Saving subcircuit signals

    I'm trying to save all node voltages of a subcircuit in a transient
    simulation with spectre. When I use the following save statement

    save I1.all

    where I1 is the instance name of the subcircuit, I get the following
    warning:

    Warning from spectre during inital setup.
    subcktInst:ID disallowed temporarily (till?).
    Ignoring invalid item `I1.all' in save statement.

    The spectre version I'm using is 5.0.33.031705.

    Is there a way around this problem? I.e. is there another way to save
    all signals in a subcircuit without having to specify them one by one?

    Thanks,
    Thomas

    I haven't done exactly what you're asking for. I've had cases where I
    want to save all voltages in all instances. For that, I set the
    subcktprobelevel (or something similar) option.

  3. Actually the option is "nestlvl" (subcktprobelvl saves currents down through the
    hierarchy). There's also an enhancement request to support wildcards in save
    statements, which would allow this for specific subckts, rather than all of them
    (hopefully this should be coming fairly soon).
