Post-processing capabilities in Verilog-AMS/Spectr (Read 3340 times)

Faisal Community Member Offline Posts: 90	Post-processing capabilities in Verilog-AMS/Spectr Aug 03^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 ? Faisal

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..
