Specifying Operating Region Expressions Using the Operating Region Assistant Pane in ADEXL

NorNand

Hello, 

I am using Cadence Virtuoso version IC6.1.6

I am facing little problem when I try to operating region specification to my output setup in ADEXL,

when click to add the operating point  spec for my test, I will be transferred to the next window where "Operating Region Assistant Pane".  it is supposed from this pane that I can click on the instance to "show Parameter" as proposed in the help documentation. However, for my case this tab will not appear after selecting the instance, beside that, the "Sub" tab is not recognizing the circuit as you can see from the image. I am saving the DC operating point in the DC analyses before going in this procedure.

I am performing it alternatively by using the "Show All" then using the "Advanced" option, but I would prefer to use the former method as it more friendly to select the instance by clicking on it.

My second relevant question, I want to save the region of the transistor as an operating point, and I want to check for region 2, however, there is no option in the expression that I can use for "equal" nor a "Range" to put it in between, 

this problem can be extended to other parameters, like if I want to check if the current is between 50 uA and 70 uA, ?

The last but not the least, when the operating point are added in to the output setup, there is a specification fixed to < 1, what this mean ?

I do appreciate your help in this manner

Best Regards
