wavescan combine subwindows?

    I am attempting to plot power contours using spectreRF. I have
    cadence version 5.1.41.USR3, that uses wavescan for plotting. After
    doing a parametric sweep for a pss simulation, I choose Results-
    Once on the direct plot window, I choose my 'power contours' function
    to plot, set the 'plotting mode' to 'append' configure my boundries,
    and then hit plot. The problem is that it displays 9 separate smith
    charts, each in its own sub-window. I did had 9 steps in my
    parametric analysis, so that makes some sense.

    The problem is that I need all of them overlaid into 1 single window.
    Since they are 'subwindows' I cannot just go to the 'axis' menu and
    choose 'stips' that is diabled. I know that this can be done, because
    in the "Virtuoso SpectreRF Simulation Option
    User Guide Product Version 5.1.41" page 900, it shows all of the
    contours in one single window.

    Has anyone run into this before? I know all that is needed is
    'append' to be set, but no matter what I do, it won't let the 'append'
    plotting mode to work.

    Thanks for any help.

  2. You can probably just drag the curves onto one of the smith charts. I can't
    easily test right now. I'm a bit surprised that the charts are all separate - I
    can only assume they are displaying disparate things?

    Also USR3 is quite old - there have been a lot of improvements in the wavescan
    smith chart more recently, so you might want to consider a newer IC5141 build.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
