OCEAN/SKILL scripting

Hi Vara,

Do you already have the config view so that you can use the hierarchy editor to switch back and forth when you simulate?

I think it should be straightforward to use hierarchy editor to create the two different netlists that you would need for the OCEAN sims.  Just copy them to different names other than the default netlist (like netlist_sch and netlist_beh).

Then, it is very similar to what you proposed.
1. set the design for netlist_sch in OCEAN ( design("/userX/.../spectre/config/netlist/netlist_sch") and also set the results directory ( resultsDir("("/userX/.../spectre/results_sch/")
2. run()
3. set the design for netlist_beh in OCEAN ( design("/userX/.../spectre/config/netlist/netlist_beh") and also set the results directory ( resultsDir("("/userX/.../spectre/results_beh/")
4. run()

So now you have two different results directories that you can query using the openResults command in OCEAN and process & manipulate all the saved data any which way you please.

Hope this isn't too brief an explanation! :-)

Hi Vara,

I agree with SGG_RFIC, to use the config view is the simpliest way to do it.
However I guess you know that too.

Have you tried, changing the environment option "switchViewList"?
envOption( 'switchViewList '( "schematic" "veriloga" )  ; netlist priority is schematic view
or
envOption( 'switchViewList '( "veriloga" "schematic" )  ; netlist priority is veriloga view

I have used it and work in socket simulation ( spectreS ), have not tried it on other simulator.
1. set simulator, for me its spectreS
2. set design, design( "MYLIB" "MYCELL" "schematic" "r" )
3. set other common environment seting such as analysis, desVar, temp, includeFile, etc.
4. set resultDir, to separate result folder of 2 simulation
5. set switchViewList, envOption( 'switchViewList '( "schematic" "veriloga" )
6. create netlist, for me I used createFinalNetlist()
7. run()
8. selectResult( 'tran ), if analysis is 'tran,
9. then store the results on a variable, resultSchem = getData( "out" )
10. set resultDir, new directory
11. set switchViewList, envOption( 'switchViewList '( "veriloga" "schematic" )
12. repeat 6 to 9, store the results to a new variable, resultVloga = getData( "out" )
13. plot the results,
            plot( resultSchem )
            plot( resultVloga )
            plot( resultSchem-resultVloga )

By the way, load your script in a icfb CIW, i think it will not run in OCEAN prompt.

I hope this would help you on what you want to accomplish.

Regards.

Hi Gilbert,
Thanks for the message. It was useful but i could not manage to shift views successfully.
Instead, this information was very useful in what i wanted to do.

I try to access all voltages with use of getData, but it seems really slow, when having a 3906 outputs it will take about 24 seconds to access the voltages, is there a faster way?

[code] mySimTableTable = makeTable( "mySimData" nil ) selectResults( simtype ) mySweepValues = sweepValues() myCount = 0.0 myTotal = length( mySweepValues ) myOutputs = outputs( ?type "V") mySimTableTable = makeTable( "mySimData" nil ) foreach( element_1 mySweepValues myCount++ printf( " \n - Reading savepoint %.1f %s\n" 100.0*myCount/myTotal "%" ) selectResults( simtype element_1 ) startTime = getCurrentTime() foreach( element_2 myOutputs myval = value( getData(element_2) ) myStepSimTable[ element_2] = myval ) endTime = getCurrentTime() printf( " Finished in : %10d (seconds)\n" compareTime( endTime startTime ) ) ) mySimTableTable[ element_1 ] = myStepSimTable [/code]
