Different number of ports in NPORT and S-parameter file

Hello,

is it possible to set as an ERROR (stopping the netlist) the WARNING we have when the number of ports in NPORT and in the S-parameter file are different?

WARNING (CMI-2131): 12 port data file `/home/.../touchstone_s12p/text.txt' used as 8 port.

Thank you

Best regards

Aldo

    Hi Aldo,

    You should be able to change the severity of warnings to errors...

    Here is an example: https://support.cadence.com/apex/ArticleAttachmentPortal?id=a1O0V000007MdAEUA0&pageName=ArticleContent

    It is a different warning but the procedure should be the same. Please try it out and let me know.

    BR

    Yup, it works as described in the article with:

    warning_change_severity=error warning_id=[CMI-2131]

    In ADE, you should add this in the Simulator Options form (Simulation - Options - Analog) under the Miscellaneous tab in the Additional Arguments field.
