ADE simulation files -- error

Thodoros
Thodoros over 14 years ago

 Hello,

I am trying to assign a simulation file to a ADE run (ADE ->setup -> simulation files) which contains the simple that follows:

simulator lang=spectre
_vAddr\<3\> (Addr\<3\> 0) vsource val0=0 val1=0 period=500p width=250p type=pulse

 I have ic6.1.4 and when I execute "Netlist and Run" I get the following error:

 Error found by spectre during circuit read-in.
     ERROR (SFE-874): "/home/simop/simulation/sram_PCCA/spectre/schematic/netlist/stimuli/stem" 2: Unexpected operator "<".

What really happens is that at the ~/ ... /simulation/<design>/schematic/netlist/stimuli/ directory the copied stimuli file has errased the "\" character.

I really have to add that character and perform ADE ->Simulation ->Run in order to continue with the simulation.

Can I ovefrcome this?

Thanks,

Thodoros

     OK I found a walk aroud.

     

    Instead of writing the stimuli

    simulator lang=spectre
    _vAddr\<3\> (Addr\<3\> 0) vsource val0=0 val1=0 period=500p width=250p type=pulse

     

    I add an extra "\" and the stimuli

    simulator lang=spectre
    _vAddr\\<3\\> (Addr\\<3\\> 0) vsource val0=0 val1=0 period=500p width=250p type=pulse

     is OK

    Is this the proper way of writing stimuli files?

    Thanks,

    Thodoros
