Merging Traces into One Family

svnoosha

When running parametric analysis, the output waveforms are plotted as a family of curves. It is then possible to send the entire family of curves to the calculator and perform the same operation on all of them. If I have a set of traces that are not part of one family, is there a way I can send them all to the calculator at once instead of having to perform operations on each one individually?

Thanks,

Samir

    Hi Samir,

    The code in this article on support.cadence.com does what you want. Unfortunately the UI part doesn't work properly currently - you're supposed to be able to specify the number of waveforms on the stack to use. That's been broken for a while (I have a CCR for this), but to be honest I'd sooner this moved to the newer calculator template capability that was introduced in the IC617 release. That doesn't yet support a variable number of waveforms (I have a request for that too), so for now you'd have to type in the expression:

    abGroup(VT("/OUTM") VT("/OUTP") VT("/INM") VT("/INP"))

    which will convert the four (or however many) waveforms into a family (or fix the expression after using the abGroup function in the calculator panel having registered it).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
