Forum Post: RE: Difference between dft and the Spectrum
If you are using the dft or spectrum tool on a continuous waveform (rather than a sampled waveform that might come out of a DAC, say), then you should set the strobeperiod parameter on the tran...
View ArticleForum Post: RE: Alter statement usage for trimming (reelaborate card)
You can't do that. You're trying to add a SKILL function in the netlist, and that's not going to work. Potentially you could write some SpectreMDL to do something similar, I think. Regards, Andrew.

You can't really do that, because cdsTerm only works looking up a specified terminal name on whatever ilInstPath is set to. Accessing an arbitrary net gets you into the whole challenge of needing...

View ArticleForum Post: RE: deepprobe to a bussed net in AMS
This is a challenge, because the mapping performed to convert between spectre syntax and Verilog syntax for the bus gets in the way. There was an earlier discussion that I was party to in CCR 1544227...

Thanks! This does work, though it also enables all layer sets and changes what layers the user is currently looking at. Though I guess there's not a way around that.
