Undefined function - psf to convert psf into ASCII

Hi,

I am trying to use the "psf" command to convert psf simulation results into ASCII format. However, typing the required command ("psf -i tran.tran -o tran.ascii") in the CIW returns this error: "*Error* eval: undefined function - psf".
Has the psf command been removed from newer versions of Virtuoso? I am running IC6.1.8-64b.500.14. If so, is there another way to export simulations into ASCII PSFs from ADE XL?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Loris

    Loris,

    No. It's a UNIX command, not something you type in the CIW (it always has been a UNIX command rather than a SKILL function). It's still present.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for the clarification. I struggled to find any documentation on this command and was actually unsure about this. It appears it was simply missing from my UNIX path.

    Best,
    Loris
