exiting an ocean session in the CIW

markbeck
markbeck over 14 years ago

I'm trying to create an external netlist with a skill script and the only way that I know how to do this is to issue the following commands:

simulator('spectre)
design(t_lib t_cell t_view)
netlistDir("/some/directory/path")
createNetlist()

This works fine, but if I don't issue the run() command, the CIW thinks that I'm still in an ocean session. I can't issue an exit() command because the CIW interprents this as "exit virtuoso".  

Does anyone out there know how to exit an interactive ocean session in the CIW without issuing a 'run()' command?

Thanks,
Mark

    Hi Mark,

    I have not tried this out, but it looks promising from the function name and documentation: ocnCloseSession()

    ocnCloseSession( )
         => t / nil


    Closes the current OCEAN session without saving any settings made during the session. The command has no effect if no session is currently active.

    The "simulator()" command starts the simulator session, so I hope this function closes it.

    Hope it helps!

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
