How to define a current measurement in ADEXL + Montecarlo using AMS Designer

Hi All,

I am facing the following issue:

  1. I am currently setting up some montecarlo simulations using AMS Designer in ADEXL.
  2. I need to define a current measurement to be performed during the Montecarlo runs (at 700 us), that I set up in the following way: value(i("/R15/MINUS") 0.0007)
  3. However, for whatever a reason, the measurement fail for each montecarlo run; following you see the error I get at each montecarlo run (this is an extract of the Job.log):

\o ERROR (ADE-2709): Evaluation of output 'test1' returned 'nil' for point:'1' test:'wk_test:test:1'

\o           Expression:'value(i("/R15/MINUS") 0.0007)'.

\o Ensure that the definition of output is correct.

Could it be that my syntax is wrong? If yes, could you please suggest me the correct one?

Thanks in advance!

    I combined your two posts (please read the forum guidelines (pinned post at the top of each forum) which ask you not to file the same question in more than one forum.

    Your expression needs to be either:

    value(i("/R15/MINUS" ?result "tran") 0.0007)

    or

    value(IT("/R15/MINUS") 0.0007)

    Otherwise it won't know which analysis to get the result from.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for replying me. I will try and let you know.

    By the way, regarding my double post, yes I read the forum guidelines and, in fact, I wanted to delete the one filed in the other community but, I don't know why, I was not able to perform the action (I was getting an error). But I see that you did it for me. Thanks a lot!
