Title: bug in PSS plot results form?
Post by bsimtim on Oct 18^th, 2005, 9:50am

Hi, I have come across a problem in SpectreS of Cadence version ic5033. I have looked through this board and through the KPNS, and cannot find it there. I am trying to figure out if this is a bug in Cadence or a bug in our setup. The problem is this:

After running a PSS or SPSS simulation, I would like to access the results form to select, for instance, IP3 plots. However, from ADE, when I do Results->DirectPlot->PSS, the form never appears. It opens a new waveform window, and asks to select a net on the schematic window, but the plotting form never opens.

Has anyone seen this, or maybe know a solution?

Thanks,
Tim

Do you have to use spectreS? It's been obsolete for some time...

I've not seen this before, but then I've not used spectreS for ages (it brings me out in a rash).

Regards,

Andrew.

I meant to say - can you use the "spectre" interface instead?

Regards,

Andrew.

I guess that is the way to go. Personally, I use spectre over spectreS, and do much prefer it. Right now, the default at our university research group is spectreS for some reason (probably people were just too lazy to change it). So I guess this is a good time to change. Thanks for the advice.
