Question on OCEAN standalone evaluation

trdastidar
trdastidar over 13 years ago

Hi,

Got a question on OCEAN scripts (same applies to artil as well)

I have an ADE L state, from which I save the OCEAN script, and then run it. It runs fine.

Suppose, there is a calculator function in this OCEAN script, which looks like this:

gain_1 = value(dB20(mag(v("/outp" ?result "ac-ac"))) 1)

plot( gain_1 ?expr '( "gain_1" ) )

Now, suppose I want to run the calculator function again (with possibly some modifications). Since the simulation is already run, I remove the entire top part of the OCEAN script, and replace it with a call to openResults, like below:

openResults( "results.psf" ) ; Replace "results.psf" with the actual path of the PSF directory

I run the OCEAN script, but it fails, with the following error:

> WARNING (OCN-6054): The output '/outp' you selected does not exist. Type outputs() to see the list

Now comes the funny part. I change the calculator expression to the following:

gain_1 = value(dB20(mag(v("outp" ?result "ac-ac"))) 1)

That is, I removed the "/" character in the signal name. The script now runs fine!

Could anyone tell me why this happens? I know the workaround for it, but would like to understand why that workaround is necessary at all.

    I think this tells why they are not the same ---

    WARNING (SPECTRE-8281): `I0.rxcpdqrx.ctlep<5>' is not a node nor an instance name. 

     And I am already in touch with customer support (no resolution so far). Lets see...
