Running more tests in an already finished interactive window

Using ADE XL.

First, as you probably are aware, ADE-XL is no longer a Cadence supported tool and I might suggest you considering migrating your test bench to Assembler/Explorer. The migration process was made very easy by Cadence as you can import the ADE-XL state file (from ADE-L) directly into Assembler to create its maestro state. The maestro state is shared by Assembler and Explorer and state files are no longer required. Both new products have many features that make them far more flexible and capable than ADE-Xl...so consider it if you wish.

But now I want to simulate it again *in the same interactive window" with a different value for the design variable. The reason I want it to be in the same interactive window is so that I can use expressions/plots with both the finished results and the new results. However as far as I know the moment I hit the run button it will open up a new interactive window and I won't be able to use expressions across the interactive windows. Is there a way to start simulation in the same interactive window? Alternatively, is there any expression for using results from different interactive windows?

With respect to your question, and perhaps I do not fully understand it, but it seems the best way to accomplish your end goal of using the expressions you hav defined in one test in a new test in order that you can directly compare their results, why not just make a copy of the test - not its "Interactive.X" data base - and re-simulate it with, perhaps, a new name for the test? You can make a copy of the test in Assembler, for example, by right clicking on the test name and then selecting the item ""  as shown in Figure 1.

I hope this helps answer your question if I understood it correctly fastandig!
