How to group design variables and switch between them for different tests in ADEXL

Hi,

I am trying to run different simulations(tests) for the same schematic in same ADEXL view. In other words, I have a single schematic and ADEXL view. In ADEXL view, I have couple simulations tests.

What I need to do is to have different controls(design variables) for the different simulations in the same ADEXL. With local variables, I can assign individual variables for each tests but what I need to do is to have a group of design variables changing for each tests. Grouping design variables is not working for local variables.

One way can be to include a file which has sets of design variables for each tests. The selection can be done with another design variable but I am not sure how to tell ADEXL to run parameter sweep based the info from that file since grouped variables are more than one sweep.

Thanks

yayla

    Yayla,

    You should move to ADE Assembler (use Right Mouse->Open With over the view in the library manager, and pick Assembler; this will create a maestro view). Having done that you can sweep the test variables independently, and also group them as a parameter set (I assume that's what you mean by "grouped variables"?)

    Andrew.
