Using the transient simulation 'it' command will result in additional outputs

SMaxwell

After using the transient simulation "it" command to select the current of a certain device, I renamed the name to what I wanted, but after clicking run, the original value of the simulated node current will be added to the ADE outputs. For example, I named the value of Expression "IT ("/M10/S ")→ "I1", but after running the simulation, the outputs will show M10/S. Is there any way to prevent "M10/S" from appearing? Because I still have a lot of signals, every time I add these outputs that I don't want to see, I have an impulse to delete them. See image below


I tried searching in the community to see if anyone had the same confusion, but couldn't find it.
I have made some attempts , such as selecting output → save all → Select signals to output (save), and then trying to check none, selected, lvlpub, lvl, allpub, all. However, after running the simulation, redundant outputs still appear. May I ask if there are any solutions? Thank you！

    If this was urgent, then you should contact customer support. This is a community forum, and people (including those of us that work for Cadence) answer here in our spare time (such as me answering on a Sunday evening after a week on vacation).

    Anyway, ADE L (which is obsolete, by the way) will add the current to be saved if it's not saved anyway - you could turn on Outputs->Save All and save all device currents (assuming the devices are primitive devices) in which case this will then not get added automatically.

    If however you use ADE Explorer instead (which you should, since this is the replacement for ADE L which is critical bug-fix only status), then these implicit signals are not normally displayed (in Assembler you can interactively choose to see them, but in Explorer you have to set a cdsenv setting before entering Explorer: envSetVal("maestro.explorer" "displayImplicitSignals" 'boolean t) ).So the problem goes away simply by using Explorer.

    I appreciate your response.Actually, it's not urgent, but I'm curious.I have solved the problem by selecting "Outputs" in ADE L, "Save all", "Select device currents", and "all".I'm sorry to bother you during your free time, and thank you very much for your advice. In the future, I will continue to learn simulation using ADE Explorer.
    Regarding customer support, I am not sure if it is a hassle to go through this step.Our university has purchased licenses for Matlab, the IDE software developed by Jetbrain, and other common software, but it is possible that the Cadence software is not purchased by the entire university, but rather by laboratories related to electrical circuits that purchase some licenses. I will ask my teacher about the license situation later if I have the opportunity. If it is not a hassle, I will use customer support.My more convenient way to solve problems is to ask my classmates or engineers around me. If they cannot solve it, I will ask questions on some forums.I feel that there are not many relevant tutorial resources. Thank you again for taking the time to respond to my question!
