ocnPrint to File

tsnv

Using `ocnPrint` to write a waveform to a file, I am unable to locate the file it writes to if it even writes to the file. I have tried relative and absolute paths and searched through the simulation results directory, `getSkillPath()`directories, as well as the project location. Oddly enough the output that should be printed to the file is printed in the CIW. The OCEAN commands are called through Python-Skill Bridge, which simply allows to use OCEAN commands in Python for further processing.

How can I use the `ocnPrint`-function to write the waveform to a findable file?

# copied from File > Create Script... in maestro
ws['ocnSetXLMode']("explorer") # set mode to OCEANXL
ws['ocnxlProjectDir']("~/simulations") # location of simulation results
ws['ocnxlTargetCellView']("Library", "cell", "view") # substituted values by general names
ws['ocnxlResultsLocation']("") # same as project dir
ws['ocnxlSimResultsLocation']("") # same as project dir
ws['ocnxlMaxJobFail'](20)
# own addition
ws['openResults'](path_data)
ws['selectResult'](Symbol("tran"))
data = ws['getData']("/net1")
res = ws['ocnPrint']("?output", "./myOutputFile", data) # copied from OCEAN reference guide

  • Given that this "Python-Skill Bridge" is not a Cadence feature, perhaps you should ask the authors of it? I'm unfamiliar with it (you could provide a link for anyone else who has time to explore it, although adding the URL will put the post into moderation as potential spam - if you do that and then appeal it, I'll allow the post).

    The arguments for ocnPrint look reasonable, assuming this bridge interface passes them through correctly.

    My apologies for the premature forum post. The script does work when implemented in a normal SKILL script; should have started with this. The issue was with how the path is passed in the function call. It should have been: ws['ocnPrint'](data, output='~/myOutputFile")

    Link to the Python library for those interested: Python-Skill Bridge
