Plotting the Phase Noise: *Error* quotient: can't handle (nil / 1.414214)

Hello friends

I have simulated a VCO and I would like to plot phase noise after pss+pnoise simulation. But I face to this error:

 *Error* quotient: can't handle (nil / 1.414214)

Could somebody help me?

Thanks in advance

Shaa

    Shaa,

    Not really enough info to go on. Which version are you using (of the IC tools and spectre). For IC do Help->About and note the subversion, and the simulator subversion will be in the simulator output log.

    Do you have any unusual characters in the net names you're measuring the output at? Perhaps you can post a picture of the form and also show the analysis statements from the netlist (i.e. everything from the options statement to the end of the input.scs)?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
