AWD Calculator 'printvs' problem
Apr 04^th, 2009, 7:03am

This all happens in Cadence with AWD as my waveform tool.

I have done Monte Carlo simulation (400 iterations) for my circuit so that i got 400 transient waveforms(voltage vs time).

I am trying to get the voltage value at specific time points of all these 400 waveforms, say from 1ns to 1000ns with a 1ns step.

The method I am using is to press "family" button in Calculator, then to select the waveforms and press "printvs", after I specify the range and step, it is supposed to give me a table listing the voltage values at these time points with every iteration. I have tried with two iterations, it works fine. But for 400 waveforms, it gives out nothing. I checked the error message, "*Error* hiGetFieldInfo: Cannot find field body in form awviPrintWindowForm1 "

Anyone has any idea how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.

(you're probably hitting some hard limit). Otherwise you could try using the OCEAN ocnPrint() function to print to a file. Regards, Andrew.
