Help with rdbWriteToFormat

Hello!

I am trying to use the command rdbWriteToFormat to save my output data and later use in matlab. But when I run the script it does not create the file and I am not sure why.

This is my script

simulator( 'spectre )
design( "/home/ponth428/simulation/DAC_TB/spectre/schematic/netlist/netlist")
resultsDir( "/home/ponth428/simulation/DAC_TB/spectre/schematic" )
modelFile( 
'("/sw/cadence/libraries/gpdk180_v3.3/models/spectre/gpdk.scs" "stat")
)
analysis('tran ?stop "$tstop" ?errpreset "conservative" )
desVar( "fclk" 1G )
desVar( "fsin" 0.5M )
desVar( "vdd" 1 )
desVar( "vss" 0 )
desVar( "tstop" "2/fsin" )
envOption(
'analysisOrder list("tran") 
)
temp( 27 ) 
run()
selectResult( 'tran )
plot(getData("/clk") getData("/sin") getData("/out") )
rdbWriteToFormat( "unbound" "/home/ponth428/output.vcsv" "VCSV" '(("/home/ponth428/simulation/DAC_TB/spectre/schematic/psf" (("tran" ("/out"))))))

    This function only works if you have opened the results browser. See  How to Export All Signals using rdbWriteToFormat

    It's not really intended to be a means of exporting to formats (such as VCSV) from OCEAN. I'd suggest you look at the code in this post.

    Andrew.
