Interfacing Spectre Output to MATLAB

 Dear All,

Can anybody tell me how to interface Spectre (ADE) output (like waveform) to MATLAB for further processing

    Which version of MMSIM (spectre -W) are you using, and which version of Matlab? Which platform are you running on?

    In my case, I ensure that I have spectre in my path, and do this (for csh; for bash you'd use "export MATLABPATH=...")

    setenv MATLABPATH `cds_root spectre`/tools/spectre/matlab/64bit
    setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH `cds_root spectre`/tools/dfII/lib:`cds_root spectre`/tools/lib/64bit:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    I'm running a 64-bit Linux OS, and running 64 bit Matlab, so as you can see I've ensured that I'm pointing at the 64 bit versions of the shared libraries.

    That's all I need to do. 

    Note that there was a problem in the early MMSIM10.1 versions (it was fixed in MMSIM10.1 ISR5) where there was a compiler incompatibility as described in solution 11699006

    Regards,

    Andrew.
