Interfacing Spectre Output to MATLAB

RFQuery

 Dear All,

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

    Thanks a lot Andrew.

    Your suspicion is absolutely right. ;)

    I realized that after ( also after putting the above question on the Post) doing some more investigation into the issue.

    But one more problem now I am running into is the ADE simulation is little bit slower after the upgradation.

    In the output log it is printing more lines and in that process simulation is getting slower..

    I have not changed the ADE settings or anything that short after the upgradation

    If the simulation is running slower, you should contact customer support. Hard to figure out why without seeing the details.

     Thanks Andre.

    We highly appreciate your help and patience.

    We will be contacting the customer support.

    Also I have attached the output log files. If you can have a look at it it will be really helpful and fasten the process.

    spectre_after.out:-  LOG FILE AFTER INSTALLING HOTFIX for MMSIM10.1

    spectre_before.out:-  LOG FILE BEFORE INSTALLING HOTFIX for MMSIM10.1

    The ADE setting is kept same in the above two cases.

    Having looked at the log files, I see that the simulation did not actually run any slower (look at the elapsed time output). It's just annotating the steps correctly now in the AC analysis. With a small step size, it was under-reporting it before, I think.

    If the issue is display of the log in ADE, you could always go to the Options form for the AC analysis and change the setting of "annotate" to "sweep" (the default is "status"). This definitely reduces the amount of output from the AC analysis to a row of dots...

    I can't see any CCRs describing the fact that this has changed - maybe you'll get something from your service request (don't have time to dig further myself right now).

    Andrew.
