The skill scripts are a collection of scripts to launch simulations and to log simulation results. These scripts are used as commands within an ocean script.
Table 3 lists the available skill scripts.
Table 3:Skill scripts
| Script | Description | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| sim | Launch a simulation | 4.2.1 |
| log_data | Log data point | 4.2.2 |
| log_wave | Log waveform | 4.2.3 |
| log_data_point | Creates waveform from data points | 4.2.4 |
| log_data_gap | Creates a gap in a waveform | 4.2.5 |
Load simulation script and run simulation.
Syntax:
sim "ocean_script" "corner"
Example:
> sim "test.ocn" "slow"
The example above simulates the script test.ocn in corner slow.
> sim "test.ocn"
runs the simulation in the same corner as previous simulation. Default corner is typ.
> sim
repeats the simulation using previous script file and corner.
Log single value data point.
Syntax:
log_data( data "filename" )
Data will be saved in the folder corresponding to the current simulation corner.
Example:
log_data(IDC("/V0/PLUS") "Isupply")
Log waveform data
Syntax:
log_wave( waveform "filename")
Save waveform data to a file named filename. Data will be saved in the folder corresponding to the current simulation corner.
Example:
log_wave(VT("/Vout") "Vout")
Save numerical data-point to waveform file
Syntax:
log_data_point(xdata ydata "filename")
This function is useful in simulation loops, where each iteration creates a new data-point.
Example:
foreach(vbias '(0.8 0.9 1.0)
desVar("Vbias" vbias)
run()
log_data_point(vbias value(dB20(VF("/out")),10M) "ACgain10M_vs_bias")
)
runs three simulations for vbias = 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0. A waveform ACgain10M_vs_bias is created.
Lifts the pen in a waveform. Syntax:
log_data_gap(output)
This is useful if the plot should not be a continues line.
Example:
log_data_gap("ACgain10M_vs_bias")
