Can't plot phase noise from pnoise result window in SpectreRF

    Dear Cadence,

    I followed the instruction manual to simulate phase noise
    of a LC oscillator, I run the pss analysis and pnoise analysis.
    Then, when I try to plot results of pnoise, I can plot
    "Output Noise", however, when I chose "Phase Noise" it
    says
    "Output nodes of pnoise analysis not saved for pss analysis.
    As a result, the above selected function cannot be executed."

    I have restarted Cadence, redrew the schematic, set
    Output->Save All... and checked "all" everywhere, but I still
    cannot plot phase noise. What is my problem?

    Best Regards,

    Zhiheng

  2. What version are you using (what does Help->About... in the CIW say)? I recall
    this being a bug at some point in the past, which has been fixed.

    I vaguely recall it being an issue if your output nodes contained odd
    characters (such as "+" and "-"). If you stuck to alphabetic characters,
    all was OK...

    Andrew.
