Updating Footprint on an existing BRD file
Hello friends: I need to replace an obsolete MCU on an existing functional board. The old MCU is 100-TQFP, the new MCU is 128-TQFP. In addition, need to add one IC along with the new MCU. I plan to...

RE: Defining waveform thicknesses and colors on a white background in VIVA
No worries. One man's "lousy" is another man's "fabulous" ;-) Andrew.

RE: creating a schematic file from a netlist file
Hmm. You post a question on a 6 year old thread (suggest you read the forum guidelines ), but what's stranger is that the post you replied to actually answered your question...

RE: PCB Editor Immediately AutoSaving and Closing When Opening Design
I thought things were going well, until it happened again today. Along the lines of Paul's suggestion, I'm now trying with autosave 'on'. See if that has any effect. Up for any other suggestions too.

RE: creating a schematic file from a netlist file
The only company I know that take a netlist and make is schematic is SpiceVision from Germany. (www.concept.de) I was hoping Cadence had a tool for this.

RE: straight line (best) fit using viva calculator
Hi Andrew, I was wondering if we can get end point fit with the same code.. probably with some minor modifications. Thanks, vamshiky

long time ocean simulation w/o saving any waveform database
hello exports, starting to have longer and longer time simulation but the waveform database apparently eating up the disk space quickly for day-long simulation. how can I config the ocean script based...

RE: creating a schematic file from a netlist file
Well, whilst SpiceVision does a very good job, as I've said more than once in this thread, Cadence does have a tool for this. File->Import->SPICE. Not quite sure why you've ignored my answer in...

RE: SKILL function for getting point ID (or netlist directory) in ADE XL
I've tried openResults() and it works perfectly Thank you so much for your help. I've been working on this for weeks, and it will reduce the script length by a lot.

RE: straight line (best) fit using viva calculator
So you just want a line between the first and last points? That would be very easy (although it wouldn't need any of the existing best fit code because it's much simpler). Before I show you how, I want...

RE: long time ocean simulation w/o saving any waveform database
David, Before I answer that, I need to ask some questions: Is this an OCEAN XL script - i.e. is it running multiple simulations with measurements that are being taken after each simulation (as you'd do...

RE: straight line (best) fit using viva calculator
Yes I want a line between first and last points, so that I can find the deviation from this fitted straight line.

RE: straight line (best) fit using viva calculator
I wouldn't call it a fitted line, but here's the code nevertheless. Was quite easy to throw together (it does bear some similarities with abBestFit, but it's considerably simpler as it doesn't need to...

RE: long time ocean simulation w/o saving any waveform database
hi Andrew, this is a valid question. just single step sim yet. our testbench is constructed so that we know the expected output from given input set and self-checked. the lengthy regression is to check...

How to plot frequency characteristic of capacitance?
Hi. all. I'd like to plot frequency characteristic of capacitance in spectre. In AC simulation, I get current of capacitor (Ic) and its imaginary part ( Im(Ic) ). Now tring to calculate Cap = Im(Ic) /...

spectre oceaneval funtion documentation
The oceaneval capability in spectre seems to be very poorly documented. It is mentioned indirectly in a couple places in the manual, but that's all I can find. I would like to know if it is possible to...

removing repetitions from list with same elements but in reverse order
Hi, I have a list which looks like this. for example a=( (1 2) (2 1) (1 3) (3 1) ) . I need a function to transverse this list as shown a=( (1 2) (1 3) ) or a = ( (2 1) (3 1) ) Thanks, Raghu

RE: long time ocean simulation w/o saving any waveform database
thanks Andrew, I got it. that gives me enough hooks to play with whenever I need them saved or not. still a little bit more clarification as you mentioned it'll default to save=selected and later you...

RE: removing repetitions from list with same elements but in reverse order
Hi Raghu, Assuming that 'a' is the original list of four sub-lists you can return the 'odd' or 'even' elements like this: idx=0 setof(item a idx++ && oddp(idx) && a) => ((1 2) (1 3)...
