How to use ADE assembler to annotate DC voltages

Pecman

I have no problem when using ADE-L and ADE-XL to annotate DC voltage/operating point by going into results -> Annotate -> DC node voltages. 

But in ADE Assembler, in results -> annotate, both DC voltage and DC operating point are grey. Can someone tell me how to do annotate these with ADE Assembler?

Thanks a lot!

    Dear Pecman,

    I think the issue you are experiencing might be due to the fact that you have run multiple corners in Assembler. Hence, the reason the Assembler menu items "DC voltage and DC operating point" are greyed out is that there may be multiple DC voltages and DC operating points and it cannot annotate multiple values on the schematic.

    If you right click on any of the individual waveforms for any of your corners on the Results tab, you will find a item "Open Debug Environment" (see attached). Click on that option and it will bring up an Assembler ADE-L like design environment for that corner (only). The variable values shown in its Variables panel will correspond to the corner values that you selected. From that GUI, you can directly choose to annotate your schematic (see second attachment). In the example I show, I ran a set of transient analyses - so only those results are available. If I ran a set of DC analyses, DC results will be accessible.

    I hope this works for you and accomplishes what you want!
