Error plotting finesim psf results with OCEAN/artil

Hi,

I have a set of PSF results generated with the finesim simulator (run from ADE through OASIS). Now, I need to run some calculator functions on them.

When I open the results directory in OCEAN or artil, I get this message:

 WARNING (OCN-6152): Simulator finesim is not registered.
         Calculator data access functions (e.g., VT, IT, etc.) will not work.
         However, ocean data access functions (e.g., v, i, getData, etc.) will work.

The function that I try to evaluate is:

Max_Current = ymax(IS("some_signal"))

However, it doesn't work.

When I replace it with

Max_Current = ymax(i("some_signal" ?result srcSweep))

it works.

Any idea how to make it work in the original form?

Further, the signal names in the results ( as visible with the results() ) command use '.' as the hierarchy separator. However, in the OCEAN script, '/' is used as a hierarchy separator.

Is there a way I can get the OCEAN script to recognize the signal names without having to change the separator to '.'?

Regards,

Tathagato

    Yes, but if the results were written out by a particular simulator, you need the integration of that simulator loaded so that it knows what IS maps to. The exact name of the result database may vary from one simulator to another, and unless it has the integration loaded, it doesn't know that the ?result should be 'srcSweep (for spectre it would be 'dc).

    So as I said, you will most likely need the simulator integration loaded - and you clearly don't have that because it is saying that it is not registered.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
