How to display dc simulation result of bus as decimal number

Hi.
I run dc simulation and one of my results is bus 8 bits and I didn't find how to convert it to number in result tab.
I tried analog2Digital and numConv but it doesn't work.

Thanks.

    Have you tried, in ViVA, Measurement -> Analog to Digital -> select your signals and choose the root ?
    The result will be a waveform. I used value function from calculator to show the result at result tab.
    It worked for me.

    Yes, I tried it.
    ERROR (VIVA-6510):Analog to Digital conversion failed for input waveform - leafValue( VDC("/tr<7:0>") "bit" "/tr<0>" ). Check Input arguments.

    Using GUI at ViVA, i.e., without calculator, it works at my setup.

    Apologize, I was not aware you are asking about DC simulation. I have not tried that so I do not know if the same method works. The one that I mentioned is for transient simulation.

    Dear IKIF,

    Since a transient simulation performs an initial DC analysis (unless you specifically opt to skip the DC operating point computation), have you considered in lieu of performing a set of DC simulations, perform a set of transient simulations where the simulation stop time is set to a very small time value (i.e., a time that requires a very short simulation, ~ 1 ps for example). In this fashion, you will create a transient database where the method delgsy proposed should work. to provide the bus conversion.
