Creating a string expression in ADEL (or explorer) output section

Svilen64

Hi,

It is probably a simple solution to what I have in mind here, but somehow I can't figure out how to do it.

Say, I have a bunch of expressions defined in ADEL and the results of those are in the output section after simulation. What I wanted to do for better visualization/readability was to separate groups of those results with some text, perhaps ******** or something similar. I wanted to create a string expression like that, maybe fprintf but couldn't make it print the text string into the outputs of ADEL. Hopefully, someone can suggest the correct syntax.

Thanks

    As you probably know, ADE-L is no longer supported by Cadence. It has been replaced with the far more feature rich and capable ADE Explorer and its "parent" Assembler. The transition is quite easy and I would suggest you consider migrating to the newer tools. With Assembler and Explorer, you can filter the results of a simulation to provide "separate groups" if you choose the names of your outputs accordingly. An overview of sorting the outputs in Assembler is at :

    Virtuoso ADE Assembler User Guide -- Selecting Data to Save and Plot - Sorting the Outputs

    I am not aware of a means to include a string separator in Assembler, nor ADEL. Sorry!

    Thanks Shawn,

    Yes, I am aware that ADEL is no longer supported and do ise Assembler and Explorer..
    However, my query still stands. I don't really want  to filter results. I want them all to ne in the outputs section. Just have separators between them. It looks to me this is not an impossible thing to do.

    Hi Svilen,

    Create an output expression with a name such as "-----Frequency Outputs-----" with an expression which is just (say) "0". Each of your dividers will have to have different names - so perhaps put some meaningful name in the middle. You can then drag this to the right place in the outputs to order them as you wish. You probably don't want to have the "Plot" checkbox turned on (although if it's just outputting 0 it's not going to do much harm).
