Saving output bus in ADE Explorer

Senan

Hello, 

I am using Cadence Virtuoso version 6.1.8-64 bit

I have small issue when I save output bus in ADE Explorer, that is:

I have 8 binary outputs, I send them after simulation to the Measurement > Analog to Digital Converter, then I choose to have them in Unsigned Decimal. The function works perfectly and I enjoy reading a number of outputs in one bus expression.

However, when I send the bus expression back to the ADE Explorer and save it, when I repeat the simulation the bus output are coming individually and kill the concept.

How can I fix it to have always data in one bus reading

Thank you in advance for your help

Regards

  • There's an existing change request for this, CCR 1732123, which unfortunately has not been fixed yet. The issue is that the "send to ADE" of the expression shows the wrong expression. It's something like this:

    awvCreateBus("outbus" list(awvAnalog2Digital(VT("/data<7:0>") nil nil 0.4 nil "centre") awvAnalog2Digital(VT("/data<7:0>") nil nil 0.4 nil "centre") awvAnalog2Digital(VT("/data<7:0>") nil nil 0.4 nil "centre") awvAnalog2Digital(VT("/data<7:0>") nil nil 0.4 nil "centre") awvAnalog2Digital(VT("/data<7:0>") nil nil 0.4 nil "centre") awvAnalog2Digital(VT("/data<7:0>") nil nil 0.4 nil "centre") awvAnalog2Digital(VT("/data<7:0>") nil nil 0.4 nil "centre") awvAnalog2Digital(VT("/data<7:0>") nil nil 0.4 nil "centre")) "Unsigned Decimal")

    (notice the full bus in each bit) whereas it should be:

    awvCreateBus("outbus" list(awvAnalog2Digital(VT("/data<7>") nil nil 0.4 nil "centre") awvAnalog2Digital(VT("/data<6>") nil nil 0.4 nil "centre") awvAnalog2Digital(VT("/data<5>") nil nil 0.4 nil "centre") awvAnalog2Digital(VT("/data<4>") nil nil 0.4 nil "centre") awvAnalog2Digital(VT("/data<3>") nil nil 0.4 nil "centre") awvAnalog2Digital(VT("/data<2>") nil nil 0.4 nil "centre") awvAnalog2Digital(VT("/data<1>") nil nil 0.4 nil "centre") awvAnalog2Digital(VT("/data<0>") nil nil 0.4 nil "centre")) "Unsigned Decimal")

    Note that the individual bits are in each awvAnalog2Digital instead. Of course, your order may be the opposite.

    All you need to do is manually edit the expression after sending back to ADE, and then it should work fine.
