soft_bin option

Eshar
Eshar over 13 years ago

I am trying to use the soft_bin option.

1) I created a stimulus file containing the line: soft_bin=allmodels

2) I included the file using the stimulusFile command in Ocean 

 However, I received the following runtime error:

 soft_bin: Too few terminals given (0 < 2)

 

What are "terminals" that this message refers to?

I couldn't find much information regarding this simulation option so I would appreciate any guidance.

    Add this  in your stimulus file:

    instanceInfo info what=inst where=logfile

    and it will output information on each instance, including the name of the model (including the bin number) that was used, into the log file (spectre.out if run from OCEAN). You can use where=file if you want it to go to an ASCII file.

    It's also stored in the binary results database (from selectData('instance), but currently requires a private SKILL function to access it - there's a CCR to make a public function available - if you want that, please log a service request with customer support to add yourself to the customers requesting this.
