ADE ~> Outputs to be saved

Kai1646

 Dear all,

I have question about how ADE managing its outputed node/pins.

I open ADE -> Outputs -> To be saved -> Select On Schematic
I have selected the pin on an Instance from schematic.
similar below:

I44/vout1
I44/vin2p

Then I go to Simulation -> Netlist -> Create

The value under save line in the netlist is

save I44:6 I44:1

My question is how did ADE convert the value I selected?

That's all.
Thanks.

    In ADE you specify the instance name and terminal name you wish to save or plot the current through (by probing on the schematic). During netlisting, the netlister keeps track of mapping information - in this case the simulator syntax is to give the instance name and terminal position (by order). So when a subckt is netlisted, the netlister remembers the mapping between terminal name and terminal order, so that anything that needs referencing by order can do so. 

    Spectre itself can have terminal currents saved by terminal name rather than by position, but for historical and compatibility reasons it is done by order.

    Regards,
