How to access to the inside node signal

Hi, 

I'd like to know how to access the inside node signal in monte carlo script.(MDL)

Although I tried "sig=V(NEW_SW.Gate)" and "sig=V(NEW_SW:Gate)", it didn't work well (error).

Can I access lower node voltage?

Thanks,

Ichiro

    If it is a node voltage, then sig=V(NEW_SW.Gate) should work. In other words, there is an instance called NEW_SW and there's a node within that called "Gate". 

    I just tried it, and it works fine. If it doesn't, you may need to provide an example to illustrate the problem (the spectre netlist and the MDL file).

    Andrew.

    Yes, it works well. I put in wrong syntax.

    Thanks,
