Adding CPU time as a measurement in ADE Assembler

Hello All, 

is there a way to directly see the simulation CPU time (wall clock  time) as a measurement in the  ADE Assembler Results tab? or a way to add it in the Outputs Setup tab ?

As of now I have to open the log file for each iteration to note the time and the xrun log files are pretty big. 

I was hoping to have CPU time added to my tests without have to write a function.

I am using IC 6.1.8 and running transient simulations. 

thanks

    I've just checked running AMS, and it works fine. I even checked running with Monte Carlo, and also running with Explorer - the only issue I'm aware of is that running a single run in Explorer does not show the statistics (there's a CCR for this), but you said you're using Assembler.

    I've just realised why this is probably not working - in the article I linked it, it makes it clear at the beginning that you must have your job setup to use LSCS not ICRP (under Options->Job Setup). It is not supported with the older ICRP flow.

    Thanks for the checking Andrew, yes I am using Assembler and ICRP. I will try switching to LSCS 

    Will this feature also work with Job setup -> Distribution method -> Local mode ?

    regards
