Changing swept variables plotted

CSCNalu
CSCNalu over 5 years ago

I'm not entirely how to ask this question without sounding weird so here goes nothing (sorry!)

I have a simulation in ADE-XL that sweeps two variables; let's call them A and B.  I want to plot A as a function of time grouped in such a way that it's every variable of B (with the lines being A values at a fixed B and each line is a different color; color representing the different B values) but when I select all of the data points (each run produces 1 data point) and I select to plot them in the GUI, it plots B values swept for each constant A.  Is there a way within the GUI or some other way to swap these as a function of each other?

I suspect the way that it's defaulting this graphing is that if you order the runs by their run number, B is swept before A is swept (if it was a nested for loop, B would be within A).

I hope this made sense.  Realistically this is a small enough data set I can just export it and plot it with something else but there are more analysis I'd like to do after that frankly is just easier with the ADE calculator not to mention I really should learn how to use this tool.

Ideally I'd like to learn how to group these sweeps and extract only this data then run a monte carlo but that's for another day.

Thanks!

    Right-click the X-axis and choose "Swap Sweep Var" (see page 96 of https://support.cadence.com/apex/articleattachmentportal?id=a1O0V000009ET7lUAG).
