Set the Location of Results Browser

    I have open the results of my simulation by:

    dir = "/home/simulationResult/psf"
    openResults(dir) command
    selectResult('tran)

    then plot the data of a specific node

    plot(getData("net031"))

    Then the waveform displayed.

    Then invoked the Results Browser through "Tools Menu".

    But I have noticed that the psf directory that I've opened was
    different to the directory that was indicated at the "Location" of
    Results Browser.

    Is there a way to set the Location of Results Browser by script?

    I've tried the command:

    dir = "/home/simulationResult/psf"
    envSetVal("wavescan.browser" "dataDirHome " 'string dir)

    but it didn't work.

    Can anyone help me about this matter?

    What IC subversion are you using? ("icfb -W" or Help->About... in the DFII CIW
    will tell you this). I know there has been a problem sometimes with wavescan not
    getting synced up with ADE/OCEAN, but I believe that's fixed in recent ISRs. I
    know it worked when I tried it just now.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Sorry for my late reply...
    Thank you very much for the information...
    The IC subversion that I am using is sub-version 5.10.41.500.5.109
    Is this the latest ISR?

  4. Close, but I'm wondering whether this is influenced by something related which
    was fixed in 5.10.41.500.5.115 (the latest ISR is .5.117).

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thank you.
    By the way, I've noticed that if I've plot a node from
    simulation result of transient Analysis Mode, the
    Location Directory of Results Browser was changed.
    But if I've plot a node from dcOp Analysis Mode, the
    Location Directory of Results Browser was not changed.

    And I've also noticed the Warning Msg on CIW.
    The message is as folows:

    *WARNING* envSetVal: Can't set the value of variable
    'updateCDFtermOrder', in tool[.partition] 'asimenv.misc'
    - it has not been registered.

    Is this warning has a connection to my problem?

    I'm very sorry for the disturb.
    But I really want to finished our project as soon as possible
    so I'm asking for your help.

    I really appreciate your respond.
    Tnx and God bless!

    The warning has nothing to do with it. You have an old ~/.cdsenv (most likely)
    which had:

    asimenv.misc updateCDFtermOrder boolean t

    at some point in the past, this variable was moved to a different tool area,
    and should now be:

    auCore.misc updateCDFtermOrder boolean t

    If you still have the old definition, you'll get a warning.

    The symptoms you're seeing with transient sounds similar to the problem
    I've seen which was fixed in the .115 Hotfix version.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thank you very much for your help.
    I really appreciate it.

    By the way, I am asking again your help because even we have used the
    updated IC subversion sub-version 5.10.41.500.5.117, we still
    encountered our problem with the Location of Results Browser.

    We have two kinds of Problem:

    Type 1 (Using the icfb after we simulate – DC and Transient Analysis)
    We’re not using Analog Design Environment in our simulation.
    We’re using a Base Ocean Script.
    Then when we plot a certain node from the result:

    For example:
    rDir = "/home/SimResult/psf"
    openResults(rDir)
    selectResult('tran) | selectResult('dcOp)
    envSetVal("wavescan.browser" "dataDirHome" 'string rDir)
    plot(getData(""net031))

    When I invoked the Results Browser the Location does not contain
    the rDir directory.
    But when we have used the envGetVal(“wavescan.browser”
    “dataDirHome” ‘string), the return value is same as the
    value of rDir.


    Type 2 (Loading a workspace or use the previously simulate folder)

    DC Analysis
    It is the same on Type1, it does not display the expected Location
    Directory of Results Browser.

    Transient Analysis
    It displayed correctly.
    The Location Bar of Results Browser contains the same as rDir.

    I don’t know why the Location Bar of Results Browser is not displaying
    the expected directory even though the envGetVal(“wavescan.browser”
    “dataDirHome” ‘string) return my expected directory.
    It only worked in icfb where we don't run the simulation and with
    Transient Analysis Mode.

    Do you have any idea of this problem?

    Good morning!

    Thank you very much for your help...
    We have discover the cause of the problem.
    In the psf result folder that we have generated by executing the
    runSpectre file, we have noticed that it does not include 4 files that
    were included in the psf result folder executed by Analog Design
    Environment.
    These files are:
    artistLogFile, runObjFile, simRunData, and variable_file.

    When we copy those files in out psf folder, the directory of Location
    bar of Results Browser was changed according to the directory of our
    psf folder.

    Thank you very much...
    May you have a nice day!
