how to use awd to view spectre command line simulation results

I've done some simulation using spectre command line with some
parameters sweeping. When I view the simulation results using AWD, I
can only find the result for the last value of the parameter that I
swept. Could anyone tell me how to find the results for other parameter
values? Maybe I didn't use "sweep" function properly? Thans.

 

I can't see why this shouldn't work. Are you using the middle-mouse->Create ROF
over the psf directory name in order to create the "Run Object File" that AWD
needs?

Note, this is not needed if you're using the newer wavescan tool.

Yes, I've been trying both tools (AWD and Wavescan) and I was able to
get the results. However I've been using "Sweep" function, I can only
find the result for the last value, say, I sweep inductance from 1nH to
10nH, after the simulation I can only find the result for the
simulation with 10nH inductor. Could you please tell me how to get the
result for other values? Thanks.

 

I can't see why this wouldn't work. Similar things work fine for me. Can you
post the netlist, or a simplified form of the netlist?

Andrew.

 

Hi Andrew,
Here is a simiplified version of my netlist. When I run the sumulation
I typed "spectre input.scs", please let me know if you have any
suggesstion. Thanks a lot.

What happen if you do:

indu_sweep sweep param=indu values=[1n 3n 5n 7n 9n] {

annotate=status maxiters=5
}


Use resultbrowser in awd and click with left button on the wanted signal
of *any* sweep run to bring up the calculator. press the plot or erplot
buttons and the calculator will plot your wave family.

 

Hi Svenn,

That worked. Thanks a lot.
