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

  • I finally managed to stream out my cdl netlis. I used the following code (in case anyone wants to use it)
