What is a good way to work, modify and get back / extend your ADE setup?

StephanWeber

Hi,

a very typical scenario is this:

You start with maestro and get an Assembler setup e.g. with 2 tests and a certain corner setup.

Then you focus on special topics and create e.g. further testbench variants, e.g. for aging, SOA checks, etc. And you extend your corners UI.

However, at some point you are asked to go back and check the initial tests again e.g. with small modifications (like for further corners or other param settings).

So the most native method is to use "reload to active setup' and apply your little modifications, and run it.

Howerver, this way you will loose the tests created after this like for aging or SOA checks! And you will also loose  the corner and any output extensions!

How, can I get a superset, i.e. keep all tests but just have them disabled when you do the 'reload to active setup'?

In corner UI we have the nice dialog on whether you want to override existing corners or not. Something similar seems to be missing for 'reload to active setup'.

I believe setup states may help, but working from the history is much more intuitive and the history assistant has no create setup state function.

  • Probably I'd start by saving the active setup to a setup state (just in case), and then go into Explorer and you can then import some or all parts of the test setup from the particular history you want.

    Or you can load setup to active, make the changes you want, and then save another setup state and then restore the earlier setup state. All rather depends on what you want.

    I'd suggest having a discussion with customer support to work through the options here.

    Thanks! By a creating setup state, thendoing reload and loading the setup state I could achieve what I want. Mode retain works for me, the other modes are quite confusing because either I lost my new test or I got a parallel copy of all tests with _1 appended.

    Bye Stephan
