Plotting and Saving the node voltages/currents of hierarchically down instances

RFStuff

Dear All,

I want to  plot and save the node voltages/currents of hierarchically down instances in my scmematic.

I am using selected nodes ( NOT ALL) in ADE to make things run faster.

I tried :- In ADE-- Outputs to be Saved -->Then I went to the  hierarchically down instances and clicked on the nodes.

But this didn't work.

Could anybody please tell how I can  plot and save the node voltages/currents of hierarchically down instances.

Kind Regards,

    That should be the right process. When you say "this didn't work" - what didn't work? Did the net names not appear in the output pane in ADE? Did they appear but not get converted to save statements in the netlist? Did you have a prompt at the bottom of the schematic window telling you what to do? It's hard to know what you mean...

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew

     I think probably I could not convey the problemproperly to the forum.

    What I want is to plot/save the node voltages which is in the down hierarchy of the INSTANCE ( let's say I20).

    That is the node/net is  I20-->I5-->I1---net2

    I go down to the hierarchy in schemtaic ( that is in to the schematic of I1). Then I do ADE(IC5141) -> Outputs--> To be Saved --> Select on the Schematic, on th prompt it says click on the net in the Schematic. Then I clicked on the net2 in the scemtaic.

    But after this nothing happens. The net doesn't appear in the ADE plot/save list. The prompts still shows  click on the net in the Schematic.

    This should work. I'd suggest contacting customer support so that we can do a webex to see if we can spot anything unusual in your setup (there's a possibility that if you have some unusual views you are switching into then it might (possibly) be an issue, but that's workaroundable if it's that). Sounds odd though...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
