skill code equiv of ADE-XL Create/Spec Summary and Plot all waveforms?

danmc91

I have a family of IP (amplifiers for the sake of discussion) and I'm moving away from ADE-XL to Ocean-XL for simulation.  Why?  Because I have a variety of different designs which are pin compatible but have varying power consumption, bandwidth, etc.  I want to have basically the exact same set of scripts and just load a config file that specifies my design and a few of the numbers (target power, target bandwidth, etc).  Then I can share all of that code across a bunch of designs and when layouts are complete I can use the exact same code for extracted views.

The problem I'm running into is I can't seem to figure out a skill code equivalent of the ADE-XL  Create->Spec Summary followed by saving to CSV.  ocnxlOutputSummary() is sort of similar but gives a drastically different output format and I already have tools which can read the ADE-XL spec summary CSV file and format into the document format I require.

Similarly, I don't see a skill equivalent of the Results tab, Plot all Waveforms button in ADE-XL.  What I've been doing is clicking that button and then I have skill code which creates EPS files for each of my subwindows that result.

In the past, I've used ocean (not ocean-xl) with quite a bit of success for things like this but wanted to take advantage of the job distribution, specifications, etc. that ADE-XL (and hence ocean-xl) offer.  Also soon I will have no choice for Monte-Carlo.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
