How to change dochecklimit option

VaclavKotrc
VaclavKotrc over 5 years ago

Hi,

I have 70+ tests in ADE assembler, and all of them have "dochecklimit = yes" option checked
(Options->Analog->Check->Device Checking Options)

Is there a way in SKILL to change this option to "no" for all of my tests?

using cadence help and google I found this:
envSetVal("spectre.opts" "dochecklimit" 'string "yes")
But it works only for tests created afterwards, not affecting those already created.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Vaclav.

    Vaclav,

    You don't really need to use SKILL for this. If using IC618/ICADVM181 (I think ISR3 or later), you can use the multi-test editor (Tools->Multi-Test Editor in Assembler). You'll get a UI like this which compares the different tests, and in the first filter column if you type "dochecklimit" you'll find that option for all the tests:

    You can then click on the "yes" value in one of the cells, and you'll get a cyclic field to change the value (or you could have gone into one of the tests and changed the setting there), so it looks something like this:

    If you click away from the cyclic field, and then hover over the value you've just changed and hit the right mouse button, you can choose to copy the selected items to all tests (which would set them all to "no"):

    When you've finished doing your multi-test edits, you can hit the save icon that I highlighted above.

    No SKILL was harmed in this solution ;-)

    Regards,

    Andrew.
