CDS_SRR doesn't

OK, first of all you don't need both SPECTRE and MMSIM in your path - SPECTRE supersedes MMSIM.

You need to do this:

setenv MATLABPATH `cds_root spectre`/tools/spectre/matlab/64bit

or

setenv MATLABPATH `spectre_root`/tools/spectre/matlab/64bit

To ensure the cds_srr utility (the Spectre toolbox) is in your path. BTW, the Matlab "RF" toolbox isn't needed for this.

Andrew.

BTW, for the documentation, it's not in the Spectre User Guide. It's in the Spectre RF Theory. Simplest thing is to run <SPECTREinstDir>/bin/cdnshelp and search for "matlab". You'll then find one of the hits is the "The Spectre/RF MATLAB Toolbox"

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for your prompt response. 

When I added in .bashrc the entry:

export MATLABPATH=`spectre_root`/tools/spectre/matlab/64bit

I get bash: spectre_root: command not found.

I also do source .bashrc

And also in this post:  https://community.cadence.com/cadence_technology_forums/f/rf-design/21507/working-with-dc-sweeps-and-op

In Matlab when I do: 

gm=cds_srr('./idcurvesw.raw','sweepvgs_dc-sweep','m1:gm');
contour(getfield(gm,'vgs:dc'),gm.dc,gm.S);

I get an error that says vgs:dc is a variable that doesn't exisit. But when I check the output the variable name has changed to vgs_dc and it works when I change the variable:

gm=cds_srr('./idcurvesw.raw','sweepvgs_dc-sweep','m1:gm');
contour(getfield(gm,'vgs_dc'),gm.dc,gm.S);

Thanks a lot.

Perhaps you have wrapper scripts in the way in your environment and maybe when you do "which spectre" it's not actually spectre from a Cadence installation - and because of that "which spectre_root" gives an error. Anyway, the key its that you need to have MATLABPATH set to include the path to the tools/spectre/matlab/64bit dir underneath a SPECTRE installation.

You're right the field is now called 'vgc_dc'. I suspect that was a fix to avoid having colon in the the name that's been made at some point in the 7 years since I posted that suggestion in the thread you mentioned. One benefit is that you can now avoid having to call getfield (that was essential because of the colon in the field name) and do:

contour(gm.vgs_dc,gm.dc,gm.S);

Regards,

Andrew.
