stream Out using SKILL

ahata

Hello,

I'using the following code in order to transalte my OA layouts to gds.

xstSetField("library" libName)
xstSetField("topCell" cell )
xstSetField("strmFile" strmOutCellName )
xstSetField("virtualMemory" "true")
xstOutDoTranslate()

I seek throughout the Cadence documentation in order to see how the xstOutDoTranslate function is defined and I couldn't find anything about it. So could anyone tell me how this function is defined and which parameters I can tuned?

 My second question, when the xstOutDoTranslate is properly configured, once this command is executed it always produces a pop-up message highlighting the errors and warnings occurred during the translation and forces you to answer the question if I want to see the log file or not. Since I'd like to do the translation of several cells subsequently, is there any to not allowed this pop-up  windows to be prompt? 

Thanks in advance

    Ahata,

    You can define the function xstOutOnCompletion to trigger when the stream out finishes. See the documentation for more details.

    i tried to use this function to check whether the streamOut translation  xstOutDoTranslate() ) worked or not and some weird stuff happened. 

    So initially I had my SKILL code with only the xstOutDoTranslate() instruction and everything went normal.

    ...

    xstOutDoTranslate()

    ...

    Then I added also the line  for xstOutOnCompletion as follows

    ...

    xstOutDoTranslate()

    xstOutOnCompletion(stat)

    ...

    The following error message appeared:

    *Error* apply: undefined function - xstOutOnCompletion

    Then if I erase the  the line xstOutOnCompletion(stat) and my code stays as:

    ...

    xstOutDoTranslate()

    ...

    The same error message appears again: 

    *Error* apply: undefined function - xstOutOnCompletion 

    So I need to close cadence and open it again in order to make my original code to work again.

     

    I don't know why this is happening...but I'm still able to create my gds files....

    btw, I'm using version cadence 6.1.4.
