How to create a plot from a list when running Ocean script from CIW

keble6

Hi, just starting out with Ocean. I am using it to characterise devices in a particular technology.

I have written Ocean scripts to measure various parameters over temperature and corners.

Now I'd like to plot, for example, the vth at 27C versus corner.

 

However I can't even get a window displayed with e.g. win = newWindow().

Is this because I'm running the script from the CIW?

    Hi Keble6,

    You should be able to run an Ocean script from the CIW and still be able to plot etc., unless you are running in -nograph mode (in which case the "CIW" would be the terminal where you started from, so this does not sound likely since you mentioned "CIW" explicitly).  Any error or warning messages ?

    Regards,
    Lawrence.

    Hi, thanks for the response.

    When I enter win=newWindow() in the CIW there is no response at all, and no message in the terminal from which I started virtuoso (IC613).

    Just on the off chance I have restarted Cadence, and the window command now works!

    So something somewhere got mangled. Thanks!

    Often when the CIW does not seem to respond it is due to unbalanced parentheses (closing or right parens missing), or unbalanced double quotes (which can lead to unbalanced parens, giving both problemsat the same time).  This can most often be overcome by typing a single square right bracket ']' which is a "super bracket" supplying as many parens as needed to close. If this does not work then a double quote followed by the square bracket might tackle both unbalanced quotes and unbalanced parens.  Finally, if it is still not responding, you can try Ctrl-C.

    Regards,
    Lawrence.

    Great, thanks. I now have a successful plot. But I'd like to get the 2 y-lists onto separate strips.

    I tried awvToStripMenuCB() but this didn't do anything.

    Any ideas?
