ViVA re-simulate and plot again

Colin Ramsay
Colin Ramsay over 10 years ago
Hi there mixed signal designers
I'm looking for help on how to do something in ViVA (the graphing tool for sims run from ADEXL).
I'm running AMS sims and would like to set up the plot window to look as I would like it (group signals into buses, group analog signals together on the same axes, etc), then re-run a simulation and plot the signals in the same window (or a different window but with the same format that I have just spent 5 minutes getting right).
I have not yet been able to work out how to do this.  Can anyone help?  It is driving me mad!
I am starting the sims from ADE-XL.  Someone suggested I discard ViVA and use Simvision instead.  However I can't find the way to do this.  I found out from here (www.youtube.com/watch that I should get an SST2 output format so that I can use Simvision, but I can't find how to set SST2 from ADE-XL.  What opinion do people have of Simvision vs ViVA?
Thanks
Colin

    You can also use the Refresh plot mode in ADE to get the window to stay the same from one run to the next. Each of the outputs have to be in the ADE outputs for this to work (you can use RMB->Send to ADE for any that have been added by hand afterwards).
