How to save wave as text information rather than wave plot

NorNand

Hello,

I am intersecting two signals by using Intersect function from ADE calculator and reading the intersection point as text (x,y) then I push it to my ADE to be saved for the next run. However, when I repeat the simulation this intersection point will appear as a point in the resulting graph.

How can tell the ADE to present it as data text?

I  am using ADE L,   Spectre Simulator version 11.1.0.509      2012  using 

Thank you

    The  intersects  function returns all the crossing points. If you want to have an ADE output which is just the first (say), then you could define three expressions:

    Name Expression
    allIntersects intersect(VT("/vin") VT("/out"))
    firstX firstVal(allIntersects)
    firstY value(allIntersects firstVal(allIntersects))

    Of course, the first is whatever you want. If you select the first not to plot, but the second two to plot, then it will show the numbers in the ADE L outputs pane.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
