Enable probes via tcl script at certain time or event

Pedro P
Pedro P over 3 years ago

I am simulating a big AMS chip, and would like to enable some analog probes via a tcl script just after a certain digital signal, to prevent unnecessary probes before a crucial event.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Is it also possible to at a future event to disable those same probes and add some other probes?

Thank you

    Use the "stop" command to create a breakpoint on the signal chaning value, and use the command's "-execute" option to specify the probe command.

    stop -condition {#trigger_sig == 1} -execute {probe -create -shm my_signal}
