individual sweep for each simulation in ADEXL

Hello, I am trying to simulate two  types of sweep, Ids vs Vgs (vds sweep)

Ids vs Vds (vgs sweep).

I was able  to create one of them separatly by changing the global variables,As shown bellow .

However i cannot make a lsweep type list in the local variables of the simulation only on the global.

Instead of sweeping only 5 steps for each type of simulation (10 ittrerations)

When i put a range on both vgs and vds,it activates both simulations on every combination(25 itterations)

Is there a waythat we could do a condional parametric sweep?

for simulation 1 sweep only vgs,for simulation 2 sweep only vds .

    You can do this with ADE Assembler (ADE XL is in "sunset" mode). In Assembler you can sweep local variables (so you could sweep vds in one test, and vgs in the other test; no need to sweep global variables in that case).

    You can do it in ADE XL, but it's a bit clunky. The way to do this is to define a new design variable in each test called (say) vsweep and then turn off the checkbox for Vds and Vgs in the global sweep, and set the local variable in one test to have Vds=VAR("vsweep") and in the other test Vgs=VAR("vsweep") . Then sweep the global variable vsweep.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
