Exporting data from OP Region Spec to "Outputs setup"
Good afternoon, I need to check the OP of the transistors in a schematic, under ADE-XL. To accomplish that I've used "OP Region Spec". I entered the parameters I wanted the expressions to have and...

RE: Equivalent function for hiDisplayFileDialog in IC5
Thanks for the answer for the rex* function. I actually encounter a problem when I using the function ddsFileBrowseCB(). This function do not block the code execution when the browser is popped up. I...

Changing the number of series instances in a schematic
Hi, Is there a way to parameterize the number of series instances in a schematic and be able to change that from the symbol parameters? Thanks, Mohammed

getData returns nil
Dear all, To get a wave object from my simulation results, I am trying to use the getData() command. However, I am having some issues with it. For example, getData("/OUT") returns nil in the CIW after...

RE: Changing the number of series instances in a schematic
Hi Mohammed, This will depend on whether it's supported by the specific component in the specific PDK you're using. Andrew.

RE: Changing the number of series instances in a schematic
Hi Andrew, It's not a PDK component. I'm having a schematic/symbol of a model of wire of unit length. And I want to be able to change the number of units when I instantiate that cell. Mohammed

RE: Changing the number of series instances in a schematic
So if this is for instantiation in VLS XL, you could add a CDF parameter to your component called s and then you can set it to whatever you want. VLS XL will then use this parameter to generate...

RE: Changing the number of series instances in a schematic
By the way, it rather helps if you say what tools you're actually using, which version and so on - the Forum Guidelines (pinned post at the top of each forum) explain this. Otherwise there ends up...

RE: getData returns nil
Hi Nicolas, For a start, you almost certainly need to specify ?result to tell it which analysis to get the result from (e.g. getData("/OUT" ?result 'tran)) - otherwise it doesn't know. In ADE XL you're...

RE: Equivalent function for hiDisplayFileDialog in IC5
If you're wanting the form displayed by ddsFileBrowseCB to block, then it won't. Sorry. You'd have to write some code to create your own file browser if you really wanted that - I wrote something years...

RE: PicknPlace File generated from Orcad Layout is not in correct format
This doesn't seem to work my version of cadence software. I'm currently using Layout 16.0, i believe and it doesn't give me an option to edit the pick and place file.

RE: PicknPlace File generated from Orcad Layout is not in correct format
Is there a way to automatically center the insertion origin of the component to it's actual center in Orcad Layout ? I believe that perhaps the reason why your instructions are not working for me, is...

RE: Changing the number of series instances in a schematic
I'm using Virtuoso6/123 and MMSIM/161. I will read the Forum Guidelines soon, I've just created the account this afternoon I'm trying to do that for simulation purpose only, I don't have a layout. So I...

RE: Changing the number of series instances in a schematic
Well, you can do it by doing something like: You can't parameterise the bus widths though (this is 6 in series - and so you have 5 internal nodes). The only real way to do this is to build a schematic...

RE: getData returns nil
Thanks for the clarification. Though, the manual gives an example where getData() is used without ?result and ?resultsDir. Is this an error? Regards, Nicolas

RE: getData returns nil
Nicolas, Probably not. You can omit the ?result argument if you call selectResult() beforehand to specify the current result to use. Obviously that’s not something you’d do as part of a single...

RE: PicknPlace File generated from Orcad Layout is not in correct format
The solution proposed above is for OrCad PCB Designer / Allegro, the poster is requesting help for OrCad Layout. Did you check with your CM to see if they can use another data format? Some CMs Cam...

RE: PicknPlace File generated from Orcad Layout is not in correct format
You don't want to do that anyway. That's a good way to generate errors. Just edit your parts in the library per my instructions and you will be find. Your pick and place guy will be happy.

RE: PicknPlace File generated from Orcad Layout is not in correct format
Good point. But, no matter what the format is, the XY data should be in a text file. Most CM's can or have conversion scripts based upon the PCB tool used to flip the data into the correct format that...
