Direct Plot then Transient Signal stop updating after some time

BaaB

I am running Transient Analysis and usually after running it for some time (not finished yet) I can plot some signals from Direct Plot --> Transient Signal. However, sometimes I get a problem, at some time it plots but stop update the signals after that. For example, if I run the analysis for 1 milisecond and at 250u seconds I can plot the signals. However, for some reason it doesn't update more even the analysis already runs up to 800u seconds.  I have to wait for the transient analysis to finish or stop it to see the signals. 
What's the problem with it? 
Is there some method to fix this?

    As always suggested in the forum guidelines, knowing the version and tools you are using helps understand this kind of problem. As it is, I have no idea what version you're using, and I'm not going to cover every possible explanation for this for software versions from the last 25 years!

    Please provide that and also what output format you have chosen on the bottom of the Save->Options form in ADE.

    I tagged the version but somehow it didn't show. It is IC6.16-64b.101.

    Not sure what format you are saying. I ticked save in output of ADE. Also the default is saving all node voltages. 
    It is always possible to plot the saved signals while simulations at the beginning but sometimes it stops updating. The simulation is already around one milisecond but the waveforms is still at around 125u second.

    It's the bit at the bottom of the Outputs->Save All form (sorry, I said the wrong menu).

    Well, given the fact that you are using an old and unsupported version (I don't know what version fo the simulator you're using too), I suggest you try just switching to "psf" in this case to see if that fixes it.
