Export measurement units with axlExportOutputView() (ADE Maestro Results/Monte Carlo)

Johanny Saenz
Johanny Saenz 3 days ago

Hello,

I am using the following SKILL commands to export ADE Maestro Monte Carlo results to CSV:

sess = axlGetWindowSession()

csvFilePath = "BANDGAP_MC_Export.csv"

axlExportOutputView(sess csvFilePath "Results" ?history "MC")

This successfully exports the numerical results, and the same approach also works for other output views (e.g., Summary, Yield, etc.).

However, I have not found a way to export the measurement units associated with each output. For example, I would like to obtain a column containing units such as:

  • V
  • A
  • dB
  • °C
  • deg
  • Hz
  • s
  • %

or any other unit defined for the measurement.

I searched the SKILL documentation and experimented with axlExportOutputView(), but I could not find any option that exports the units together with the results.

My questions are:

  1. Is there an option in axlExportOutputView() to include the measurement units in the generated CSV?
  2. If not, is there another SKILL API that allows retrieving the units for each output expression programmatically?
  3. Are the units stored in the Maestro session database and accessible through another object or function?

For reference, I am using Virtuoso ADE Maestro with Spectre (ICADVM 20.1 ISR75).

The motivation is to generate automated reports from the exported CSV files, where each measurement includes its corresponding engineering unit.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

    You can use:

    envSetVal( "adexl.results" "exportFormat" 'cyclic "valuesAsInGUI")

    This was introduced in IC6.1.8/ICADVM20.1 ISR28 (you mention ISR75, but there is no ISR75...).

    More details can be found here: How to export the Explorer/Assembler result values with units in a separate column to CSV/Excel
