Ocean script for post processing on run with sweeps/corners has to wait until it is totally complete

Dear david73,

Is there a way that each simulation in a run should run the script on its own, so I can see results quicker, and i don't have to do all the calculations at once, which can take a couple of minutes?

Have you tried to include it as an output in Assembler or Explorer? In this fashion , it will be executed for each corner as it completes. Figure 1 shows how to include an ocean script as an output.

That is exactly what I did, to include it as an output, but it does not exhibit the behavior you describe. it waits for the whole run to complete

I just did an experiment with a smaller circuit and ran it over corners with a simulation stop time that is dependent on a variable in the set of corner simulations. I used an ocean script that computes the time of the simulation and reports it as an output for each corner. I found that the ocean script is evaluated after each individual corner is completed. Figure 1 shows the outputs tab of the Assembler session showing the ocean script result for completed corners while additional corners are still in their simulation phase.

Are you using Assembler?

I am running in ADE assembler and here is what I see.

Only at the end can i refresh and get the calculations

This is also true with outputs defined as expressions

That shouldn't happen, although perhaps you're using the "manual refresh" mode which was briefly introduced in an earlier IC618 ISR to aid with performance on big data sets, but was later removed for the detailed/detailed transpose view as the new implementation of the results view was much faster. It's possible it may be added back again as one customer in particular has demanded it.

So by "I refresh" what do you mean?

Which IC subversion are you using? (what does Help->About show - please report all the digits).

What does this return if you enter it in the CIW:

envGetVal("maestro.gui" "manualResultsViewRefresh")
