Using calcVal() function in ADE Explorer is possible?

Hi all.

I would like to know if calVal() function is supported in ADE Explorer and if yes, how it can be possible?

Due ADE Explorer has an unique test bench, I have doubt of it.

Thanks

    I think this would only make sense if you’re using it from the same test (or without the second argument).

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Hi Andrew.

    It is not possible to use calcVal() in ADE Explorer ( it's just possible to use in ADE Assembler). One better approach is use MDL Control File and passing the argument like

    alias measurement dc_trim {
        export int     trimed_word
        export real vref_initial
        run dc
        trimed_word=round(cross(sig=V(vout),thresh=0.5,n=1))
        vref_initial=V(vout)  @ 8
    }
    alias measurement dc_final{
        export real vref_final
        trim_word_par=dc_trim->trimed_word
        run dc (param=temp, start=-40, stop=125)
        vref_final = V(vout) @ 25
    }

    run dc_trim
    run dc_final

    Thanks!
