Title: Post-processing capabilities in Verilog-AMS/Spectr
Post by Faisal on Aug 3^rd, 2006, 9:20am

Hi,

Are there post-processing capabilities (like plotting etc) available in Verilog-AMS or Spectre? I collect some data during my simulation in an array that can be dumped into a file. I would like to visuliaze this data by plotting it in waveform ?

Verilog-AMS is a language, not a tool ...

wavescan is Cadence's new waveform viewer for their simulators.

you can try simvision as well...

there are no plotting functions actually IN either simulator..
and neither AWD, wavescan nor simvision do a very decent job showing you the value(s) of an array.. but if you collect these from a variable over time you can plot the value of the variable during the simulation..
or make sure you format your output ( or reprocess it with perl or python) for you favorite external tool.. (python has some plotting functions available, so I guess Perl does too.. ) or you can format as a CSV file or XML and pass it to Matlab, openOffice or (gasp) :-X MSExcel..
