noise analysis during transient

nicola91it

Hi to everybody,

I am running a noise analysis at a certain instant of time during the transient analysis; I do this using actimes and acnames features in the tran analysis options. The result I am interested in it's a value that I derive from the noise analysis, so, just a value (not a waveform). I am running corner simulations, and here comes my problem: the result of each corner it's a graph with only one point, so a value, but obviously I can't automatically see min and max values in the results window, but instead I have to read all the plots manually.

Why do I obtain a graph instead of a value? (if I don't use actimes and acnames I simply obtain a value). Thank you for the help,

Nicola

    Nicola,

    The reason it's a graph is because there needs to be somewhere to record the time index, and secondly you could have multiple time points. In this case you don't, but in general there could be multiple.

    So either use the value() function at the time index, or use the ymax() function to find the maximum value across the single point waveform. Then you'll get a scalar value in the ADE outputs.

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Ah I see, probably because some use it to test AC parameters at different times during transient. Ok, I will simply do that then, thank you!
