots of buttons (shown below) to create such functions. click the button and then choose the signal or component, the expression will appear in the editor part.
